Stillwater Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Here we go for another tour over Aotearoa, or (like some say), New Zealand. From the (default) Auckland airport... ... over the mudfields at Karaka harbourside... ... and the hills near Te Kauwhata... ... to Hamilton. By air it is just under 20 miles to the movie scenery of the Hobbiton. Unfortunately I couldn´t spot their coves and gardens from the air. (Neither could I see the ballons at Hamilton, did I mess up something with the setup?) So I went on to Rotorua, ... ... turned downwind over the lake, ... ... and into the airfield. Get out mates, for some sightseeing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
