How Many Calories Is In Mouthwash

Edoras / Rohan

This is my first "Lord of the Rings"-related entry. As a warning to all those who find the stupid movies or books, which therefore have no interest in those who will now have the text read and just enjoy the pictures.
For everybody else: When I came here to Methven I had no idea that I am located at the edge of Rohan. The shooting for this were mainly around the city and the abandonment of Edoras Edoras to Helm's Deep made here in the foothills of the Southern Alps.
I could not let it take me to go there (very strenuous, about 25 km on a very very bad gravel road low-Harrison).
I suspect that the shootings have taken place at that time in the spring, the film is the grass greener and the peaks still covered with snow. Now Summer (oh yes, we yesterday 38 degrees, the hottest day so far, and had on the South Island!) Everything is a bit brown.
Getting there was really fascinating: totally lonely, you see maybe a cow or a sheep, but that's it for now.

into the canyon on the next screen, Aragorn has fallen after he fought with the Orcs and Wargs.

On the next screen, you can already see the first time the hill on which the city of Edoras was built-centered, something to the right.

Not to mention that, I think this picture ass when well how the clouds hang in the mountains. On the west coast the clouds accumulate, as always, to the Southern Alps and it's raining like cats and dogs (I speak from experience) and here on the other S PAGE of the Alps is the most fantastic weather. That was just the weather here border-left.
Anyway, back to Edoras:

This hill (mountain would be rubbed on) is called in reality Mount Sunday. From Edoras unfortunately there is nothing left, the houses were after shooting all demolished.

I was back with Nadine. We had planned to run high, but two things have prevented us: First, a violent wind (up storm), who had us whipped the sand only as the face (but thankfully it was still in the heat) and the little one against arrived. And secondly, we had to cross three rivers and we had forgotten our horses :-) There was no way through. No chance.

But still awesome there, then you sit there and look forward, backward, left and right and can not even believe that you really just sees everything. And the time has nothing to do with "Lord of the Rings" to do, that's just New Zealand.

But see yourself:

And what is New Zealand: 38 degrees yesterday and a tropical heat with a hot wind (in the mountains Fortunately, a little cooler, but even more), followed by a sultry night. And today it still has 21 degrees and regent. Well, it did not for a long time, nature once again urgently need safe, is only as a stark contrast, even worse than at home in Schland.

Well, it sure is nice again tomorrow. Such a middle course would be not bad times. But I'm not complaining, no, I do the weather just suggestions ...
