Having spent a couple of years in Palmy (finishing a physics degree at Massey of all things) I feel it is my duty to encourage you to check out the rest of the country! Enjoy your time here...

I'm proud that I spent some time sleeping despite this temptation. North is the wrong island for Gondor etc., but it does have Hobbiton! Lovely view from the air as our prop plane circled in over Palmerston North of patchwork small farms with a few dozen of sheep or cows on a few dozen rather scattered pastures. Have to admit I was thinking, "Wow, it's the Shire!" But, sadly, I didn't take photos from the plane window.
