Luxury Australia & New Zealand Tour Review: Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland, Wine Tour, Waitomo Caves, Queenstown, Milford Sound...

It was all fantastic. We had been to Australia some 11 years ago. We did the barrier reef, Uluru, outback, great ocean road, symphony house, and Zoo's galore then. This time we did the most marvelous walking tours in Melbourne into the Arcades and parks. Similarly, in Sydney we walked and walked all over town, from Coogie beach to Bondi beach as well as Manly. New Zealand was new to us. The vegetation and climate seemed very Mediterranean on the north island . Did a wonderful wine tour on Waiheke island. Rotorua was a very pleasant surprise. There are many Impressive geysers there. It smells of sulfur but the place is clean and picturesque. Could easily have spent another day there. Our trip concluded with 4 nights in Queenstown on the South Island. It is a beautiful mountain resort with endless outdoor activities to offer ( for a price) . The lake had crystal clear water. Took a bus for an all day you to the Milford Sound. We lucked out with the weather. Early May is late fall but the temperature went into the 60 so quite pleasant for sightseeing.
