NEW ZEALAND (NORTH ISLAND)
Looking at New Zealand’s entrancing and diverse landscapes modulating sceneries of a dramatic beauty, one cannot avoid the fascination of witnessing the sublime ability of Nature to constantly reinvent itself.
We explored the land of Kiwis in a “Hippie Camper” under a magnificent blue sky, coming across imposing mountains and picturesque grassland plains, active volcanoes and paradisiacal islands, wild beaches and serene rivers, wild beaches and lush forests, striking fiords and a rugged coastline, musical water falls and a vibrant underwater life…
