New Zealand

With a landscape ranging from moss-cloaked forests to cloud-piercing mountains, the two islands that make up New Zealand are sheer enchantment. The air is exhilarating, an invitation to attempt an entire alphabet of sports, from abseiling to zorbing. "This Way New Zealand" shows you all the extremes of the "land of the long white cloud", from its sedate cities -- Wellington, the capital, and Auckland on the North Island, Christchurch on the South -- to the superlative scenery of glaciers and geysers, vast sheep stations and beaches of black sand.
