New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea, and coastal drives are easy to work into a day. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, which flips the usual holiday calendar. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture.
