Last Day in New Zealand


Queenstown Hike - waterfall, originally uploaded by jasonwmak.

Today is the last day in New Zealand. We had such a great time and I finally fulfilled a 5 year dream to come to this wonderful country. I hope I will return very soon. We will be going to Australia for 12 days next. Some thoughts about New Zealand.

- the people here are genuinely very friendly...even bus drivers and gas station attendants
- once you get used to driving on the other side of the road, it's very driveable
- yes you will encounter scenery and landscapes that look like Lord of the Rings
- hiking and camping is so fun!
- old people and travellers stay at hostels, not just young college grads
- we need to start being even more "green" at home, people here genuinely care about being green
- work to live? or live to work?

- Kiwi rugby is intense and looks more demanding than American football

- the beer here is good, as are the kebabs
