Overview: Mature Flaneur in New Zealand: Slow Travels in the Land of the Kiwi by author Tim Ward is a humorous, meandering prose of a journey through the many hidden wonders of the other down under!

Verdict: A humorous, meandering journey through the many wonders of New Zealand in ninety days. Flâneur is French for one who wanders, and in this sequel to Mature Flâneur: Slow Travels through Portugal, France, Italy and Norway, author Tim Ward and Teresa (his intrepid spouse), travel the length and breadth of New Zealand in an electric vehicle, exploring wilderness and wildlife, mountains and beaches, architecture and culture, geological and biological oddities, and the challenging dynamic of the nation’s two peoples.

Having just finished reading this most enthralling of venturing books, I can most definitely attest to the fact that Tim has a keen eye for detail and an adventurous spirit that brings every nook and cranny of his trek through New Zealand to vivid life for the reader to enjoy alongside him.

For if you have not visited the sixth-largest island country by area and lies east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and south of the islands of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga, this book should be just the ticket to get you inspired enough to book a trip there soon!

Matter of factly, New Zealand (Aotearoa in Maori) is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean and aside from all that you may have seen in documentaries, movies and TV shows, what Ward does here in his individually delightful way is bring forth not just obvious sightseeing forays, but moreover educates us with historical knowledge and cultural insights galore, all wrapped up snuggly within a most enrapturing narrative prose.

Tim is alive and alert to every thought and sensation sparked by his travels here in New Zealand and as much as there are also pockets of spiritualism veined within his storytelling, it’s the way he buffers these moments with a curiously entertaining, at times impressionable childlike sense of wonderment about all he is surveying that makes this book his; and now ours.
