Day 17 – Famous Sights

Activity 1

On your blog tell us which of the icons you would most like to visit in your chosen country. Be sure to tell us why you have chosen it!

I have already spoken of this before in my previous posts. As I said I would like to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle. This is because of a dream i’ve always had, being in a real life castle.

Activity 2

Let’s imagine that you have been asked to host a visitor from another country. They are going to come and stay with you for three days. During that time, you are expected to take them on a tour of New Zealand and show them some our most famous icons. Where would you take them? If it was me, I might take them to Mt Cook in the south island, to the Sky Tower in Auckland and to Chums Beach in the Coromandel. What about you? On your blog, tell us which three famous places in New Zealand you would go with your visitor.

I would start of the visit at the Sky tower. Admiring the city view from the sky tower and perhaps book an appointment for bungee jumping which would be spectacular.  Then I would take the visitors to the Redwoods tree walk. The Redwood tree walk is well known because some of the scenes in the movie Fantastic Beasts was shot in their redwoods forest. Perhaps we can go dragon hunting? ;). The last place i’de take my visitors to is Kelly Tarltons. The spectacular views of the sea creatures  ought to bring a smile to their faces.

Bonus Activity

Take a picture of yourself standing beside a popular place in your community. It can be anywhere that’s pretty popular in your area (e.g. a store, a restaurant, a marae, etc). On your blog please tell us about the landmark. What is the name of it? Where is it? Who goes to it?

I don’t have  a photo but here’s a photo of a place I want to visit.
