Good for offroad action and wash your 4WD in the sea. Better than every carwash. And makes much more fun. :D
Nice to go for a swim with kids too.

A 10min walk to the beach. A lonly beach. Noone else was there and all campervans drive past. You hear nothing but the waves. I saw a stingray and 3 ducks come close to me. The water was so clear. If you'll come here make sure you go for a swim. Such a nice place for picnick, go swimming, just chill out... What ever you want. This is like your own little paradise.Read more

This is the place where the barrels scene from Lord of the Rings is filmed at. Some kind of magic. Fantastic rocks and crystal clear water. This location will enchant you. It enchanted me at least.🌟

Christ Church - Nelson
November 20, 2018 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Really beautiful church. ⛪ Grey from the outside and colored from the inside. They have got informationpapers about the church inside and there are signs, wich explain the windows. I feel comfortable in this church. Usually it's always the difference. In churches I feel small and unconfortable. Like I shouldn't speek, shouldn't cough and so on, like you has to be quiet or everyone will look at you. I feel unwanted. But here it seems everyone is welcome. They do services for kids. They also have a playpen inside. 😂 Maybe that's the reason I feel good.

This reminds me of a pastor in the village I grow up with. He was the only one that includes children to the service. I loved it when he holdes a fair.
Nice greets to Pastor Aufmberg. 😊 I'll never forget you. Cheers for that.Read more

I didn't know about the fact, that the center is in Nelson. All I wanted to do there, was to watch the Christ Church.
I always drive through the city without a plan just to see. Also now. Then I saw the sign. I thought: "What? What the f*ck? Tnere I will go. I must do."
So after visiting the Christ Church and Queens Garden I had a look at that. It was a 20min walk. Yea, nice. I really stood in the middle of NZ. Feels kind of special. Crazy, 'cause it isn't, but..yea. Take a picture and be happy. 😁Read more

Everyone who knows me know that I love stones. Stones and old big trees. Actually I only wanted to drive through Takaka, but I needed a toilet. I find one at the informationcenter and just wanted to look in to get to know how long the abel tasman track is. I stood in front of the wall and the first thing I saw was this brochure. I knowed I want it. So I got the adress, show it up in google maps anshere I am. So happy now. 😊 It was really great. I wonder how stones get naturally formed like this. Great. And the cute little occupants. 😁 Think I found 'em all. I must take the card with me and a pen. All wbo knows me know why. 😂 Yea, the last section I failed. 😄Read more

Should I go or should I not? Another waterfall. Yes, I love them and they are always pretty. But 40min one way!? It was 7.15pm. I didn't had much energy and my desire was not big.
But okay, it is too early to go to bed and maybe I will regret it later, if I won't go. I walked with hurry first. Taked some pictures. I could hear it. It got louder and louder.
I heard about that they are loud, but man, they are! Louder then every other waterfall in New Zealand. Like it. 💧💧Read more

Depature Time: 14.00
Arrival Time: 17.30 - actually
Now it's 18.15 and we're arrived. The storm outside was too heavy today.

I startet at the shelter at 12.20 by the way. I had to check in at 13 o'clock. More people thought the same - go earlier I mean. The streets were f*cking full.

First I went outside to look at the big waves. The scenery was sl beautiful. Wow. But the stuff tould us we have to go in, because the sea gets too rough. As I went inside and saw all that tables you could charge your phone at, I couldn't believe I left mine inside the car. 🙈 No matter, no matter.
I went into the cinema and saw the rest of Mama Mia. After that I fall asleep for an hour. Oh, I needed it. I could see the rest of the second film till the end before we arrived.

I left the ship at 18.40.Read more

Incredible. New Zealand has got skyscrapers. I thought I will never see one. Now I know why this is the capital city. It seems little on the map, but noo, it isn't.
While driving throjgh without any plan, I fall in love with this city. Forgott I love to be in big citys. Miss them soo much.
I will stay here for longer. Sure.

But now, I only wanna come to my campground. It was just too cold at the ship, my feets become block of ice. The rain don't make it better. Only wanna sleep. 💤Read more

Central Park
November 27, 2018 in New Zealand ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
Befor I can park somewhere I have to wait untill 9 to 10pm, till it's dark outside. 🌃 So nobody can see me and my car is 'invisible'. It's illegal to stay the night in a car. But I would drive 1,5h to the next campground and tomorrow morning all the way back.
A park is always a good idea. Where's a playground, there are publik toilets. These were high tech.
I did a nice walk to them, Miauroa Stream Walkway. Lovely park. 🍃

By the way, the Central Park is in Brooklyn. 😂Read more

November 28, 2018 in New Zealand ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
This was a interesting one.

First I went to the playground to brush my teeth. Usually I'm alone at playgrounds at this time ( 7am ), but today there was a guy doing his sport exercises. We both looked surprised at each other, like 'Oh, what is he/she doing there!?'.

I moved on to see the Rose Garden. I walked through a Stone Garden and South Africa, South America and Australian Garden. So nice!
Other Botanical Gardens have a Japanese or Chinese Garden and a Rose Garden. Maybe a Herb Garden too, but that's it. I never saw a Garden from this countries.
I walked the Skulpture Walkway and found nice stairs. It's an art project named "body to soul".

Now I'll have my breakfast here. Yummi. ☕Read more

It really feels like Hollywood. This city makes me so happy.
But the streets are crazy. Some are so small, looks like only one car can come through, but it's not a one way street. Freaky.Read more

So cool. As a fan from The Hobbit I only can LOVE it.
They have a 'Little Museum' and it's really small but you can you in and take pictures for free. A saw the Maps of Middleearth and how it starts from an idea till it gets a film.
Could've stay longer..Read more

I really wanna show you. It was about all rhat Maori stuff, from the beginning to now. I adore the culture. But the rest was good too.Read more
