Loving this tour!

Trust me, Wellington needs only one 600ft tall and another 700ft tall to form the perfect skyline.

It's easy.

Awesome pics! Aukland in particular looks appealing to me, it has a fairly distinct look to it and great setting.

me, too. as a native cheesehead, I was unaware of Wisconsin's elevated status in the hamburger world:

Quote:

While we’re very proud to be a NZ owned and operated chain, leading the way for delicious healthy food in the burger market, we pay tribute to the history of great burgers through our name Burger Wisconsin, which reflects Wisconsin, USA’s title ‘Home of the Hamburger’.
