Impressions of New Zealand

My first impression of New Zealand is that it's really laid back and has a village feel.  I have about 13 days here so I'll only get to see so much but the sights I've already seen have been amazing.  I've also met 2 Maori girls (indigenous peoples of New Zealand) already.  One thing about this place is most of the attractions are near water.  In some places, the water is a beautiful blue color, making the sights that much more incredible.  I love it so far.

Here are some pics that show what I'm talking about:
