New Zealand it is!!

i now move on New Zealand my friends... there were many other places in Europe that i visited that i would love to write about including London, Venice, Rome and of course The Leaning tower of Pisa but frankly i don't remember much about these places and providing partial information would be an insult to the exotic aura that these places inherently possess. So rather than me painting an incomplete picture about them and completely marring your image about these places i suggest u visit them urself and create images of ur own.
So back to New Zealand... after a 20 hour long flight from Bombay to Auckland, i was completely jet lagged add to that the survival on just drinks for those 20 hours( he food on the flight sucked as usual, they had unlimited booze though... ;) and the good ones not the cheap ones...). but the moment the plane starts to descend, i was overwhelmed with the feasty sight for my eyes driving all the jet lag away - with snow capped mountains on one side, the harbour on the other and green plains for as far as my eyes could see. This was unlike any other airport i had seen before.
Auckland has a natural harbour and a port. Its totally a commercial city with not many tourist attractions to its credit.
New Zealand is a volcanic country with a very high level of seismic activity and Auckland has quite a few craters of its created some thousands of years ago.
You could visit one of these craters or even visit the Sky tower and even jump off of it.. but totally missable.. nothing great about Auckland as such...
So, what if the start of New Zealand's journey wasn't as great as expected, it has a lot of great things to watch out for... so wait for it guys in the upcoming posts...
totally not missable!!!
