The Journey - New Zealand
North Island
This part of the country is home to roughly 3.6 million people, that may seem like hardly nothing but when compared to the South Island's mere 1.05 million it is a lot more. Having traveled both Island's in the space of a year the question of 'Which island did you like the most? is extremely hard to answer as both have their pro's and cons and are equally as impressive.
Best Mountain
Mt Ruapehu in Ski Season is phenominal
