I just happen to be on vacation (sorry, "on holiday") in NZ right now, and I just did an 8km hike or so on Urupukapuka Island, barefoot. And I found it amusing that the only thing I encountered that was the least bit painful was when walking on a manicured patch of lawn at my pickup spot - something growing under the grass was kind of stabby.
The lack of snakes and relative lack of nasty spiders did factor in to my decision to go barefoot, fwiw.
- sitharus 10y agoAh Onehunga weed, the bane of my childhood. Just develop thick callouses like the rest of NZ and you'll be fine. Just watch out for white tail spiders, those are nasty buggers. Only ones I'll squash.
- dzhiurgis 10y ago> Urupukapuka Island I've just went sailing two weeks ago up there. Just like the rest of New Zealand, it was gorgeous. The beauty of this country is impossible to describe. I don't think there is any better place in the world.
