I agree. I spent a slightly longer period there 20 years ago, but
I was working; we only got a couple of weeks where any sightseeing
was possible. We never got to the Southern Alps (the big mountain
range on the south island), but we did get to see some amazing sights
(including subtropical rainforests full of plants found nowhere else
on earth, the Rotorua geothermal area, etc., etc.)
I've only got a couple of images from that period scanned, at present.
They can be found at the new home of my website (the old SGI address
will be going away very soon): http://www.panix.com/~johnf/

is from the South island - that shot was taken in Christchurch.
