I had no expectations of New Zealand. I remember sitting in the plane and looking out the window while we landed and completely dropping my chin. If you are not interested in mountains and waterfalls before visiting New Zealand, it is guaranteed that you will fall in love with them afterwards.
If you're a fan of Lord Of The Rings then you definitely know Milford Sound. It is a fjord on the southern island of New Zealand. It is known for its high pointed mountains and waterfalls.
