There is some ambiguity and mystery about New Zealand
Island. It may be due to its isolation from the world for many years, and may
be due to being one of the last land areas inhabited by humans. But this
self-help helped it to maintain the natural diversity that the human hand did
not change.
This makes it an oasis that invites tourists to relax
in its embrace away from the noise of cities and the pollution of spaces,
especially as it does not prevent them from entering into a world of endless
adventures. All this does not mean that this island of wild nature, free of the
features of urbanization and civilization, but vice versa.
Here the tourist will find all the facilities and
services of the developed cities, from buses and trains that work throughout
the day accurately, to the main paved roads, and the various healthy
restaurants, where he can eat any meal comfortably. ATMs are also available
everywhere and there are no sleeping mosquitoes on the island as some might
imagine, no snakes or poisonous spiders. But it remains the most important
attraction in it, its kind people, they welcome all with warm smiles.
New Zealand is located in the southwestern Pacific and
has 4.5 million inhabitants. It is not a part of Australia, as some think, but
a self-contained state where the indigenous people settled between 1250 and
1300. Their culture is still part of the social fabric of the country,
appearing in language, dance festivals and music.
Next to it stands the culture of early British
settlers and immigrants who came to it from 1907 when they were part of the
British Empire under King Edward VII. In 1947, the island changed its own
parliament and legislation, although Elizabeth II remained the queen of the
country and was represented by a governor-general. During the years of
independence, the capital, Wellington, has become a city full of people and full
of markets, museums, showrooms, theaters and beaches crowded with sea lovers,
surrounded by fields, farms and pastures.
