A PIECE OF HEAVEN

Not rhetoric when New Zealand is often hailed as a piece of paradise left in the world. Perfection untouched nature hands of ignorant humans make friends with the audience. In order to maintain the purity of this country, forget to bring raw food from outside or soil attached to shoes if you do not want to be embarrassed by airport officials. Has two large islands main North Island and South Island, each of which has its own unique landscape that is affected by geography. When the North Island more populated region is famous for geothermal attractive and dramatic beaches, South Island has the southern alps or mountain ranges complete with mystical fjord.

Flight for approximately 12 hours from Indonesia will start to pay off when the foot touches the ground until this nation. Especially at international airports Christchurch, do not be surprised when entering the facility you will be greeted recording garbarata kiwi bird chirp complete with artificial pine scent and breezy fresh air. Although known to be very strict regulations, customs officers New Zealand is the most friendly, smile, love to talk and some can speak Indonesian though basic.

What’s in the minds of tourists when they want to enjoy the beautiful interior of New Zealand is a mode of transportation and accommodation. Blessed with a smooth road conditions and zero congestion, campervan hire is the best option. Thus the need for mobilization, accommodation until logistics can be accommodated in one place like a home run. Then if the campervan hire can be free stay anywhere?

Thank you for the New Zealand Department of Conservation, which provides a wide range of stopover places ranging from free to paid, from the coast up to the middle of the forest. If you are tired of always sleep in the campervan, can spend the night at a holiday park or a farm stay with facilities like hotels, but in general it is further integrated with nature.

North Island

Has a larger population than the South Island, the island has two main cities namely Wellington (the state capital) and Auckland (largest and most populous). No doubt that Auckland is the heart of New Zealand. In addition to the business and entertainment center, the city is benefiting from its position closer to the center of tourist attraction.

Rotorua, drive approximately three hours from Auckland, this region will present the active geothermal landscape that is so unique. A short trip can be followed by visiting Lake Taupo which is the largest freshwater lake in New Zealand formation of mountain vukanik Taupo caldera. Wants to further extend the trip can visit Tongariro National Park which is a UNESCO cultural heritage landscape. Do not miss to trekking across the peaks of Tongariro and watch the spectacular colored crater.

Although predicated as the central government and the island connecting the north and south, Wellington has its own charm. Having a hilly contours geology, housing many local and foreign residents is above a steep hill. Coastal area in Oriental Parade match enjoyed for exercise or just enjoy the color.

South Island

Tip of the iceberg stretches like a pyramid marching from the north to the southern tip of the south island splitting it into two long coast, east and west. Greenish eyes water like emerald makes sunlight to penetrate easily, keep the garden below. Sheep live happily on a patch of grass as a true hill. Small to be felt in the work of art the Lord of hosts is the impression I get when visiting the South Island of New Zealand in particular.

Trip around the South Island can be done either clockwise or counter-clockwise, with Christchuch as starters and Queesntown as median. Queesntown dubbed as the “Mecca” of his devotee adrenalin activities become the center of attraction for tourists in the South Island. Various activities can be done include: skydiving, paragliding, jet shotover, bungee jumping, kayaking, helicopter tours and much more.

This time I opted to try the guts to follow skydiving. Freefall for 20 seconds before the parachute opens with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 12,000 feet above sea level it is like the sensation of endless, as time moves very slowly to wait until landing. Choice of other activities that are not so spend too deep is a jetboat ride on the Shotover River. In this activity the passengers will be taken down a narrow gorge over the shallow river boat super fast with the occasional maneuvered 360 degrees.

If at any time you want to feel the beauty of nature is phenomenal and challenging mental, New Zealand is a perfect destination.
