#hobbiton dump 2, and yes there are now two hobbit-holes you can walk through!!! (Opened December 2023) #newzealand

Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not, or that you feel good this morning, or that it is a morning to be good on? #hobbiton #theshire #newzealand

How about a sailing catamaran trip out on Lake Taupo to see some rock carvings? #laketaupo #newzealand

Round 2 of Orakei Korako Geothermal Park… More hot springs, some boiling mud and again the smell just doesn't come through lol #orakeikorako #newzealand

Photo dump 2 from adventures on the mountain. #newzealand #tongariroalpinecrossing

Photo dump 1 from the hike yesterday. 8 hours and 18 minutes including lunch. Gained 2,937 feet of elevation in the first 5 miles, total hike 12.79 miles. Some of it was very challenging… Steep uphill after Soda Springs and then a very slippery descent down loose rock and ash after Red Crater.Such a wonderful hike #newzealand #tongariroalpinecrossing

Not 100% sure which would kill me quicker; drinking water from Blue Lake or this Pot Noodle. Bloody nice place to stop and eat though… I can't remember the last time I was craving salt so bad! #tongariroalpinecrossing #newzealand

Who knew Mount Doom was so picturesque? #tongariroalpinecrossing #newzealand
