Morning spent wandering through Milford with a walk along the beautiful beach. Bus into the city. Walked along the harbour. So beautiful. Went up the sky tower. Amazing views. There were some people jumping from the top, but we chose to ignore that😱.
Back to Milford for the eveningMeer informatie

Vineyard tours on Waiheke Island Isla
2 februari, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ 🌬 24 °C
Boat from Auckland to Waiheke Island. 4 vineyards tour with a funny and very informative tour guide. There were 12 of us and we had a laugh. Wines okay, but not my favourites. They don't sell them off the island so won't be buying at home.
It's a beautiful island. All the winery staff were from the UK. 3 Yr work visa; I'm giving it some thought 🤫Meer informatie

Waitomo to New Plymouth
4 februari, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Visit to Waitimo caves. Lit up by glow worms. Interesting to discuss their life cycle. Amazing to see as you travel through the dark caves.
Drove to Marokopa Falls. The scenery was stunning. Lots oc beautiful tree ferns.
Short walk through a tropical forest to an amazing waterfall.
We then followed the route given to us on Google maps and Simon drove for 48kms up and down very windy roads and across miles of dirt tracks.
Eventually back on the main roads. Stop off at Mokau for coffee and then stopped near the 3 sisters. Stunning views, but unable to walk across tide coming in.
Arrived in our beautiful accommodation in New Plymouth.
Walk along the coastal path and then Simon cooked supper.

Mount Taranaki
5 februari, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Drove to Stratford Plateau. This volcano is stunning, and we could see to the to. Unfortunately, we didn't do the climb.
We walked down to the foot of Dawson Falls. Amazing. Was a long way down, and Simon may have mentioned that we would have to walk back up.
We ate lunch at the foot of the falls and then trudged back up in the early afternoon 🥵. Was definitely worth it.
Visited te rewa rewa Bridge, but Taranaki not clear at this point.
Back to Air B&B for the biggest Tuna steak that I have ever seen xMeer informatie

Happy Waiheke day
6 februari, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
We have seen no celebrations as we have driven today, but we also haven't seen many people.
We have travelled from New Plymouth to Tūrangi. 4 hrs in total. At least 3, going up and down long winding roads to the top of the hills and to the bottom. Risky driving (thankfully Simon is driving). I could count on my hands the number of other cars that we saw.
The scenery is amazing. I have never seen so much beauty. It changes from tropical to rolling hills.
We have walked along the Tongariro River (10-11 miles) and now off to bed.Meer informatie

Tongariro National park
7 februari, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Day at Tongariro National Park. Stopped to take photos of Mount Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe. Amazing.
We took the sky waka gondola up from the base of Ruapehu. Bought the tickets and then read the information about it being an active volcano. Unexpected eruptions can occur. There were posters advising what to do if the sien sounds. My plan was to panic 😱.
It was a little scary. We had a walk across the side. Simon could have done more, but due to my ability to fall over a piece of string, we didn't go to far.
Back down on the Gondola and then a walk up a rocky area so that we were facing Ngauruhoe. Very impressive.
Drove down to Whakapaka village and did the Taranaki Falls track. Amazing scenery and another amazing waterfall. As everything in New Zealand, we walked up and down and up and down. Definitely worth it.
Back for a rest and then fish for dinner.

Checking out Wellington
8 februari, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
4.5 hour drive to Wellington today. Luckily, we had all straight main roads. Still amazing scenery, and you drive for long distances seeing no houses. Stopped in a retro cafe in a small town. Coffee and my 1st yoyo biscuit.
Quirky air B&B in the Wellington suburb of Karori.
We took the bus into town for a bit of a wander and dinner at the crab shack. 1st fish and chips with a side helping of mussels. The bar tenders had great t shirts. See the pic😆
It's a bit chilly, so early night. Ferry to the South Island tomorrow. Back for a stay in Wellington later in the monthMeer informatie
