i'm off to nz in janurary. it's my 2nd trip out of australia & at 1st i couldn't hold my excitement but now i managed to curb it. nz is a major tourist destination for many aussies & i am happy to be 1 of them to exprience this island not far off the coast of australia

i don't need to take much cash as the meals & trips have been paid for already. but the 2 currencies between these 2 countries the australia dollar (AUD) & the new zealand dollar (NZD)

1 AUD = 1.16 NZD
1 NZD = 0.85 AUD

one stage i did a conversion of 350 AUD to NZD i would get approx 400 NZD now i'll only get 395 NZD as the exchange rate has dipped signifantly currently at 1.12 so now i'll probalby have to take 400 AUD which should get me about 450 NZD depending on when i convert but not much will change between the 2 currencies as they only only a few cents weaker between them

i leave on the 18/1/08 & return on the 25/1/08. once i get photos i'll upload them for everyone to see[/img]

Haha you might see me too. I hope you like NZ. So are you going to the North Island or the South Island?
