Erehwon (a.k.a Edoras) was my last destination in New Zealand. I had the hardest time leaving New Zealand after this trip.
This landscape feels completely out of nowhere, and that is where the name Erehwon came from – “nowhere” spelled backwards.
Since Erehwon was a far off region, I had to book a tour to get there. When they came to pick me up, there were two guides inside the van and no guest! That was so New Zealand. They wouldn’t cancel a tour for lack of guests. They would rather add one more guide so that it wouldn’t be awkward for the only guest.
It was a weird sight. There was a vast flat surrounded by giant mountains, and in the middle of the flat protruding alone was a (relatively) small hill. Glaciers shaped the flat, but the hill was made of super-solid rocks so glaciers couldn’t quite crush it.
