Kiwibloke looks for rogues in Rivendale
Whilst Kiwiland is inhabited by both hobbits and Dark Lords, according to Forbes Traveller, New Zealand is an ultra safe destination for travelling humans:
Kiwis are much more into harming themselves (via rugby or bungee jumping) than assaulting others. As a result, New Zealand boasts among the lowest violent crime rates in the Western world. The islands are too far south to attract tropical cyclones, too far north for Antarctic blizzards. The last fatal earthquake was 1968.
Also included in the list was Singapore, the Swiss, Bhutan and our friends the Irish.
The French are touring New Zealand at the moment and are suffering at the hands of the All Blacks however.

i have to agree some of the stuff you kiwis do is mad, the jet boats for example is the most stupid thing i think ive ever seen, but i still want to have a go in one

Well Carl, there are even more crazy things you can do if you visit NZ. Yes I am looking at you zorbing, the luge and the Shweeb.

Haha where are you from Carl?? Sounds like you guys are not very ‘extreme’ at all.

This will be great for tourism. We certainly need help attracting visitors!

When I came to NZ I couldnt believe how many dangerous sports I could get involved in – brilliant! but other than the crazy sports I think they are right its a really safe place to travel

That’s a great thing to be able to boast. I wish we could say the same here in the UK.

I didn’t know that Kiwis had so many rough sports. Would love to be able to see the land one day. My only exposure to it so far has been from the LOTR movies.

The picture really looks impressive. And nice to hear Kiwiland is safe

I reckon those ferns must be in the North Island, as it would be too cold for them to survive in the South. As for it being safe, I had no problems on my visit there, but then again, that was some 25 years ago.

Well, other than trying not to visit countries which are currently going through a bloody coup, I hadn’t thought much about “safe”. I’d take a trip to New Zealand even if it was listed as dangerous – it’s too beautiful to miss!
