Has anyone been to New Zealand? |
Travel Info Me and my family are going in the August hols for 3 weeks and i'm not sure what clothes to take! Will it be really cold or shall we just take lots of jumpers?? We are travelling round both islands and stopping in different places (no accomodation booked yet). My husband wants to go and live there, how many points do you need to get into the country, whats the easiest way of starting the ball rolling?? Travel Tips i spent three years there. augest is pretty much the coldest time of the year. from jumpers in the north to a couple foot of snow in the alps on the south island. and just about everything in between. as for immigration the best place to go is www.immigration.govt.nz is the website you have to apply to and they have the best information. be wary however, wages are lower in most professions than they are in europe and even though the cost of living is cheaper sometimes it can be hard to make a comfortable living there. click on my profile, then my link to my 360 page and you can contact me directly there and i'll give you all the info i can. Others I spent 5 months over there, but unfortunately for you, they are now coming into their Autumn. Youll need a couple of sweaters etc, as it wont be that warm, but the country is a real joy, you'll love it. Enjoy!! I have been there, when I went it was March so still summer. It'll be winter when you go so it will be colder on the South Island. It won't be so bad on the North Island but still not warm. To look at moving there you need to visit the New Zealand Immigration website (www.immigration.govt.nz) and do a points calculation on there, that will tell you how many points you have got and how many you need to apply for residency. It is quite cold in August as it is New Zealand's winter. Make sure you visit Milford Sound. It is a long journey from Queenstown but well worth it. Geez you would pick the coldest month to come here...Im a kiwi...and at the moment its heading out of summer and starting winter we have a lot of rain here during this period I would suggest Jackets jerseys even gloves...with good all round covered in shoes. The best month to visit is SUMMER by far! Hi there....I am assuming form the jumper comment you are from the uk. Its cold...like uk cold at times, but buildings are not as well heated here (and hence you feel colder at times)! A nice warm jacket is useful (polarfleece etc should be ok)...but it probably doens't rain as much as in the uk winters (its more of a bitter, frosty cold here). Thick socks may also be helpful as I think the nights here are colder than the UK. For info on immigrating/travelling try these websites. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/... http://www.nzembassy.com/topic.cfm?cfid=... http://www.govt.nz/record?tid=1&treeid=1... http://www.newzealand.com/travel/... |
