Our last day in New Zealand happened to be ANZAC day. 💕
On that day we remember the fallen soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
We hopped on the bus in Franz Josef and made our way to the Greymouth train station.
On our way we fist stopped at Lake Mapurika. An absolutely stunning sight. It was still early in the morning and the lake showed us a perfect mirror reflection with just the tiniest amount of fog on top of the lake. 💕
Our second and last stop for the day was Hokitika. It is a rather small but cute town near the sea. We had some food and watched the small ANZAC Parade which was still impressive even though it was small.
Sadly it was time to say goodbye when we arrived in Greymouth. We boarded the train and started our journey back to Christchurch from which we would fly home very early in the morning the next day.
It is one of the most scenic train rides in the world and we took the last pictures of New Zealands beautiful landscape. 💕
When we arrived about 4h later we were picked up by a shuttle bus and driven to the hostel where we repacked our bags, went to grab some food and then quickly went to sleep with alarms set for 3am.Read more
