I think as you are going to be in Auckland anyway you should try to see some of NZ while you are here if you can find the time....... what I was concerned about is (from my point of view anyway as someone that doesn't really like cities.... there is a reason the Boss & I live out in the country & are not farmers) what you could get to without loosing a fair amount of time with travel in those few days.
Oh, I know you didn't mean anything by it, I was just agreeing, not a lot of time. I wish we had more time to spend there - I wish we had more time to spend in Australia, too, where we are devoting most of our time. And I'm with you on the city thing, although VISITING a city can be fun occasionally.
Being a typical American (not knowing that much about places far away that we don't see in the movies), all I really know about New Zealand is lots of really great scenery. One thing we are looking at is a Lord of the Rings tour in Christchurch - while I enjoyed the movies, I'm not a big-time fan, but I figured that given all those beautiful places seen in the movie, we're likely to get a good look at things.
