'Globe Trekker' spotlights New Zealand and 'LotR'

I'm watching a show on PBS now called 'Globe Trekker'. This episode spotlights New Zealand, and of course they visit some of the spots where the movies were filmed. It's an entertaining show, especially if you're planning a visit soon!

I imagine a TV special on grass growing in NZ would be interesting to you right now

As for me, I just decided I want to spend two weeks in Turkey. Not that I will, only that I want to.
Any TORnados in Turkey?

...but probably not enough to watch grass grow! There was a segment on the Fox Glaciers that has made me want to move some things around so we can get down there, though.

The glaciers are amazing and very accessible with guides. Just *don't* step over the barrier to get closer to the terminus face of the Franz Joseph glacier - people keep doing it and last week two ended up in hospital when an ice cave collapsed on them.

A friend has just returned from NZ ....

and he has a 'illness' for sending the tackiest postcard he can find ... he goes out of his way to hunt them down and send them to me ... and every year he goes, I get three ... one years batch was so bad he sent the same postcard on 3 occassions. While I was screaming for anything LoTR - he sent me a pencil case  
But this year he returned with 'The Art of The Lord Of The Rings by Gary Russell' - I forgave him for every postcard :) ... he did say though, he had a bit of trouble finding any LOTR merchandising ... but Im sure thats because the pub doesnt sell much LoTR or offer that unique M-E fan 'shopping' experience.
Turkey sounds nice SandWitch King .... I still am hoping to one day go to the Antarctic - but I have to learn how to knit socks first

I'm sure it's an interesting place to visit, and my curiosity is just a little piqued after having read The Historian, but I'd be terrified I'd be framed for having drugs in my luggage or something.
