great wine on both north & south islands!

Great wine. Great people. Amazing country. Some of it looks like BC, some of it is vastly different. Oh well.

Folks, when someone from BC says your land is like BC, they're paying you a high compliment. We really do get bowled over every day by the natural beauty here and our good fortune in being surrounded by it.

(also, I’m stating a 4-day hike, so if you don’t hear from me for a few days, I have not been eaten by wolves, or whatever the predatory animal is in this fun country, is it just sheep, I think it might be just sheep)

Hobbits are just as afraid of you as you are of them

New Zealand is famous for not having predators at all!

erinbraincandy.bsky.social•13 days ago

The kea birds are very predatory, at least of car parts. Be wary.

My fave thing about NZ are no real predators except one cheeky spider (and possibly that commenter who can go pound sand because Auckland is definitely like YVR and parts of the west coast are def like Haida Gwaii 👅) Enjoy the relaxing hike.
