We're starting to lose track of the number of visits we've had to New Zealand. It's such a beautiful country - quite similar to Canada, in fact - that it's been an easy decision to visit it often given our proximity to it from Canberra.
This visit, we focused entirely on the North Island. We visited Lake Taupo to relax and view geothermal sites, Hobbiton to see the set of LOTR, and Paeroa to visit the L&P cafe (for Blair). Last, but not least, we finished our tour by spending a lovely week in the beautiful city of Wellington.
Here are some photos from our visit to Lake Taupo:
Here are some photos from Hobbiton:
And for Blair, here are some photos of our tour around Paeroa (where his favorite soft drink is/was made):
And finally, photos from the beautiful city of Wellington:
