New Zealand
New Zealand is situated in the South Pacific ocean and consists of two main islands, North

north of the country and the east coast are more windy than the far South. New Zealand's
summer months are December to February and this is an excellent time to visit the country
beautiful pictures. They are ideal for swimming, sunbathing and diving in autumn. The forest
woods of Central Otago and Autumnbay are popular with visitors with the colorful changing
leaves and beautiful scenery. There are also evergreen forests which are home to the famous
kiwi bird. This type of bird cannot flight and therefore lives on the ground. It is a nocturnal
creature. Thus, you can see it digging in the ground for insects.
Winter is the best time to visit the mountains. I enjoy skiing amidst beautiful views of the
landscape and glaciers. In spring, there will be a flower festival where city folks celebrate it
with a parade and multiple decorations. If you are a fan of adventure sports, New Zealand has

water levels high enough for exciting rapid adventures.
