About the Book
The authors describe their six-week holiday, in February and March 2011, during which they spent three to five days each in Singapore, Sydney, Christchurch, Melbourne, Kowloon and Hong Kong, and sixteen days touring New Zealand South and North Islands by APT coach. The tour began in Christchurch and ended in Auckland. The book, presented on high quality gloss paper, comprises a detailed day-by-day narrative of forty-thousand words describing what they saw and in many cases the historical or geographical background to the places they visited. The book is beautifully illustrated by some 300 photographs taken during the tour.
