After our eye-opening stay at the pig farm we headed south towards NZ's capital, Wellington. On the way we stopped to take in some of the country's quirkier attractions. These included:
- Fishing for prawns and having our fingers nibbled by their offspring at the Huka Prawn Park
- Climbing a giant kiwi fruit
- Visiting the road sign bearing the longest place name in the world
- Marvelling at the giant corrugated iron sculptures in Tirau, the town of giant corrugated iron sculptures
- Witnessing exploding mud, steaming pavements and crazily coloured rock pools around Rotorua
- Enjoying a Big Mac inside the McDonalds aeroplane in Taupo
- Taking a tour of the art deco neighbourhood in Napier and staying in the equally deco Masonic hotel
- Sampling the wines made at The Mission Estate - a former seminary
- Being disturbed by the macabre dioramas of singing and dancing stuffed possums at Opossum World.
