Down Under
You can’t really get anything further away from the normal way of things here without leaving the planet, than to go right round the world to see our antipodean comrades. But I’m not talking about the those people down under that most normally think of, I’m talking about the ones on the other side of the Tasman Sea. Yes, New Zealand.
Although NZ always lives in the shadow of its bigger neighbour this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have it’s own beaches and attractions which put those in Oz to shame. It also a has a history which is strikingly different to Australia and has a lot more in common with its Polynesian neighbours to the East.
But, of course New Zealand has been getting its own positive reactions of late, mainly due to the global success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. New Zealand though doesn’t really have it’s own climate, it has many microclimates that make it as much like tahiti as it is like Scotland it has Fjords like Norway and geysers like Iceland. This is where we should all be going for those big holidays of a lifetime.
