I have a long list of fond memories from my six months in NZ but if I had to choose my favorite, favorite FAVORITE spot it would be the top of the Otago peninsula. The Royal Albatross Colony is amazing and we got to take an Argo out into the hills and down to remote beaches to see Little Blue penguins and fur seals. The scenery was just magical. Tears well up in my eyes when I think about how serene and beautiful it was. Close second, also for very mystical, otherworldly qualities would be Piha beach just outside of Auckland, tucked in the Waitakeres..
