When you travel there are always things that make you stop the car and take a picture. Here are some of NZ Big Things. The big trout below and my favourite - the Big Gumboot above.

Of course there are many more beautiful things to look at although most are created by nature and only just touched by man.

It only rained a little while we were travelling but the rainbow was a bonus

There is a desert in the North Island which does not fit my impression of a desert but beautiful anyway

You are never far from the mountains

And of course the green rolling hills are everywhere.

Hawkes Bay has a pebbled beach and not too appealing for sunbaking or swimming but the view is dramatic.
