Nice photos, although it's hard for me not to take them for granted.

#11 is near me.

Oh they actually mention my home town (Dunedin) a fair bit. Awesome

If you stuck a gun to my head, handed me two free plane tickets, and told me I could go anywhere I want, I'd probably go there.

What kind of freaky airline do you have in your country.

I'd probably do the same, but I'd rather do it without the gun to my head, thank you very much.

^^^I've been to Dunedin! Spent a night there right down on the Octagon. Adore the railway station! Here's a pic of me there in 2002.

I've visited New Zealand twice, back during the time when my parents lived out there. Both times were spent on North Island. On the first visit we stayed mostly in Auckland and also spent time up in the Bay of Islands, Rotorua and Lake Taupo. On the second visit I stayed in Whakatane, in the Bay of Plenty, and visited both Whakaari (White Island) and Moutohora (Whale) Island, while also popping into Auckland on occasion (mostly to watch Team New Zealand lose the America's Cup to Alinghi).

I think that will be our next big vacation in a year or two. There's a good shot we'll be living on the west coast by then, making the travel time a little less onerous.

NZ is somewhere I'd love to visit. The scenery looks awesome, and the cities all seem interesting.

^ You live in Canada; you have a great country anyway!

^ Not arguing, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see New Zealand, too!
