Want to go to New Zealand so bad! None of the insane animal life of Australia and all of the LOTR landscape glory.

Fiordland, a vast tract of mountainous terrain that occupies the south-west corner of South Island, New Zealand, is one of the most astounding pieces of land anywhere on God's earth, and one's first impulse, standing on a cliff top surveying it all, is simply to burst into spontaneous applause.

That's not applause, that slapping sound is everyone fighting a losing battle vs sandflies.

Gorgeous. But I'm surprised to learn that "Fiordland, New Zealand" is not a Norwegian-themed amusement park in NZ. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Is that near the Routeburn Track? A glacier atop the cliff melting to create the waterfalls? Can't think of the name.
