-<h3>Says a friend...</h3>
-<blockquote>
-You should go to milford sound and take one of the small boat cruises if you can. The waterfalls are over a mile high in most places -- they're more like vertical rivers than waterfalls... the pancake rocks in Greymouth are really worth seeing too. I really liked the city of Nelson a lot, it's very chill. I also liked Queenstown, but my brother (who's been living here for 9 months) didn't care for it. I only spent a few hours there though. My brother also didn't like Christchurch much.

-oh, and go to the craters of the moon near the caldera south of rotorua, they were pretty intense. boiling mud and steam shooting everywhere, I thought it was very cool. =)
