So we left the lively green fields of our Shirelike home. Shortly and unexpectedly the green that had always been around us turned brown and we knew we had entered the borders of Mordor. Then we saw Mt Doom - even with clothed with some small blankets of snow still one knew the influence and brave Mary walked among steam vents.
Translation for non LOTR fans. We left home going North. Gentle rolling hills as usual. Then there was a sign "Desert Road." We thought "huh?" Then in another 20 km the land was changing and you could see Mt Ngauruhoe which has played a major role in several movies. Later we went to craters of the moon nearby where there are thermal features such as steam vents and mud pots, fumeroles similar to Yellowstone in the U.S.
