Invaluable information on New Zealand

You can stop looking for a guide that includes invaluable information on New Zealand. I went to the Indianapolis Public Library and found a few books on New Zealand. A travel guide that contains a wealth of information is, "Discover New Zealand," Lonely Planet series by Charles Rawlings-Way, et al. It directs you easily to every highlight. You can plan out itineraries, find references to local experts and it also includes a "pull-out map." You can discover incredible Auckland, Rotorua (in the North Island) and Wellington at the lower tip of the North island. The South Island is notable for Marlborough with its wineries; Christchurch - a vibrant city despite being hit by a natural disaster (an earthquake). My buddy from high school lives in Christchurch. Queenstown and the South is incredibly scenic. Many join tour groups travel by air, bus or train. You can even travel by boat. This guide even includes a Survival Guide directory, believe it or not. I am a senior so I grabbed this book. Take a look at this book before you plan to travel to Auckland. Make sure you travel with a note book as it may be difficult to remember the names of places that are in Maori.
