Things that surprise Kiwis returning to NZ

Lorna Thornber Reporter from Stuff Travel

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a travel story for Stuff about the things that have surprised returning Kiwis about New Zealand. If you have recently returned from overseas or know someone who has, it would be great to hear about the things that have stood out for you, for better or for worse. Whether it's to do with the weather, the cost of things, the public transport, the food, the housing, the people or something else entirely, we'd be keen to hear about it. Please remember that your comment may be included in the article, unless you say you don't want it to be. Thank you.

Hīkoi to parliament

The Team from Wellington District Police

Traffic heading into Wellington City has eased, however motorists should continue to expect significant delays in the city.

Hīkoi mō te Tiriti has reached Waitangi Park, with Police reporting no issues from this morning’s movements.

Another group of about 2000 people from the Hutt Valley began arriving at the Wellington Railway Station at around 8:30am.

The hīkoi is expected to begin their walk to Parliament along the Golden Mile (Courtenay Place, Manners Street, Willis Street and Lambton Quay) at 9am.
