    Nelson-Christchurch

    April 18, 2017 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    There is a quote stating that it is the journey that counts rather than the destination. This really is true for our New Zealand trip. 💕
    Sometimes we were on the road for up to six hours but it never got boring because there was just too much to see. The landscape and scenery in this country is truly magnificent and we would stop more than once to get a couple (or heaps) of pictures.
    One of the maybe most beautiful stops was Lake Rotiti. You have the crystal clear lake in front of the incredible mountain range. The weather was perfect which added to the overall experience of this amazing place.💕
    Our journey continued to the Mauria Falls. The waterfall might not be the tallest but it was still very beautiful especially with the rainbow in front. 💕
    Fault lines from different earthquakes are visible everywhere in New Zealand. They shaped the landscape quite significantly and I can't even recall how many of them we saw and drove past or over in those two weeks.
    However the one we came across that day on the Lewis Pass was really easy to spot and really impressive as well. I still find it astonishing how mountains are made through the movement of the earth.
    Being here is definitely the best and most interesting geography lesson I ever had. 💕
