SWMBO & I are planning a trip to NZ sometime next year and in an attempt
to balance out her choice of scenic locations to visit, I'd welcome
suggestions of 'must see' locations for an
engineer/scientist/woodbutcher like myself and like most readers of this NG.

Suggestions please (polite or at least humourous naturally!)

Weblinks to events too would be good. visit is possible next November or
just maybe sooner - next February.

TIA

If you're up for it, NZ is the one of the world's premier gliding
places. Several world distance/hieght records are/were held there.
They have been trying to get the world height record, theoretically
achievable due to the South Polar Vortex.
But you can get a ride. Conditions are very predictble so it should
be a good experience.
