Favourite Kiwi place

Would have to be the South, Wanaka/Queenstown/Milford. It's all there, in the Big Country!
On Bottom Bus: Curio Bay, Dolphins, Penguins, Fossil Forrest, chilled atmosphere (especially in winter).

Favourite Kiwi activity

Bottom Bus, of course! 4 days of fun in the Deep South.
Bungy Jumping's pretty cool as well.

Favourite Kiwi moment

Leaving Auckland, It's all in front of you!.
On Bottom Bus: Hitting the Catlins on a hot summer's day, it goes off.
People's reaction, when they come face to face with a 500 kg Sea Lion, outstanding!

Most embarrassing Kiwi moment

On my 1st trip, turning down a dead end street (by mistake), with bus load of people. Holding up the traffic as it took 10 mins to back out.
