South Island. Paradise. Milford Sound. Maori culture. Beautiful scenery everywhere. Maybe some go for the surfing.

It's a lot greener than Australia. You couldn't pay me to go to Australia. (Shhhh.... )

P.S. I imagine NZ is big on lamb. If you want to know how to make a really tasty lamb dish, go to Mongolia or Central Asia, and learn how to make steamed lamb dumplings. People will beat a path to your door. Guaranteed.
At least give us a fair go, Ruthie!

Yep, I won't make any sheep jokes.

I had a 'momo' a Tibetan dumpling at the markets here with lamb. Lamb is actually a common meat in central and western China, Mongolia, Tibet.etc.
