Postcard from New Zealand
New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It consists of two main landmasses—the North Island and the South Island —and over 700 smaller islands.

In the Welsh language Wales is actually Cymru pronounced Cumree; it is actually the English speakers who call Wales Cymru. The word literally means “a fellow-countryman”. The name Wales is from the Germanic word “Walha” meaning foreigner which is the Anglo Saxon name for the Welsh, strangely the invaders called the inhabitants of the country foreigners
Samos is a Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea, separated from Turkey by the mile-wide Mycale Strait. It was the birthplace of the mathematician Pythagoras and the philosopher Epicurus, and is known for producing sweet Muscat wine.
Postcards with maps are very informative, I love them. Especially the first one, with that little Australia 😀
I was about to publish a map of Scotland today, too!

Yes the New Zealand card is funny, I thought they were waving. Maps with dragons are the best.
