Elizabeth - absolutely! Visiting England taught me so much and made so much apparent that I'd skimmed over in various books and programmes about the place.
NZ is much the same size as the UK but so stretched out in comparison, and with so much less detail and human-made history. To see a piece of Roman wall in the middle of a city, still with its parapet where the soldiers walked, to walk throught the ruins of an abbey dating from 12thC, and sacked by Henry VIII's soldiers, Viking villages, the White Horse on the downs... I guess its sometimes hard for the 'natives' to appreciate what is on their doorsteps.
