NZ is great! Driving is fun but every bridge in the entire country is one lane, so you have to learn the etiquette!
There are jet boats on all the rivers that will certainly excite Mrs. 80!
Mostly just beautiful scenery, and if a "Lord Of The Rings" fanatic, you can visit various places seen in the films, including Hobbittown! Golem is no longer on the roof of the airport....
It's very laid back and the folks are great, but have a really annoying accent!
There are ferries between the big islands and trains that are quite scenerific....but mostly just a small quiet country. Australia it ain't!
