Been away for about 10 days: travelled to Auckland & then went down the west coast. Some impressions.
New Zealand is quite beautiful. Wellington is so nauseatingly politically correct that they are still selling “I love Helen badges”.
You can get sunburnt surfing on a cloudy day, when it is raining. Being sunburnt is awful.
Hotels are as cheap as motels, but motels have more room. When you are travelling with teenage boys, you need room.
You can keep a teenage boy away from electronics for about 72hours then he will go into withdrawal.
