We took a road trip a couple of months back before dreary winter descended upon NZ and we came across some nice waterfalls, lots of farm animals and gorgeous scenery.
We were on our way to Waitomo but made a detour and pulled over at Bridal Veil fall, simply because of its name. There's a nice hiking trail that leads to the falls but unfortunately we didn't see any tragic brides moaning and haunting the trail and were a tad disappointed.
Carried onwards to Raglan beach. This is one of NZ's many surf beaches. What's special about this surf town is that the beaches here have black sand (just like Lembeh Straits in Manado).
We drove towards Waitomo where the area is famous for it's glowworm caves. I couldn't take pictures of the caves nor the glowworms but managed to get nice shots of the area instead. I am constantly amazed at the vast expanse of space in this country. It goes on for as far as the eye can see.
We found this farm with enough animals to put Old Macdonald to shame. That's a pet goat by the way. He even has his own little kennel to sleep in.

There was a bison standing by the fence but no way was I going to go near enough to take a photo. I want to keep all of my limbs.
