Hello from New Zealand’s scenic South Island. Maybe you’ve never heard of this place, but you’ve probably seen in — in movies like The Lord of the Rings and Narnia. This is where Hollywood goes for epic scenery. And the scenery is epic.
Before we get to the photos, here’s this week’s question: This week’s plane crash in Washington, D.C., got us thinking about dangerous flights. What’s the most dangerous flight you’ve ever been on? I’d love to hear your stories of planes and helicopters held together by ducktape and where you pray for a safe landing. (I’ve been on a few of those.)
Words can’t adequately describe the stunning beauty of New Zealand’s South Island. But let me try. Majestic. Awe-inspiring. Unforgettable. Here’s a view from the famous boulders at Flock Hill Lodge, where the final battle in the first Narnia film, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, was filmed.
In our podcast, we can’t stop talking about the incredible food — one of the best reasons to come to New Zealand.
We will be thinking about this pizza years from now. It is the pizza against which all other pizzas will be measured. Seriously. Those guys at Flock Hill are geniuses.
Hey, it’s my new friend, Fluffy. He’s an orphaned lamb. Such a cutie.
Bottom line: The South Island of New Zealand is awesome and it should be on everyone’s bucket list. Give yourself a few weeks (it takes at least a week to get used to the time difference) and pack your sense of adventure and your appetite. Details are in this week’s podcast.
Don’t forget our question: What’s the most dangerous flight you’ve ever been on? I can’t wait to hear your stories.
