Wow! What a time we had in New Zealand! It was with great zeal (all puns intended) that we discovered the land … the lakes.. islands …beaches … rainforests. The landscapes we saw evocated far oft memories of maybe a book, a photo, a fairy tale?
We spent the first part of our ten-day trip in the welcoming home of Zac’s family on their farm outside Auckland. Our first glimpse of New Zealand was from their porch settled above rolling hills, some gentle and some steep. Although it was winter, the hills lay covered with a verdant green, cattle and sheep grazed nearby. A large hawk drifted on the waves of wind overhead. Although we saw much on the trip to New Zealand this first look remains the strongest.
