Well, reading this thread put me in mind of an item in our local/national newspaper this morning:

An American couple: came to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup. looked up on the internet to find a hotel in Eastbourne (a pleasant little place on the opposite side of Wellington Harbour). Found it, booked it, travelled all those miles to be here.

Found that what they had in fact booked was a hotel in Eastbourne, UK. They had been charged quite a lot; in UK pounds for the privilege too.

When they went to the tourist information office in Eastbourne, NZ to find out where this hotel was located and the extent of their mistake became clear, the lady at the tourist office gave these lost strangers a bed for the night in her own house, fed them and looked after them until they could make other arrangements.

Bless them, Kiwis are the most caring hospitable people in the world and going the extra mile seems to be the national motto. No wonder I like living here...
