In search of the land of Rohan...

Well, we didn't take our planned trip down the east coast of the South Island to the Otago Peninsula since it turned out to be a holiday weekend. This meant that most accommodations were booked. Instead we went to Hanmer Springs and over Lewis Pass:
The following day, we headed up toward Arthur's Pass National Park and stopped at Kura Tawhiti Conservation Area for a spectacular picnic:



We fully expected to see Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli as they tracked the Orcs with Merry and Pippin as their captives but then again, we are supreme dorks.

  1. Glad to see photos of your tour around the South Island. It's so lovely, isn't it!? I'm with you in supreme dorkland and proud of it. Love the rock landscapes. Bryan
