Who happen to travel to places with landscapes different from our own are probably aware that one of the most pleasant sensations is the way familiar to a world unknown until yesterday that slowly emerges. That 's what happened to me in the first three days here. New Zealand is not Australia. And 'much longer than what many Europeans think (three and a half hours flight from Melbourne, more or less the same time for a Milan-Reykjavik, for instance) and, above all, a lot more' green. While driving to the farm where we are now, to little more 'than 150 km north of Auckland, looking for a comparison with other places. The landscape is similar to the Trentino Alps, were it not for the ocean horizon and often peeps that call instead for the ferns that sub-tropical climate that is read in the guides. Compared to Australia does not have animals dangerous, apart from a couple of poisonous spiders (imported from the neighbors ...) rather rare and that when you walk in the forest is truly calming. Up to the day after tomorrow we are still in this farm and is surrounded by a forest that seems endless horizon and a thick ... trees, mountains, water. Then we start to Bays of Islands, on the hunt for Maori spirits. Here we finally have free internet. Maybe this time we'll post the photos really .....
