When I told people I was going to New Zealand to present my ReAssert paper, nearly everyone asked if I was planning to travel around the country. Absolutely. One does not visit New Zealand for a three-day conference, then immediately turn around and go home. I stayed for 10 days. During that time, I attended the conference, toured Auckland, drove all over the south island with and , and saw more interesting things than I could possibly fit into one weblog post.
I considered writing a travel report like my Yellowstone or California posts, but the length of this trip made me feel that a different approach was necessary. The map below shows the path I/we took through New Zealand. Clicking it will take you to with descriptions and pictures of the interesting places.
I posted more pictures in the gallery (see also Yun Young's ). Here are a few of my favorites:

I think I saw Frodo in that picture of the mountain. There was some weird, short, goblin guy following him and talking to himself.
