Lion Rock clothed in mist, just off Piha beach

Mt. Eden Park, around the corner from where I'll be student teaching.

Cape Reing, the northernmost tip of New Zealand and...

Bluff, the southernmost tip (not including Stewart Island).

Tongariro Crossing, where we started our 2000 mile (3000km) hike! It'so considered one of the ten most breathtakingly beautiful hikes in the world.
