Here is my sharing about travelling to New Zealand at 2011 from Dec 12 to Dec 31 with my wife for honeymoon.
Why we chooose this place, it’s because this place is magnificent for it scenery. Every place we look around from the day one we arrive until the end is so beautiful, the landscape is really gorgeus. The people’s are so kind.
Lot of people said that the amount of people in here is fewer than the sheep. I guess that is true, many public place like supermarket, gas station and restaurant only use small number of people comparing to the size of the area, maybe even only one people there running all of that.
It’s also known for its midnight sun cause it’s position down of the earth. So when i first experience it, my biological body clock seems deceived. Its because at 10 PM still like in the morning and kinda feel like we dont want to sleep at that moment. Also driving a car in this moment like a zombie movie scene i ever saw :). Just like a dead city, which we drive but there is no single people out the, either the car.
Overall, this place is highly recommended for you all to visit. When you want to a find a picturesque at every inch corner in there and tranquility peace of mind by its nature then this is the right places.
