DAY 1: A Heated Debate
Activity 1: Togs or Trackies? [4 points]
New Zealand is a pretty lovely place to live, isn’t it? Apparently, New Zealand (NZ) is also a pretty lovely place to visit. In 2017 approximately 2-3 million people came to visit NZ as tourists. Some of them chose to come in the middle of our summer, while others braved it and came in the middle of winter! When do you think is the best time of year (season) to visit NZ?
If you would like some help making a decision, feel free to read the Go New Zealand website. It has lots of information about the seasons in NZ!
I, personally, encourage my friends and family from overseas to come and visit NZ in early spring. The weather is usually warm and dry and the tourist attractions, beaches and holiday spots are less busy than they are in the middle of summer.
On your blog, tell us what time of year you think is best for tourists to come and visit. Be sure to share at least three things that tourists could do while they were here in NZ.
Spring would be a good time to visit because Spring is both warm and a cold season. Summer is a hot season and Winter is a cold season. Spring is a good time to go.

Hi Tyra,
It's Leslie here, one of the Summer Learning Journey team members. I agree that spring would be a lovely time to visit New Zealand, not too hot and not too cold or wet, hopefully.
Also, I think it would be lovely to arrive in time see all the new flowers popping up out of the earth as the temperature gets higher and higher and the winter ends. I suppose the change would be most noticeable in the South Island where it's much colder in the winter than in Auckland.
Have you travelled around your beautiful country to see both the north and south islands? I live in Canada but many years ago I had a chance to fly to Dunedin to visit a friend and I thought it was just stunningly lovely. I'm coming to New Zealand again in a month so I'm looking forward to seeing more of the many beautiful places that can be found around Auckland.
One of the things that this activity asks you to do is to list things that tourists might want to do when they visit New Zealand. I notice that you haven't given that little list. You could still add it your blog, if you wish. I suggest you read the instructions over twice, when you've decided to do an activity. Then you'll be all set to thoroughly complete the task.
I'm looking forward to reading more of your postings!
Cheers,
Leslie
