Old Faithful erupting.

The downside to seeing it in the winter is that the steam condenses so rapidly in the cold, you don't always see the water spraying around. On the other hand, the steam spraying up into the air was pretty good, and, unlike in the summer, there were maybe 5 other people watching.

Really too cold for me as well, woke up one morning in Gardiner and it was 17 below F.

But still, it was beautiful in the winter, and didn't resemble rush hour in a big city at all, which, to me, would have ruined it,

A small piece of heaven maybe. Pic is more of the same place.

Sadly, the thing with NZ is that - through importing invasive European species and establishing immense grazing grounds for sheep - while it has amazing scenery, it is almost completely devoid of animal life. Beautiful, but equally barren in a way.

Luckily, there's areas that are less affected because they're so remote and sparsely populated, namely the Southern Alps and the West coast of the South Island.

well, we didn't really have any animals to begin with. Most (all??) mammals were introduced. Before the Europeans came it was mostly native birds and insects.

>>936170
You had two or three species of bats for mammals, one of which has gone extinct by now. Any other mammal has been introduced.

It was mostly the lack of almost absolutely anything but sandflies and birds I can find in my own backyard that unnerved me. And often the lack of absolutely any wildlife or biodiversity. I've seriously seen more species of butterflies in my own garden in a single day than during the whole six weeks I spent all over NZ. I loved my stay there, but your country is probably the biggest ecological disaster I've seen.

But on that note, you guys should all visit adriftanywhere.com and welltraveledmile.com

These are run by my gf's two good friends. But they saved us literally thousands of dollars on our trip to Italy: free plane tickets and practically free 4+ star hotel stays (and kept us out of hostels). (Tickets would have been about $900 each, but we paid $100 each. Hostels total would have been around $700. These sites helped us find a deal that allowed us to book $1400 of hotel stays for $120. And we haven't met a shit hotel yet!)
