New Zealand Vacation

​New Zealand is a country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean consisting of 2 main islands, both marked by volcanoes and glaciation. Capital Wellington, on the North Island, is home to Te Papa Tongarewa, the expansive national museum. Wellington’s dramatic Mt. Victoria, along with the South Island’s Fiordland and Southern Lakes, stood in for mythical Middle Earth in Peter Jackson’s "Lord of the Rings" films.  New Zealand is on every traveler’s bucket list. It is a relatively young and wealthy Pacific agricultural nation with breathtaking views. New Zealand language and customs still bear the vestiges of British culture. ​
