@SheevraSidhe0274: Oh definitely (autolighting makes the sky looked much more washed-out than it actually was in most of these), the real question is for how long: Subtropical climate at the junction of two water bodies means the weather will turn on a dime. As the friend advised me, Kiwis dress in layers because the temperature can jump all over the place throughout the day (allegedly—it seemed pretty stable while I was there).
