Haere-mai Aotearoa!

Or in other words:

WELCOME TO NEW ZEALAND!!!


Welcome to a land proud of its Maori heritage.




To a land of magnificent beaches,
Karekare beach



thermal waters,

thermal pools in Rotorua

luscious vegetation,

Waikato River

amazing geological formations,
Pancake Rocks in Punaikiki

mountains and glaciers.
Franz Josef Glacier


To a land with more sheep than people!

Merino sheep = warm and soft sweaters!


To a land where you can do all sorts of outdoors sports…

in Abel Tasman National Park


Oh yeah, and welcome to Middle Earth! ;o)


(can you guess what regions in the movies those landscapes were used for?)


Want to hang out with me around here for the next month? :o)

(all those pics are from my previous visit here 3 years ago, I'll probably be blending in both trips whenever I have the time)


Bonus movie question: any idea what movie was filmed on that black sand beach above (Karekare)?
