PUBS galore
Pubs with Personality
by Peter Janssen & Steve Reid
The subtitle is "A Personal Selection of over 150 of New Zealand's Best Pubs."
What a great way to see New Zealand: buy this book and make it a mission to visit every single one of the 150 pubs mentioned and see if you can add another 150 of your own.
It will take you to every corner of the country and offer you some lovely places to eat, drink and stay. The authors have separated the brilliant from the boring, the outstanding from the the ordinary, and the magic from the mundane to save you time.
There is information on how to find the pub, its food & pricing, a bit of its history, and some indication of the ambience and accommodation. This could work as a travel guide in its own right. Whether you are visiting New Zealand from abroad or you live here, this is a vital and fun accessory for your journey.
