Hundertwasser was an Austrian architect that was so well identified in Vienna that he determined to go out to New Zealand exactly where he experienced the guarantee of a additional nameless daily life. He lived listed here in his later many years up until the position that he died although out at sea on a cruise ship in 2000.
Paihia, recognized as the gateway to the Bayo Of Islands is a stunning town also dubbed as part of the winterless north, exactly where it is actually doable to expertise sub tropical temperatures and very gentle winters, this is a important attraction for those of us in the South Island looking for a getaway.
Right here 1 could possibly check out and even a cruise on the outdated tall ship.
