North Islands in New Zealand play magic on the human eye as the landscape changes every few miles to reveal snowy Alps, farm lands, grazing pastures and beautiful fauna.

This destination has delightful activities for skiers, mountain bikers and children and adults alike. The Lord of the Rings tour takes tourists into the heart of Middle Earth, Hobbiton woods and their tiny dwellings.

The Waitomo caves in contrast display mud pools and lime stone formations and hordes of glowworms by sunset that light up the caves in the most natural way.

The Bay of Islands speaks of Maori history and culture right through the time they first set foot on New Zealand to present day.

Many who visit New Zealand often end up for days of pampering at the Rotorua Health Spa, while Golfers make the most of their holiday on some of the most vivid golf courses along the ocean.

Kazan the Islamic capital of Russia is a destination of immense beauty and architectural wonders. It was the strong hold of the Tartars for centuries until Ivan the Terrible conquered the city and sought the hand of the beautiful Soyembika.

The tower still standing within the Kremlin Walls has witnessed the suicide of Soyembika to flee the hands of her admirer Ivan. The Kul Shari was constructed to mark the thousandth anniversary of the state and is one of the most magnificent mosques this side of the world.

Kazan as a tourist destination has a number of museums, theatres, parks, cruises, nightclubs and places of religious interest to hold the interest of sightseers. Kazan retains the art of fine dining that is a rich part of the Russian history and culture and has some of the best regional cuisines on offer in many of its many tastefully done up restaurants.
