New Zealand, October 2007

I went to New Zealand for a break in October. The highlights of my holiday were the visits to Doubtful Sound and Fox Glacier in the South Island.

Doubtful Sound, located in the World Heritage Area of Fjordland, is an overwhelming place. I was awestruck by the beautiful alpine scenery. The beauty of nature-the remoteness, the wilderness and the peace, simply took my breath away!

At 13 kms, Fox Glacier is the longest of the awe-inspiring New Zealand West Coast glaciers. It is one of the most accessible glaciers in the world. I took a helicopter ride up and enjoyed a stunning view of the towering peaks, crevasse filled glaciers and sparkling waterways.

If you love the peace and tranquility of nature, New Zealand is a place not to be missed!
