100 Places to Visit - #85-81 New Zealand
Back in October I was luck enough to take a trip to visit both New Zealand and Australia. Here's 5 places I got to visit as part of the trip which I thought were good to recommend.
85. Auckland Museum, Auckland, New Zealand
This museum has most of the first floor dedicated to Maori art and artifacts all of which are amazingly detailed. They also have information on the natural history of New Zealand and New Zealand's involvement with various wars, but we didn't have enough time for that.
84. Piha Beach, Auckland
This volcanic black sand beach can be found a short drive away from Auckland by going up and over the Waitakere range to the west coast. Lion Rock guards the beach which is famous for its surfing.
83. Queenstown
It is hard to find a bad view of the Remarkables from anywhere in town and the mountains bring a wide range of outdoor activities. This area was also home to a lot of the filming for the Lord of The Rings movies.
82. Fiordland
It isn't easy getting into the fiords, but the scenery is stunning and there's some pretty cool wildlife as well.
81. Speight's Brewery, Dunedin
The Dunedin area has some pretty neat things going for it, but I can't resist a good brewery and pub, particularly when I get to have my birthday dinner there.
