New Zealand - Spectacular South Island |
The man who first conquered Everest honed his skills in the mountains of his native New Zealand. Now in his 80s, Sir Edmund Hillary embodies the best of New Zealand, committed to preservation of its breathtaking environment and unique wildlife and still up for an adventure in the mountains, rivers and seacoast of these spectacular islands. Kiwis are united in their love of this land of glaciers, fjords, rain forests, geysers, great lakes and raging rivers. That spirit lies deep in the Maori culture New Zealand's first settlers saw all life, power and energy emanating from the land, sea and sky. Their legends, religion and intricate carvings and tattoos recall sea spirits, gods of the forest, and the great Mother Earth and Father Sky.

| There aren't words to say thank you for this trip. We had a wonderful time. Wang Jun was one of finest guides I've ever had - Jai being the other. In addition to the cultural and historical components that he provides, he is also a gastronomic expert - a special plus. Two of my favorite pix are of him with menu in hand and waitress with pen at the ready putting together a meal. Hotels were always clean and comfortable. We ran the gambit from the luxurious St Regis to the more basic Guo Tai, each interesting. We had about nine minutes of sun while we were in Guighou, but that's something even you have no control over. I didn't expect to be this choked up at leaving but Wang has become a friend and that's one of the joys of travel. |
