(He's 21+ now)We just arrived in Te-Anau.  Drove to Manapouri. Beautiful weather. Water temperature very nice for a swim.Never been here in a summer. The best time is early spring for the South Island.Will travel early tomorrow to Milford Sound. Have a cruise booked at 10.30 AM from there.<hr />I returned here after about 6 - 7 years. The grocery prices have gone up... only the Supermarket has changed name to CountDown  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite18" alt=":ROFLMAO:" title="ROFL    :ROFLMAO:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":ROFLMAO:" />Even the car rental prices are up.  I booked a RAV4 but they gave me a Mazda CX-5 (only done about 25K) at a total cost of 1250 NZD with zero excess (my son drives now) for full six days in Quenstown and returning in Christchurch.I have been renting from Apex for more than 15 years now but the prices were never this higher. Also it's a bad time (Christmas break)<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" />------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1671952027[/DATETIME]</blockquote>
