New Zealand

It was during the holidays that Father decided to take us to an unusual destination for a vacation: New Zealand. I knew very little about the country and to satisfy my curiosiiy decided to learn as much as I could about it. Even before we left, I was fascinated. New Zealand was the southern most land in our half of the world. It was the last land before one stepped onto Antarctica. It’s population was as big as that of Singapore and its total area was 200 times that of ours.

We landed at Auckland Airport and were struck by the quiet dignity of the land. From here we went on an organised tour. Our holiday was in December and since we were in the southern hemisphere, it was summer. Once we had left the city and taken the road to the country we were amazed at the natural beauty of the land. It was filled with mountains, waterfalls, valleys, lakes, gorges and fast flowing rivers. New Zealand needs no tourist attraction: it is one big tourist attraction in itself.

We saw many interesting sights and spent two weeks in this wonderful country. The people of New Zealand are devout environmentalists. They have strict rules about preserving the environment. For example they plant fir trees everywhere to replace the trees that had been cut down. It seemed to me that they are actually replanting all the forests they had lost. The rules for people who walk into the forests are also strict.

We had an opportunity to visit a mountain resort. The mountain was snow capped and had an unusual name — Rupehu. I learnt that there is snow at this resort all the year and people enjoy skiing here. We spent two days at the resort and then went to a lake called Lake Taupo. I was informed by our guide that the lake is as big as Singapore.

When I left New Zealand, I was convinced that it is the most beautiful land in the world. In spite of that I was quite sure that the most beautiful thing about New Zealand is the people. They are so kind and gentle and made us feel so welcome that I am determined that I will visit their beautiful country again and again in the future.
