Memories of Aotearoa

The nature here is simply great !!! I've been travelling all around NZ with a rented car for one month... not so much, but enough to see so many beautiful things: you pass from tropical forest to glaciers from beaches to high mountains........ amazing land !!! You will never forget how many stars you can see in the night.....

The famous Kea... a very mischievous bird !!

A waterfall near Rotorua... North Island

Cathedral Cave photo is spectacular (my favorite). You are so creative and have such an "eye" for color. Rotorua looks quaint. Rain Forest is astoundingly beautiful. Thanks for such a lovely tour.
