All the links and more- the goods from our trip to Malaysia and New Zealand.
Te Papa National Museum- the amazing national museum of New Zealand.
Weta Workshop- Didn't get to visit but I met someone who works there . . . Also, Weta's store.
WOW- only the Kiwis would combine classic cars and wearable art in one musuem, but the end result defies description, but it seriously one of the coolest museums ever.
Hobbiton- although they dismantled most of it, some of it is still there and it is a lot of fun. "As it was, as it is, sheep."
Awesome Adventures Dolphin Swim- the water is COLD but it is soooo worth it.
Milford Sound- one of the more beautiful places on Earth.
National Tattoo Museum of New Zealand- a good place to see beautiful artwork and maybe get some done on yourself.
The Film Archives- An amazing resource- every motion picture ever filmed in NZ, free for viewing. Sure you could watch LOTR, but there are many other great movies to see. Such as In My Father's Den.
Black Water Rafting in the Waitomo Glowworm Caves- good fun and worms with glowing poo!
Pelennor Fields filming location- just a tour of a field, but the guys who run it are great- they were either extras or drivers and have a lot of first-hand stories to tell.
Whale Watch Kaikoura- where you can see sperm whales.
New Zealand Herald- the best paper in NZ. The best team in NZ? The All Blacks.
Flora Bay Dive- the best dive school on the best island with the best resort attached.
There are way more but that is all I can think of for now.
