Get out of Auckland

Most Kiwis don't think Aucklamd is part of New Zealand, so get out! rent a car every weekend you can. Go to the west coast! Or north and see the first sunrise in the world, or go to the south and hike everything.

Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, and except for Wellington or Christchurch, everything else is rural. ITs beautiful and the people are super friendly (though not very open to becoming new friends).
