You'd think an otherwise advanced nation like New Zealand would be able to make a single, straight motorway between its capital and its by far biggest city, but no. In some areas you're looking at a four lane motorway, just as nature and nature's God intended.
In other areas you're going through three traffic circles in a row, or navigating the centre of some bumfuck little town, or you're stuck in traffic in a larger city. The road twists and turns and takes off from the straight "main road" several times.
How the kiwis stand for this, I do not know. I was ready to climb a church tower with an AK-47 several times, but as it were I had to settle for cursing out other drivers from the safety of my seat, while putting the pedal to the metal wherever I could. (Note to the NZ police: this sentence is for entertainment purpose only, and should not in any way be construed to make a civil case against me or deport me to Stewart Island or whatever your version of Gitmo may be.)
Not the ocean, but a huge lake called Lake Taupo. It is bigger than anything you'll find in Australia.
Looks a bit like Rohan, doesn't it? Some natural park right next to a military shooting range. Der be snow on dem dar mountain tops.
