Love NZ

---

OK, I love New Zealand.
It is absolutely gorgeous here. The last couple days I have covered about half of the south island over many of the locations used in the Lord of the Rings movies. There are glaciers, snow capped mountains, green mountains, rainforest, ocean beaches, fjords, and open fields. It is wonderful if you like outdoor adventure sports like me. You can do just about anything your heart desires here. Hang gliding for me.

I'll probably add more here tomorrow, but I am going to bed for now.

This was great fun!

Blue pools
These are about 30 feet deep and very blue and clear. You can see huge trout in them too.

Hamilton Jet Boat
This was a blast too. We shoot through a tight rock wall canyon and do 360s at a few points too.
