This is an episode from the TV series (depending upon your location, called "Lonely Planet", "Globe Trekker", or "Pilot Productions"). You can see more about it at http://www.globetrekkertv.com This episode covers travels on the North Island and the South Island of New Zealand. Your travel host is Ian Wright (a truly zany bloke). Focus is on travel-on-a-shoestring methods, and off-the-beaten-path sights, and gives you a realistic sense of "being there". Locations visited: [North Island] Auckland, Maori meeting house in Matauri Bay, Bay of Islands, Rotorua volcanic area, crossing at Wellington; [South Island] Christchurch, Queenstown, and Fox Glacier. Although funny as ever, this episode was not able to thorougly cover many worthy sights in a (what is for most people undexpectedly) large country.
