G'day Kiwis, bye bye Aussies
Greetings from Middle-Earth. Uh, I mean New Zealand. I've already mixed up the two in my head more than once, and Middle-Earth seems to stick. So be it. Minus the cape and mediaeval replica weaponry, I'm soon in full LOTR-nerd mode having planned out a pretty good itinerary for checking out most of the filming locations - without tours, thank much. And there is so much to see and do here, such beauty and variety that I'm almost wondering why I stayed in Australia so long. That was, of course, due to my need for a contemplation break and because I was with good people. Jan, Kas, Jarrod, Tammy, Melissa, Mike, Kate, you rock. Thanks again. I hope I get to return the favours many times over.
And over here in Kiwiland, I've rented a car with a couple of fellow travellers, Lily and Mike, in order to circle the South Island in about 10 days. After two days only, it's clear this has to be one of the best places I've been to, if not top-of-list immediately. Here's a first blast of photos from Arthur's Pass's mountains, a rebuilt ghost town and Franz Joseph Glacier, where we just did a 13 km day hike. Icy beauty, when it's not pissing down rain like it does most of the time on the West Coast...As I post this, we're stuck in Franz Josef due to highway 6 south being closed for an indeterminate time.

And with adding the Kiwis Island to your (now nearly infinite??) list of visited places you have now officially BLISSFULLY LIVED my dream, as you'd say. Full stop.
Btw I loved your VLog with wisdom pearls matched with head shaving. Great to see you are still the one&only MikkoMan, pure insanity & pure intelligence :-)
We miss you too dude, enjoy NZ and keep posting good stuff,
xxx
nb: a ciao from Matteo too (now working for MySpace Italy) - he still gets complains from his neighbour about when you were here, that's what I call leaving a mark ;-)
Bliss comes and bliss goes, but yes, I've finally come to terms with living the dream. This is it, baby. :)
