Okay that was a bit extreme and I was drunk at the time. But the domestic beers here sure do put ours to shame.Yeah, sorta

FYI the West Coast will take your exceptionally strong swimming, surfing and life guarding experience and drown you.I'm an exceptionally strong swimmer, a surfer, and a lifeguard so rough seas don't bother me.
I've been hanging out at Andrew Andrew at Viaduct basin the past few nights. How have you guys been hiding all this amazing beer from the rest of the world for so long?!?? Drinking an Epic Armegeddon IPA and I've been drinking Steinlager Pure and All Blacks all week!

Seriously!! I had 4 or 5 knives in my bag that I was a little worried about but they didn't even look at them! But when I took out my boots caked in NC red clay they flipped isht and basically scolded me for trying to bring muddy shoes into the country like it was common knowledge.So jealous. Can't wait to go back.
FWIW, my wife and I got the rubber glove on our hiking boots as well. We had bought new boots and worn them in for about a week, never even out hiking. I felt like I could have had a bomb strapped to my chest and they still would have been grilling me about my boots.
It is if you're from NZ or Australia! I feel sorry for the people I see in customs sometimes, you know they've made an innocent mistake but now they're gonna be there for ages and/or cop a big fine.like it was common knowledge.
EDC knife, backup pocket knife, survival knife, mulitool, and one that got in my bag by accident. I didn't know I had it until I saw it on the x-ray machine.Say what now?
Welcome to the rest of NZ. Auckland is often considered (by yokels south of the Bombay Hills) the bumhole of the country.It's wayyyy more remote than I expected.
That's not what I was referring to. This town doesn't even have an effing ATM and I was not warned! My american debit card only works at ATMs here and my AmEx works occasionally, but only big chain stores accept AmEx. I had $100 backup cash stashed for emergencies, so I'm alright for a few days, but I definitely learned my lesson.Welcome to the rest of NZ.

Were you expecting dangerous locals/wildlife? You know the most dangerous thing in NZ is a fairly rare spider that you'll probably never see?
Rotorua has always been and will probably remain, a complete **** hole. I only go there for the riding. If you're inclined, get a car and drive 20 minutes to Lake Tarawera or Okareka. Not much to see but purtyness.It seems like the kind of place that got over hyped as a resort town in the 90's, people started building all over the place and now it's a ghost town. Happened to a lot of little towns in America too. I haven't seen anything about the trails, I guess I'll have to ask at one of the 50 bike shops in town. I think I'm just going to chill out at the hot springs this weekend. I may have pulled or broken something in my foot avoiding a car on my longboard in Auckland the other day. Hurts like a b!txh but it's still useable but I'm going to rest it a day or two anyway.
So are the trails lift/shuttle access or will I actually have to pedal uphill? And where the fvck are they? All I've seen so far are crappy tourist traps.
rotorua not too bad, you just need to look past the Asian tourist traps and know where to go and what to dooSo are the trails lift/shuttle access or will I actually have to pedal uphill? And where the fvck are they? All I've seen so far are crappy tourist traps.
My kiwi buddy taught us that Auckland was a bumhole and its residents tossers.Kia Ora Bro! Air NZ rocks, aye?
Don't forget Rotorua! Dude... seriously DON'T FORGET ROTORUA!
Central Auckland isn't representative of the rest of NZ (and we're all migrants here any way), though there's some awesome Dum Sum restaurants downtown. Cracker day in Auckland today.
Yep, that's pretty much right.My kiwi buddy taught us that Auckland was a bumhole and its residents tossers.
