    carole ~ Haven't been to Iceland (yet), but I'd have to agree that Zealanders are very friendly. Bobcat and loved our trip in 1987. Can't believe it's been so long....


    The Aussies were nice to us too, though one guy yelled "War Monger!" at Bobcat. We never really figured it out. Bobcat was wearing a Banana Republic t-shirt. Maybe the guy didn't know that was the name of a store.....

    Anyway ~Congrats to New Zealand!

    I watch house hunters international and they show New Zealand and it looks beatiful.

    I traveled to Europe in the 80's and lots of people in Italy were opinionated about american politics I bet that is where that comment came from Kuhio.

    A trip to New Zealand and Australia is high on my "bucket" list! I had an opportunity that I should have pounced on, but I let it get away. Maybe 10 years ago, the band from my college was going to Sydney, Australia as part of an international music festival. The director contacted me and a few other band alumni because they needed a few chaperones. It was an 18-day tour and I couldn't get that much time off work. I should have insisted. Stupid me.

    Congratulations, Carole and all your fellow Kiwis!

    If people in general down there are as nice as you are, no wonder you won!

    I'm not surprised Iceland made the top of the list, even the anti-military protesters were polite.

    Show up at 0800, protest from 0900-1200, lunch (frequently with the soldiers they were protesting against) from 1200-1330, protest some more from 1330-1600, then go home and come back in the morning.

    Lived in Iceland back in the early 80's. The natives were a bit standoffish back then. Haven't made it to the Southern Hemisphere yet, but I've always been interested in Australia and NZ.

    One advantage for you Kiwis in terms of keeping your country nice: a person has to really WANT to go there. Whoever said "you can't get there from here" had New Zealand in mind!

    The pictures that I've seen of New Zealand are awesome. Of course I'm also aware that the tourism industry puts forth only the best of the best. I'd still love to visit there, but unfortunately that will never happen. I'll just have to be content seeing all of the great pictures of that beautiful land so far away.

    We love the photos and films of New Zealand, the views are spectacular and of course, we know you are so nice! A friend of mine made the New Zealand newspaper many years ago when she and her boyfriend (now husband) were hiking in the mountains, and he slipped and was badly injured and needed rescue.
