Afternoon all,
It seems appropriate to post this in this sector, given it's planning and I need advice. If it's in the wrong place feel free to move it.
I'm currently in the very early stages of planning 2020's trip to New Zealand. I already know that my planned route involves Virgin Atlantic and Air New Zealand via the USA and maybe even via Brisbane (so as to complete my links of flights around the world), but that I can sort out myself.
What I need is advice on where to actually go in New Zealand. I like my city breaks, so having a look at Auckland is certainly likely. I'm also tempted to see what Christchurch has to offer in that respect, and it is likely that is where I'll arrive from the UK. Still, advice on those would be appreciated, even if it's just accommodation recommendations.
Obviously New Zealand has a reputation for amazing scenery, so I'm wanting to see that. The most sensible way to do it appears to be the trains from the north to the south, with the ferry in between. Has anyone here done it, any recommendations etc?
It will be many months until I can book this, naturally, but with such a massive trip it's never too early to plan and start budgeting!
Thanks in advance for all help!
