Solo New Zealand Trip Review, Mountains, Beaches, Sounds, Hillsides & the People

Overall, I consider my trip paradoxical.  On one hand it was an amazing trip that I wont ever see again, but on the other hand it was overwhelming, tiring and was worn out at the end of it all.  Please understand that the last comment is my fault/responsibility and not the tour group. The travel company and the local tour company both delivered as stated in their booklets/brochures and statements. They all did a wonderful job in accommodating me and all the tour group during this trip. I didnt see anyone that was unhappy, treated wrongly or upset. It was a wonderful trip.  The trouble was that I wanted to see as much of New Zealand as possible in that amount of time.  And I did see everything but I didnt realize that to accomplish that there would be very little down time or breaks to relax. Because of my inexperience in traveling, and traveling in groups, I was caught off guard. So I learned alittle about myself. But my hats off to these two tour groups, this travel company and the local tour company.  I would recommend them to anyone. Accommodations, food, tour events all excellent.  My only suggestion would be to the people traveling is to make sure they know who they are and really know what they want out of the trip they desire. So thank you for this experience and once I rest up you may hear from me again.
