We did an amazing self-drive Lord of the Rings tour of Middle Earth, aka New Zealand's South Island, seeing some spectacular sights
I’ve recently been strolling down memory lane and longing for some of the amazing adventures we had, prior to COVID. One such journey we had was one out of the box, we did a self-drive Lord of the Rings tour of Middle Earth, aka New Zealand’s South Island. Not being part of a large tour gave us access to places many people don’t normally see. We started out from Christchurch and met up with various small tour companies along the way.
I recently read a wonderful article by fellow writer Sara Kempner on the Faroe Islands. It got me thinking about a trip my husband and I did a few years ago while traveling in New Zealand. Granted, not quite as remote, but just as enthralling an adventure for us. So I thought I would dive back into my memory box and share it with you.
