Says a friend...

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. =)
