State the Obvious
GREAT:
Emirates (the airline) - good service (very pleasant cabin crew), good food, excellent in-flight entertainment, well priced, not likely to be bombed by islamic extremists.
View Hotels (in Australia) - the ParkView St Kilda, HarbourView Sydney and RiverView Brisbane are well priced, yet very nice quality and well located hotels in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Walking in the Kaimanawa forest - one the NZ's central north island forest parks. It is just stunning worth the trip (wherever you travel from!).
Triple JJJ - what a great radio station, non-commercial I think (well I didn't notice any ads!), great music, intelligent DJs! NZ is in dire need of a station like this.
UNKLE's Never Never Land - thanks to Triple JJJ I was introduced to UNKLE - these guys are good. Nice background ambient, triphop kinda sound.
Amazon - ordered the UNKLE cd and it arrives in NZ less than a week later for under NZ$20 (incl postage)!!! Brilliant.
GRATES:
Mitsubishi Magna remote boot/trunk release - useless!
Air New Zealand - crap, crap, crap / food, in-flight entertainment (i.e. seems like the crew have to manually activate it - and they forget sometimes!!!), seats, crew... rubbish.
Kingsgate Hotels in NZ - dire, especially the one at One Tree Hill! Ugh.
