The following tidbits were gleaned directly from the experiences of our friends who visited New Zealand a couple of years ago.
5. New Zealand has really good vineyards and wine tours. ‘Nuff said.
6. New Zealand also has a great deal of very good cheeseries. Cheese is, of course, the natural ally of wine. Other natural allies of wine and cheese include: Laurens, Glens, artists, and librarians. Our bases are therefore covered.
7. The humidity in Fiji is absolutely oppressive and may potentially short out electronics such as the laptop we are planning on toting with us. Appropriate cases in which to keep the laptop safe and dry must be located.
8. The best place to stay in Fiji is (according to our friends’ experiences) Caqali island. The best way to approach Caqali is to to to Leluvia island first. Bring stomach remedies for nausea and constipation.
9. Zorbing is overrated. It is fun while it lasts, which isn’t long, but is not really worth the price. It sounds sort of like the overpriced inflatable innertube ice slide that an Edmonton ski-hill runs; quite fun, but they charge entirely too much for the single brief death-slide down the hill.
10. The Rotorua mud pools and thermal activities, on the other hand, are defiantly worth the time and money. The mud and thermal spas were recommended to us, and I intend on taking up those recommendations. Glen and I do love our hot springs.
