Edoras, terre des seigneurs des chevaux

J’ai passé une excellente journée en Terre du Milieu grâce à notre guide : Chris. J’ai appris plus sur la Nouvelle-Zélande en une journée qu’en six mois : chapeau ! J’ai pourtant visité tous les musées d’Auckland, le Te Papa à Wellington et le Canterbury museum, autrement dit j’avais déjà quelques connaissasnes. Bref je recommande ?
