On your blog, tell us what time of year you think is best for tourists to come and visit. Be sure to share at least three things that tourists could do while they were here in NZ.

I think the best time for tourists to visit is when it is spring. The reason why is because that's when all the flowers are beautiful and they bloom. 1. The tourists can look at the flowers blooming and explore peoples amazing gardens. 2. The tourists can taste the delicious food that NZ has. 3. The tourists can visit the schools in NZ especially St Pius X.
