    From Matthew Munson@21:4/108 to All on Sun Nov 9 14:06:48 2025
    I am thinking about burning a crapload of Delta Sky Pesos so I can visit Auckland NZ. Is there enough stuff to do for 7 or 8 nights?

    February 17-25, so it would theoretically be mid-summer.

    There's plenty to see in NZ in general, but our cities are pretty average. If you plan on renting a car, you'll have plenty to go and see, there are lots of nice beaches nearby(ish) in the coromandel peninsula and elsewhere, lots of nice nature walks that you should be able to find with a bit of googling...

    But the cities are generally meh.

    It's not theoretical as NZ is quite below the equator.

    I hear the lakes and mountains are a pretty good sight.

    It's certainly popular with the TV/film industry.

    Wonder what the deal is there. Cheap rent? Weather? Views? The lamb?

    Why is all the lamb here from there?

    Weird.

    Having watched a show or two shot there over the years, I would say it is
    the beauty of the area and maybe sometimes the weather (although it looked
    like they got plenty of rain).

    They are, though be warned that large parts of Tongariro national park (which contains some of the aforementioned mountains in the form of mostly not active volcanoes) is closed due to recent bush fires :(

    There are plenty of other lakes and mountains to see especially down in the south island though.

    I don't know, I've heard some spectacular things happen with burning bushes. ;)

    Doesn't that usually call for a course of antibiotics? ;)
