for sure, we all see the world differently.

It's interesting that not many have said the same place.

I think I was really coming from the perspective of if it's a troublesome area, not so much whether you like it or not, for example, when I was last in New York (very many years ago) it was well known not to go into the Bronx area as that would surely be trouble.

From the replies so far it does seem to be more a matter of opinion about the area and not so much the area itself, which is interesting.

Except there does seem to be consensus that Porirua aint a great place

OH firm had the contract to errect the new Mitre 10 in Nelson last year, and he had to stay up there, so by default my daughter and I got to have a couple of nice long weekends up there. We are going up for a few days after xmas this year, loved Kaiteriteri (though not technically Nelson) and the able tasman park

everyone has their own opinions...personally I think it depends on your preferences..ie are you a towny or a villager?? we are still making our minds up...currently in Dunedin.

and going to carry on touring for a while before making up our minds, plus a few days here and there will not give you a full picture of the places, you have to spend a bit longer to get a feel to a place....for instance It was freezing in Sumner but its warm in Dunedin at present....also seems a bit deserted for a uni town...but then again maybe they all went home for the weekend...Ha ha

Why not Upper Hutt or Upper Hutt valley ?

Kat - now I'm confused !!!! I thought you were going to be in Sumner for a month or so at the rental? Dunedin? Have you decided Sumner wasn't for your or what?

Hope you're enjoying the trip anyway - keep us posted.
