Back to the green... for our family, it hits first at the airport when you walk from the International terminal to the domestic terminal by following a green line painted on the footpaths... nothing is sweeter than the fresh breeze that is usually around, and a dose of UV light from the clear skies, there maybe a cloud or two.. hence the Maori name for New Zealand is Aoteararoa... The Land of the Long White Cloud..... The green paddocks of farmland, then a magnificent view of the Volcanic Area, including Mt. Ruapehu that has a crater lake that bubbles and blows its top occasionally - it is well monitored now, as the mountain is used by skiers.
