I would like a ticket to…

Here’s a piece of useless information for the masses. Far away from here on the other side of the world in Kiwiland, guests can buy a ticket to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronu- kupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. The name is practically an Icelandic saga, which in English means: The summit of the hill, where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid down, climbed up and swallowed mountains, to travel the land, who is known as the Land Eater, played on his nose flute to his loved one. (read more here)

With a total of 85 letters this town easily beats the famous town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Wales (which in comparison is easy to say aloud).
