What to write on this? Hm, if you know the movies and or the books, talking about “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”, just enjoy. If not, well go buy some books or watch the movies, or just enjoy without doing so (because it is still nice). 🙂 Since […]

Still being geothermal active in the area around Rotorua, but there are also plenty of other things to explore. Redwood Tree Walk Redwood are huge trees as you might know, so for us clearly a must-see going here and walking inbetween the trees using the suspension bridges they installed here. […]
