| During 2007 I spent 5 weeks touring New Zealand,
firstly on South Island and then on North Island. This was an
independent tour for which I planned the itinerary and booked all
the accommodation and trips before I left England. I spent the first
week with a friend and we stayed at her brother's house and in
motels. For the rest of the time I hired a car and stayed in youth
hostels. Much of the holiday was sight seeing with short walks but there were some longer walks which encompassed a variety of landscapes and experiences. These varied from the picturesque bays in the Abel Tasman National Park to the starkness of the volcanic plateau on the Tongariro Crossing. Below are links to each of these walks: Milford Track - a mountain track on South Island Franz Josef Glacier - one of South Island's accessible glaciers Tongariro Crossing - volcanic plateau on North Island White Island - an active volcano off North Island
