PS: Hopefully they will be returning with lots of loot. 
I believe there is some Michelin starred restaurants in Buenos Aires and Mendoza that are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Australia and New Zealand have never been visited by Michelin Inspectors. Australia uses a classification system where the best have a Three Hat classification and be assured these will be up there with the best in the world.
The rumours are rife which restaurants will be awarded Michelin Stars and some of the chefs have been awarded Michelin Stars previously in Dubai, Paris, London and New York.
By golly, we will head them off with a FIFA Peace Prize.
You are apparently right:

New Zealand, with a clean environment, climates suitable from just about any type of plants, crops and husbandry, from sub-tropical in the northern parts of North Island, temperate on most parts and Alpine in the mountainous part, plus abundant seafood from the oceans around.

There are also some small sub-Antarctic island belonging to NZ:
The Snares, Auckland Islands (including Enderby), and Campbell Island.
PS: Macquarie Island is often confused as being part of NZ’s Southern Ocean territory. (It is actually Australian)
Now let us move back north, away from a wintry NZ to a summerly Norway.
Not everybody is happy with the photo.
PS: I would rather revers the order, at least for the #1 and #10 place.

Mid-summer is just around the corner and “Slinningsbålet” bonfire is growing by the day/evening.
It is a special year for the Slinningsbålet bonfire, as it has been ten years since the historic World Record 47.4-meter bonfire.

The bonfire will be light Saturday 20.June:
PS: Note that the bonfire builders are actually wearing safety harness and helmets.
First match for Norway at the World Cup 2026 against Iraq ended 4 - 1 to Norway.
Because of this enthusiastic crowd?
Not only at the stadions where the Norwegian World Cup team is playing:
Even the Norwegian Parliament (Storting) is at it:
Slinningsbålet bonfire was lighte at exactly 21:00 hrs. as planned:

Cool and windy, but dry at this time.
Here is a link to smp.no:
They transmit video from the event until the bonfire collaps and start to die out.
PS: It is a day early, but that is chosen because it is Saturday, so everybody can stay up late.
Summer solstic in the Northern Hemispheres is actually:

Here in Ålesund, at 62.5 Degr. North Lat., the sun is actually below horizon for a few hours, but it never actually get dark:

I was enjoying your Norwegian postings until this. Ask yourself, “Is it healthy to be so deranged about one man?”
Why post such fantasies? Does it work?
