The longest place name in the world.
Located on the far and very remote eastern shores of North Island, New Zealand. Land of sheep, more sheep, one very rough bar and absolutely no mobile phone signal of any kind.
Don’t ask us to pronounce it, we cannot. But if it helps you pronounce wh as “ff” and it sounds naughty near the start if you say it right.
Tonight we will be stopping at the Chapelwick B&B in Parangahou, where I was looking forward to eating the little tub of Pringles I bought, only to find that Mr Fogg ate them 3 days ago and put back the empty pot. Guess who’s running to Wellington?
The longest place name is 5km from here.
