soippa: The slow train line called Overland took as to Wellington from all the way back Auckland and it took 12 hours. It was beautiful route and there was a lot to see so I had cameras ready and keeping myself wake all the time. There are not such photos or videos which could make you to believe that this is the place of Hobbits but we saw it and we have not seen a bit of all nice places near mountains and sea! Next week is keeping us in the city but after that scenery sightseeing is about to start. Any tips are very welcome concerning where to go in the Northern Island.
