New Zealand - Dan Colwell

With a landscape ranging from moss-cloaked forests to cloud-piercing mountains, the two islands that make up New Zealand are sheer enchantment. Little wonder the country was chosen as the setting for Middle Earth and Narnia. Its air is exhilarating, invigorating, an invitation to attempt an entire alphabet of sports, from abseiling and bungy jumping to windsurfing and zorbing. This Way New Zealand shows you all the extremes of the 'land of the long white cloud', as the Maoris used to call it, from its sedate cities -- Wellington, the capital, and Auckland on the North Island, Christchurch on the South -- to the superlative scenery of glaciers and geysers, vast sheep stations and beaches of black sand.
