\n Carole from San Diego would like some help planning a trip to
\n new Zealand. I am travelling to the south island of New
\n Zealand in March and would love some suggestions from other
\n members. We have our itinerary set-landing in Dunedin and
\n going south and back up-crossing at Arthur's Pass to and
\n leaving from Christchurch.\n <\/p>\n

\n We are also planning to take a cruise into Milford Sound and
\n from what we’ve read, the only company that has a
\n cruise without a naturalist aboard is Fiordland Travel.\n <\/p>\n

\n Are there others and if so, which is the best. Also, we
\n are interested in doing some hiking in the area-but nothing
\n strenuous.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Kepler Track was recommended, but in reading about it, it
\n appears that to go in for a few hours would only take us
\n along the lake. Is there a walk w\/more
\n interesting\/spectacular scenery?\n <\/p>\n

\n Thank you in advance for your response.\n <\/p>\n
