Description: "Explore Wellington, New Zealand's capital and third largest urban area, a place where the fine dining is matched only by the views accompanying your meal. Everyone is catered for in Wellington though, from visitors looking for a serious dose of culture to those who come searching for the outdoor activities that New Zealand is famous for. Magnificent Fiordland is one of the largest national parks in the world and home to the impossibly national parks in the world and home to the impossibly beautiful Milford Sound. Spend time here enjoying some of the most awe inspriring scenery to be found anywhere on earth. World-class vineyards flourish across the gorgeous Marlborough region, there are over 40 wineries in the city of Blenheim alone, so sit back, take in the scenery and enjoy a well-deserved glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Relax away from it all along the beautiful, tranquil East Cape. Here Gisborne, also known as 'The Chardonnay Capital of New Zealand', is the closest city in the world to the International Date Line and, therefore, the 'First to See The Light'."--Back cover.
