There is nothing wrong with a surcharge. Back in the day everything closed, even on sundays other than perhaps a handful of petrol stations. So dont complain too loudly. My grandparents once visited NZ many years ago and arrived on a Sunday and said “we visited New Zealand, it was closed”.

Bah, I’m fine with places surcharging on public holidays. Maybe they should all have to shut, yea, that’ll teach you all.

am amazed that places that want to be open on public holidays (when people are more likely to be out and about and buying at cafes) don’t spread the costs of being open over all their opening days, rather than ripping off people on one day.

Sounds like an awesome weekend and not terribly different to mine 🙂

We loved the Te Papa drawing exhibition (if a little pricey).

And I agree with you on the 15% surcharge – sucks. Be aware that some places go as high as 25%!!
