Probably did all the touristy highlights. Hiked(?tramped) in Taupo so I could climb Mount Doom and throw the ring in, drove through the Shire, checked out some hot springs and falls somewhere around there I think, stayed in Napier--art deco town, spent some time in Picton hiking/camping/kayaking, climbed a glacier on the West coast near Greymouth I think, hung out in Queenstown a bit before spending a bunch of time in Fiordland National Park--hike/kayak/camp etc. Drank a bunch of Speight's.
Didn't spot a pinball machine anywhere but I wasn't looking. Did play several mini golf courses along the way.
Edit: if you go through Picton be sure to hit up Seumus' Irish Bar if you like a good Guinness.
Quoted from DDDwingmaster:the gannet colony and Te Mata peak near Napier are well worth a visit.
Forgot about that! Did that hike at low tide to check out the birds and the awesome cliffs along the way. That is a fun one.
