In New Zealand

[DanteX]

I was just in Wellington for the past few days. If I had known you lived in Levin, I would have paid you a visit.

Drove through Levin a few weeks ago when I went tramping in the Tararua range.



I haven't gotten to Parliament yet, I don't know what to do there, hah.



I just got back from a 9 day South Island road trip though and...wow. I love the South Island. Queenstown was awesome (did the Nevis bungy), and the Southern Alps are breathtaking, as is the Tasman.

 

[IcarusForde]

Oh, where did you go in the ranges?

And meh... Parliaments not that amazing.

 

[Kasynlie]

Oh, guttered... What part of NZ do you live in?

New Plymouth

 

[IcarusForde]

Oh, right.

It's a nice place up there, I've spent some holidays in the area, i like it.

 

[Kasynlie]

It's really good. Not too big and not too small. Has everything one needs.

 

[IcarusForde]

Indeed, likewise with Levin.

 

[DanteX]

Around Mt. Holdsworth but not up it.



So far though I've done Tongariro, Routeburn, a little in Able Tasman, and a tramp in Rotorua. Been some damn good exercise

 

[Nebulous]

Glad you are enjoying yourself. How long are you going to be there?

 

[DanteX]

Until the end of June, I think.



@Kiwis - I think it's time I order some Hell pizza right about now...

 

[IcarusForde]

Yes, good stuff right there.

If you get a chance to go down south a bit, have a look at the Routeburn track - it's really beautiful, but will be really, really cold this time of year.

Hells Pizza is great. The food mostly sucks over there imo, no where near as good as what is here in England & over in the US

Our food is just healthier over here. You are just used to eating crap food.

But definitely get Hell Pizza. It's the best of all the major pizza restaurants.

Your sausages sucks and everything else tastes weird.



I am however jealous that you have Mountain Dew over there

Our sausages are real sausages. Nothing over here is really 'factory farmed', unlike the UK.

 

[IcarusForde]

Exactly. The only reason our sausages taste different is because... Well, they are different.



There's real meat in them, not that proccessed offcut stuff that passes as meat in the UK/USA.



Take our sausage, and there's more meat in it than an entire package of sausages in the UK.



Our sausages ftw.

And yes, Mountain Dew is good. I might get some tomorrow.

 

[Crusader]

I have to pay £1.35 ($2.93 NZD) for a 500ml can of Mountain Dew from the American store in the market where I live. FML



It might be real meat, but it still doesn't taste as good to me

 

[IcarusForde]

I pay $1 NZD for a 400ml can.

It's awesome.

 

[Kasynlie]

New Zealand just wins completely!

 

[IcarusForde]

It does.

I was last there in 2007, I wish I was more into photography at the time. Especially when I went to that big lake that was a volcano
