Yes, I am in New Zealand, and yes I did love it, but no I will never utter the words 'sweet as' call people bro and refer to things as 'choice'. With breathtaking beauty, laid back bars and food to die for (eggs benedict every day) this is the country with everything you could want for a holiday. However as long as you forgive the South African/Aussie/80's Surfer accent it is quite a perfect country full of dub loving outdoor enthusiasts.
As we near the end of our New Zealand time slot (we fly in a few hours) and cram in the last 'fush and chups' and eggs done every way I can proudly say I've seen the length and breadth of the country, from the black beaches of Raglan to the icy winds of Milford sound. I've hiked, fished (to no success) skydived and eaten my way through a whole country made up of small towns and ex-pats and backpackers, with the coolness brught by the Maori culture. Yes we will be sad to leave but as the daytime temperatures herein CHristchurch limp to a pitiful 7 degress by midday we leave for a land with places called 'Sunshine Coast' and 'The Gold Coast' and dream of days where we can wear the many pairs of havianas we brought in Brazil.
Viva Australia!
