10 days in NZ - starting and finishing in Auckland

For me, they rate up there with most (not all) museums. 5mins and I've done my dash.

TRADE SHOWS? WEDDING EXPOS?

on holiday? In a different country?

wow. How bored would you have to be?

I think that suggestion encapsulates perfectly what a tedious dump Auckland is.

Furthermore; if someone is heading out-of-town (Be it up the Coromandel, Bay of Islands or anywhere else), why waste time on One-Tree-Hill or Cornwall Park??
