Today in my news feed I read this article and the journalist states Geneva is the
capital of Switzerland. Geneva is not the capital of Switzerland! So, here is a new
edition of Quick Clips.
Kia Ora and welcome to Quick Clips.

say hi on social media: Twitter or Instagram. In my four decades of life I
had a chance to travel in some really cool locations, but nothing compares to
Switzerland and New Zealand. Here are geographical curiosities between
Switzerland and New Zealand, that you have to know if you visit one of these
countries. In the pre-credits section I've talked about Geneva. Geneva is the "Frenchiest"
city in Switzerland, but a must-see if you are over there. Geneva Lake is the
largest lake in Switzerland and shared with France. Did you know that Lake
Geneva was one of the biggest training place for Alinghi to be able to beat
New Zealand in the America's Cup. If you like lakes and you come to New Zealand
then don't forget to go and see Lake Taupo. Lake Taupo is actually the caldera
of Taupo Volcano and it is the largest lake in New Zealand. I had the chance to
see it pretty pretty close in 2009, when I went and decided to bungy jump in it.
The Scream is pretty spectacular.
to note that the Lake Taupo is the second largest
lake in Oceania, being second only to Lake Murray in Papua New Guinea. Flowing
through Lake Taupo, the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand.
425 kilometres. One of my favourite places when I visited it where the Huia Falls.
Another must-see place there. And if you like falls, but you are on the other side
of the world in Switzerland, you should go and see the Rhine falls in
Schaffhausen. Rhine being the longest river in Switzerland flowing for
482 kilometers of its 1,230 total length in Switzerland. The Rhine is the
11th longest river on the European continent. In 2009, I went for the first
time on the South Island in New Zealand. It is a complete different natural
habitat in the North Island and at that point I realised how similar New Zealand
and Switzerland are. If you prefer colder climates then both nations offer two
amazing glaciers. New Zealand has that Franz Josef Glacier
It is a 12 kilometres glacier and it's stunning to see. In Switzerland you
have the Aletch Glacier 23 kilometres long. To visit it you take a little train
in Interlaken and you go up towards the Jungfraujoch.
It is a stunning trip...
Very expensive though.
but the sights from over there are priceless. So, if you go to
Switzerland this is an absolute must-see site. If you liked my video don't forget

until then, goodbye!
