minus-squarequpada@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down1·3 days agoI already live in NZ 😆 We had to travel to Iceland to find something that was sufficiently more impressive than what we have at home. Funnily, a lot of people thought that the pictured Wharariki Beach was actually the (somewhat) similar looking Cathedral Cove, half the country away. I haven’t actually seen the former in person, but it’s quite a trek from civilisation. Someday.
