@BeebsyMcA Back to New Zealand, but new places would be Canada, Japan, Australia, and Italy (I was there on a school trip and really need to visit again).
@shezza_t @BeebsyMcA I would go to New Zealand as well. Have been 3 times but only once as an adult, so I feel like I’ve a lot of places yet to see.
@mo I’ve been twice as an adult and still feel like I’ve loads of places to see :)
There’s loads of European cities I’d love to see too. Maybe some day we’ll do that big train trip OpGeek talks about. @BeebsyMcA
@shezza_t @BeebsyMcA I think we should compare notes on New Zealand some time. I’ve been to Hawkes Bay a fair bit (I have relatives in Hastings) and a few trips to Taupo/Rotorua.
But my wife and I spent over 3 weeks there for our honeymoon in 2007, and we drove from Auckland to Queenstown and up to Christchurch. Was quite the journey but worth every second!
@mo @shezza_t @BeebsyMcA That Crown Range Road into Queenstown is one of the few roads I've been genuinely scared on.
@OpinionatedGeek @shezza_t @BeebsyMcA I’m not sure I was on that road, but there were definitely some hairy experiences driving down the west coast. I might have practiced handbrake turns a few times…
@mo @shezza_t @BeebsyMcA I love it that they call it the Wet Coast!
@mo @shezza_t @BeebsyMcA It's high. It's twisty. And you are driving feet away from a straight hundred-for drop. https://www.newzealand.com/int/feature/the-crown-range/
And then you get to Queenstown and can reward yourself with a trip to the automatic wine dispensers.
