Summary: Practical off-beat travel tips as seen on TV
Review: This is an episode from the TV series (depending upon your location, called "Lonely Planet", "Globe Trekker", or "Pilot Productions").
You can see more about it at http://www.globetrekkertv.com
This episode covers travels on the North Island and the South Island of New Zealand.
Your travel host is Ian Wright (a truly zany bloke).
Focus is on travel-on-a-shoestring methods, and off-the-beaten-path sights, and gives you a realistic sense of "being there".
Locations visited: [North Island] Auckland, Maori meeting house in Matauri Bay, Bay of Islands, Rotorua volcanic area, crossing at Wellington; [South Island] Christchurch, Queenstown, and Fox Glacier.
Although funny as ever, this episode was not able to thorougly cover many worthy sights in a (what is for most people undexpectedly) large country.
