Trips in New Zealand - Part 2: Places to go

Ten days left to start travelling, it was time to make the itinerary. However its not done yet, due to 2 reasons:

1. I'm waiting for the dates which Fabricio and Thiago Camelo (friends from Brazil) will be here.

2. I don't know from where i will start it. If it will be from the North to South Island, or the opposite. At the moment, i`m planning to start from Christchurch (south Island).

Anyway, the places to go were decided already:

South Island

Christchurch
Geraldine
Lake Tekapo
Mt. Cook
Queenstown
Milford Sound
Franz Josef
Greymouth
Hammer Springs
Kaikoura
Nelson (Abel Tasman National Park)

North Island

Wellington
Tongariro
Rotorua
Taupo
Waitomo
Bay of Plenty (Tauranga, Mt. Maungani, White Island)
Raglan
Coromandel Peninsula
Whangarei
Bay of Islands
Cape reinga

A lot of places for 28 days, huh?

However, part of them will be just for a little stay (less than a day), as they are on the way to somewhere better to stay and enjoy, or because it is worth just for a day tour.

Unfortunately, i think my friends won`t be able for the whole travel. Most of, though.

Well, the places are now decided. Next step? The exactly sequence and duration in each place.
