Category: New Zealand

I post all entries for visits anywhere in New Zealand in this category. Cities within New Zealand that I visit get their own subcategories.

This New Zealand category is itself a subcategory of the Australasia category.

I didn’t place any intermediate categories between the country and its cities (such as North Island and South Island), but if I go back to New Zealand and visit more cities/towns I might include those sub-national categories. If so, I don’t promise that I’ll remember to update this category description.
