Man... Even more amazing looking than Taupo is Lake Tekapo - here's a photo I took, NO editing, straight from the lens:

The water is actually that color, it's incredible.
 
When I was there in Taupo, there was a boat race on. I also had Hell Pizza for the first time there ;D Was funny, it was a holiday on holiday, since my uncle lives in Auckland, we all went for a week away down to Taupo



Lake Tekapo looks nice, but I still prefer Taupo.
 
You should take some images of Te Papa and the beehive as both are really interesting.



Dunedin also has some awesome views - moving there for my web career later on next year.
 
The Blue & Green lakes in Rotorua were cool. Although I hated the smell of that place, rotten eggs much?
 
Haha, it does smell a bit. Te Papa's actually pretty cool, I always enjoy it.

Also the Huka falls by that dam. Went on a boat trip up to the falls from the dam, even got to steer the boat, don't worry, I didn't crash it XD

Yes, Huka falls are fairly incredible.

-Edit- I thought you were talking about Hookah. I didnt realize it said falls'

Wow so much to respond to.



I went to Tekapo, it was really amazing.



Hell is awesome as well, just ordered it last night.



Let's see what else...oh yeah, L&P is the best soda ever.
 
Icarus - did you go up Mt. John at Tekapo?
 
No, I didn't get a chance to... I'm a bit guttered that I couldn't though, it looked really amazing.



Did you go into that old church on the shore of the lake? If you did, you should recognise the photo that I took - it's through the window of the church behind the alter. Even if the pastor sucked at speaking... You wouldn't fall asleep with a view like that.

Edit: And I agree, L&P is awesome. If you get a chance, try some Lift +.

Nah, I did not see the church. I've seen Lift around, gotta try it. Last night though I had Burgerfuel (while pissed, of course) and it was unbelievable. That place is just fucking great. Way better than the overrated Furgerburger in Queenstown (dunno if you've been).
 
IcarusForde said:
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.

Oh and yeah, I just did the Routeburn last week

Did it in two days. Frickin' amazing.

Yes! Burger Fuel is EPIC.

Another awesome burger place is Burger Wisconsin - they make amazing, amazing burgers. <3



But yeah, I ain't been to FurgerBurger....

It's a beautiful track. We did it in two days as well, it's just stunning when there's a bit of snow around too.
