En wat een prachtig land is dat! We zijn van het noord naar het zuideiland getrokken met een mobilhome.

En dat gaat verder dan een verplicht bezoekje aan Hobbiton! Neem ik deel aan een uitputtende trektocht &#8211; de zogenaamde Tongariro Alpine Crossing &#8211; met een kleine groep voor mij onbekende stappers, regelmatig haalt er eentje een ring aan een ketting uit zijn zak voor een kiekje tegen een achtergrond die ook in de voornoemde films als decor zou zijn gebruikt.
