After 31 hours, I have arrived in Dunedin, NZ!

New Zealand is by far the prettiest place I have ever been. The land formations created from volcanoes are beautiful and the sunlight is a much whiter light than anything I have seen in the US. This is due to a hole in the ozone above New Zealand. So while you get burned rather quickly, it does make for great star viewing.

Hopefully I’ll get a few shots of Mt. Doom and maybe a few hobbits while I’m here.

Just a tip for future travelers to NZ. The first time you cross a street, look right….then left. Large buses and other cars drive on the left side of the street.
