Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand.
It simply means "land of the long white cloud." After a thirteen hour flight spiced with moments of complete turbulence terror, we came down through the long white cloud and flew over white capped breakers and moss covered hills. One of the most stunning approaches to a landing I have ever experienced.
After inspecting the bottom of my boots and looking over my tent and other equipment I was deemed to be free of any biological contamination. Ten minutes later I was hopping on a bus and having a late in down town Auckland.
Time to explore.
