My New Zealand road trips.

 New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa) is an island country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses ‒ that of the North and South Islands ‒ as well as numerous smaller islands.What I like about NZ is that this country has it all....modern cities like Auckland , Wellington ,Christchurch, and small, remote and thinly populated townships, beautiful lakes,snow capped mountains and endless miles of roads that give you sheer driving pleasure.

 NZ punches well above its weight with its outlandish scenery, fabulous festivals, superb food and wine, and magical outdoor experiences. Equally impressive is NZ’s potent, mainstream Maori culture best seen at Rotorua, the heartland of Maori culture.

   Stuff.co.nz....http://www.stuff.co.nz/ recently featured their Top 10 NZ roads.   http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/motoring/great-nz-roads/6392236/Top-10-NZ-roads-Number-1
