Off to New Zealand on Sunday...

Post by Fadingtoblack »

Wellington specifically....


Soooooo what's your best beer to stock my hotel with? Image


Ok so that's the important one out of the way, but I'd be interested in any information people have: What foods to try, places to go, things to see, you know...

I'm there for a fortnight thanks to work Image


Also I apparently have to track down some awesome chocolate you can only get in NZ....any ideas? It's for a good cause! ;)

I dunno if you can get it in Australia too, but when I was in Auckland and northern NZ, I found these chocolate bars with a kiwi filling that were friggen amazing.
Bleed the day.

I drank steinlager pure while I was there! Not bad... Weird you can't buy slabs there though...they only came in 12's.

Also apparently stubby holders don't exist outside of OZ, shattered I forgot mine...


Also...parma's also don't exist outside of OZ, so now counter meals for me!


As for the chocolate, turned out to be a brand of Cadbury's they don't make or sell here, hopefully it pays off :)
