New Zealand.

What an amazing place. They call their roads highways, but you have to slow down to 25 km/h for the corners and if one of the livestock decide to stick their head over the fence, they might end-up on your dashboard. The people are borderline too friendly and the landscapes look like something out of a fairy tale. It will go from crisp sunshine and pristine waves to victory at sea and torrential downpour within 6 hours. This is truly a land of extremes with a snowcapped volcanic peak towering over black sand beaches, fringed by prehistoric fern forests. Amazing.

Blazing!

While suiting up for an evening swim, I saw smoke climbing into the evening sky, behind the Lookout car park. From the water I noticed the smoke growing relentlessly thicker. After swimming around in the river mouth for about a half hour, I decided that instead of dangling my legs around like shark bait, it would be a better idea to check out the ever increasing blaze. After all you don’t get too many chances to watch a house burn to the ground.
