New Zealand

Holiday or traveling to NZ? New Zealand is the country located at exactly the bottom of the earth compared to the Netherlands. Abel Tasman was the first European to discover the country. There are still many things in the country that remind you of that. It is the Abel Tasman National Park at the northern tip of the South Island. In addition, a monument has been erected in memory. However, this met with resistance from the Maori community in particular. There are still tensions between Maori descendants and New Zealanders of Western descent. In particular, the relatively well-organized Maoris (compared to the Aboriginals in Australia) and the lack of clarity from the New Zealand government cause a lot of discussion. The country consists of two large islands and a few smaller islands, such as in the Bay of Islands in the north of the North Island. The country contains many geothermal activities that in many cases are a true attraction so definitely plan this on a trip or vacation. There are the craters of the moon (craters of the moon) in a indeed almost lunar landscape. Furthermore, the city of Rototua is surrounded by volcanic activities. There are also several volcanoes in New Zealand, some of which are still active. New Zealand, unlike Australia, has no dangerous animals (so no poisonous snakes, white sharks, spiders, etc.), but does have a separate kiwi bird, which only lives at night. There are also many possums to see (mostly hit by the road).
