New Zealand! Part 9 - Tours

We took tours in these places:

- Waitangi -- tour of the place where the treaty of Waitangi was signed -
- Whakarewarewa - tour of the living Maori village right by Rotorua
- Gondola ride above Queenstown
- Day cruise of Doubtful Sound
- Visit at the hardware store (E Hayes) where a collection of Burt Munro's motorcycles and stuff can be seen, including The Fastest Indian in the World (the original motorcycle)
- Personal guided tour of Dunedin by the Andersons
- Taieri Gorge Rail tour
- Cadbury chocolate factory tour in Dunedin
- Grand tour of Christchurch - included Punting on the Avon (kind of like an Italian gondola ride); tour of the Botanic Gardens, gondola ride above town (like an enclosed ski lift), and tram tour around town
