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 would mostly like to visit the Niagara Falls in Canada because it is the largest waterfall in the world and it would be amazing to watch the waterfall.
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.
1. The Sky Tower
2. Whangapoua in Coromandel
3. Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown down in the South island
