Hi is anyone going to New Zealand soon or has been that can give me a few tips i.e. on type of currency to take and also help in planning my wardrobe. The holiday is looming and I am now getting slightly nervous - well a lot actually.

Hi Ann

I'm going to NZ next month. I'll be taking a few NZ dollars and hitting the cash machines out there with my debit card. As far as wardrobe is concerned, I'd love to have some tips too; so if you get any, please pass them on to me.

Thanks

Hi Ann,

There is little problem finding places to change money on this tour. Travellers cheques (sterling or dollars) are very secure, and a bit of cash too. Probably the hardest place to change money is the US, so for these 3 days you'll need some dollars cash plus a credit card or dollar travellers cheques.

The weather should be fairly warm throughout, but you won't regret bringing a waterproof jacket (New Zealand gets a lot of rain) and maybe a jumper / cardy. Dress is pretty informal everywhere we go, but it's nice to have something smart for the odd night out.

The trip is fabulous - be prepared for a few long days on the coach as we really do pack a lot in, and don't forget your camera!

See you at Heathrow next week, Judy (tour manager)
