· It is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever visited.
· The people are so kind and friendly. They also seemed to be very relaxed about everything.
· I had my best hiking trip EVER!!!! The reason for this is that it was a combo of a lot of great things: the nature, the weather, the group and last but not least the tour leaders. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I enjoyed every minute – even when we were stuck in the snow.
· There is nothing in the world I enjoy doing more than hiking. That is the one thing that makes me the most happy and New Zealand is filled with hiking trails. (The call it tramping, not hiking, in New Zealand - I find that cute). I just have to love such a place.
But I have also some observations about New Zealand:
· They are a bit “behind” when it comes to internet. It is slow and you still have to pay for amount of data. And they think that 20 MB is a lot??!!! Come on – that takes me 15 minutes to use that. ;-)
· All the public bathrooms are freezing cold. They really don’t want you to hover too long in the bathroom.
· It is common to have one hot and one cold water tap to the zink in the bathroom. Hey – we hadn’t had that in Sweden for like 30 years??!!! It just annoying when you can’t water in the right temperature.
· They don’t use salt on their roads. I get that is not good for the cars, but now they have to close the roads as soon as there is snow or ice. That affects the business everywhere. I think someone should look at the business case for that.
Anyhow – I’m extremely happy with my New Zealand stop and I hope that I can keep in touch with my friends from this trip and have the possibility to come back one day.
