This is New Zealand's south island, as you travel from the north to the south by plane (I was going from Wellington to Queenstown). To capture these amazing views, be sure to seat on the right side of the plane.

Bagshot Row - Hobbiton

Abel Tasmin National Park

This is the New Zealand. God's unfinished work. I really recomend an hiking trip to this country, its the best way to really get to know it. This is one of the tracks we did: the roteborne track. In total it takes 1 day, but we did one of the segments, and it took 4 hours.
