uh, oh, I was on vacation again

It seems destiny really can't be avoided.

Since nobody is trying to guess, I'll just spill it:

Wellington, NZ.

Good heavens, what were you doing all the way down here?

 

(Getting rained on, probably. )

[lynx]

Getting disappointed. Nah, it wasn't really that bad, but definitely not sick as.

 

Good enough for an ad-hoc style vacation though. Rain and snow only disabled a few harder hikes, nothing that dramatic (it's clear why you call it tramping though). It would've been better if I hadn't trained in the best ranger/druid school and if I was less well traveled, but you are what you are. There was too much environmental bipolarity all around me to not give me pause.

On behalf of my country I abase myself for disappointing you... Where's your favourite spot?

As far as populated areas go, quirky little Oamaru. As for the opposite, Nelson lakes NP. In summer, the area around Wanaka would likely win over (trading Mount Hopeless for M. Aspiring ).
