 @a5f14892 Oh, that is unfortunate.  Luckily, New Zealand is open again.  We were there a couple of months ago.

 @a5f14892 hahaha, that is interesting. Well, maybe wait for summer and then take the ferry to Wellington and continue on to Hobbiton.  And don't forget to spend a few days in the Rotorua area. It's fantastic!!! 😀

 @a5f14892 well, then I hope you get a chance to make it happen next year!  Good luck!
BTW, we loved the Blenheim wine region and my wife discovered her favorite wine over there.
