new zealand

i just got back from a short holiday in new zealand, and i must say, it is so much better than what all the tourism ads claim. those things do no justice to the supreme beauty and grandeur of new zealand.

we spent ten days driving around the southern parts of the south island including 2 days of skiiing, which if you havent done is a must-do activity. the major places we went to were mt.cook, milford sound and the glaciers, but travelling in new zealand is much more about the bits in between; the little tracks and unsealed roads that lead to stunning gorges, dazzling waterfalls and dizzy peaks, the sound of birdsong and bleating lambs, the lush farmland and dense forests and the thousands of rivers that criss-cross the land.

there's lots of photos to come- i havent uploaded them as i havent looked thru them yet. but soon....i still have over a week of leave. the worst thing about holidays is the intense feeling of withdrawal one gets after returning home...
