Food mostly, was expensive. But everything in general was pricey, too. You guys have an included 13% tax, but it was mostly the dollar's exchange rate that made it seem expensive. When we got to Auckland (which i'll have to say is alot more expensive than the rest of the country), there were things like sandwiches for like 15 NZ$, which translated to US$ is still like over $10. Maybe im just spoiled by NYC food, but it seemed expensive.
And we tried to stay off the beaten path, and even in the smallest towns, there's tourist info places and, well, tourists. Which i dont mind, just seemed like NZ really milks its nature for every little cent.
Don't get me wrong though, it's an amazing place all in all,
