Hi kiwi's out there ! I'm a Dutch woman ( currently living in Tokyo ) but I'm planning a long trip ( 3 weeks or longer )to come and see new-Zealand for the very first time ! I can't drive so what are best places to visit without a car! As long as I can take a bus or train or plane I'm fine I quess ! Definitely I would like to see Oakland , Christchurch and Wellington but what are such highlights and what else could you recommend me ? I'm not so much of a surf girl but interested in castles / churches / museums or amusementpark and fashion -shopping !!! I'm planning to go in April - May any problem weather wise and how about great affordable hotels ?! Cheap train / air flights ! I heard they can over - charge foreigners like me !!
