conversations.value: The Rough Guide to New Zealand
  We've gone to a lot of effort to ensure that the ninth edition of **** is accurate and up-to-date. However, things change – places get "discovered", opening hours are notoriously fickle, restaurants and rooms raise prices or lower standards. If you feel we've got it wrong or left something out, we'd like to know, and if you can remember the address, the price, the hours, the phone number, so much the better.
  Please send your comments with the subject line " **Rough Guide New Zealand Update** " to  mail@uk.roughguides.com. We'll credit all contributions and send a copy of the next edition (or any other Rough Guide if you prefer) for the very best emails.

  Joanna James started her career as a commodity broker in London before a dislike of commuting and a chronic case of wanderlust intervened. She escaped to Asia and worked in a series of very odd jobs – one of which included inspecting Chinese pig farms for a UN agency – before settling into life as an itinerant writer and photographer. When she's not somewhere else, Jo lives on a small island in Hong Kong with her husband, and has contributed to the Rough Guides to China, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei, and New Zealand. Follow her travels at  little-yak.com.
  Alison Mudd studied Classics at Cambridge before deciding to spend less time in libraries and more time exploring. She fell in love with New Zealand on her first visit (with the Rough Guide) and served an informal seven-year apprenticeship, covering photography, app production and article-writing, before updating this edition. When she's not writing, she's travelling (usually in America, Africa and Europe), ideally by kayak or on foot.
