Beautiful pictures again, as always. Now I am totally 100% sure I want to go to New Zealand.

I have no idea why, but that sounds about the same price-wise for a paperback there. Greeting cards were about double what you would pay in the US, even though they were Halmark stores identical to the US. It was really weird.
