Marlborough Wine festival
10 de fevereiro, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
Wine and wine and wine and wine and amazing food and lots of free water. Amazing. They are so good at this. Healthy fresh food and people walking about filling your glass with water. Not just about profit. They want you to survive the day.
You have to load money onto your wristband, so no money is exchanged.
Simon paid for us to go on a helicopter ride over the vineyards. Really exciting.
We ended the afternoon doing a wine and cheese tasting. An amazing selection of NZ goats cheese and wine.
Talked to lots of lovely people, great wine and foodLeia mais

Viajante It is so hot. We couldn't do one of the walks that we planned in Blenheim as you weren't allowed into the hills. Says fire risk extreme. So glad that I brought my fleeces😆

Day in Blenheim
11 de fevereiro, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Beautiful day wandering in Blenheim. Simon had planned for us to walk up the Wither Hills, but we weren't allowed to go there. Access closed due to heat as extreme fire risk.
We walked along the Taylor River. There were parts where there was no water, but as you got closer to Blenheim, there was water. A beautiful walk which we finished at Seymour SquareLeia mais

Arthurs Pass
12 de fevereiro, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
5 hours in the car to get here. So worthwhile. As usual, the scenery was amazing. You knew the minute that you drove out of Marlborough, as while you were there, every field was full of grape vines, and you were constantly driving past vineyards.
The roads were long and empty. Some small towns and villages with a few houses.
We stopped at Buller Gorge and walked along the longest swing bridge in New Zealand, and then walked through the woods.
Stopped in Reefton for a coffee. This area was known for gold mining. It's a bit like driving onto a small town in a Western movie.
Arrived at Arthur's Pass late afternoon. It's absolutely stunning. Walked up the Devils Punchbowl trail. Beautiful walk up through the woods to view the waterfall. Definitely cleared the cobwebs.
Saw 2 kea's on the way back.
We move on tomorrowLeia mais

Arthurs Pass to Lake Tekapo
13 de fevereiro, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Another long and very scenic drive to Lake Tekapo. We stopped on route for coffee and leg stretch, but flat farmland and small towns, so no scenic points until you reach the Lake, which is stunning.So beautiful and clear.
Dropped the car off and then for a walk. Simply beautiful.
At Lake Tekapo, you can see the stars and the planets on clear night. There are no clouds in the sky tonight. An old Scottish guy does a talk about the stars and the planets late on a clear night, so we went along to listen to him. Saw Orions belt and the International Space station. The sky was full. There was so much going on. Simon has all the brilliant pictures. We left when the scary night stories startedLeia mais

Hooker Lake Track
14 de fevereiro, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Travelled from Lake Tekapo to The Mount Cook National Park. As we drove, there were stunning lakes. So clear. They looked like they had been painted. At each view point, you could see Mount Cook, New Zealands' highest mountain.
The walk was amazing. So busy. So much space, but so many people. Was really hot, but sudden intense gales that nearly took you off your feet.
When we reached the Hooker Lake, the views were out of this world, and the glaciers were stunning.
We are currently lying in our room with the lights out looking at Jupiter and the Milky Way. So beautifulLeia mais

15 de fevereiro, Nova Zelândia ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
1st day of rain in New Zealand. As we drove from Lake Tekapo,Mount Cook wasn't as clear as the previous day.
Stopped at the Mount Cook alpine salmon farm to buy supplies.
Long drive and when we arrived at Queenstown, it was a bit grey and gloomy. Wandered down to the harbour, burger at Fergburger. Very busy. Suddenly, felt very touristy and EnglishLeia mais

Queenstown Day 2
16 de fevereiro, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Woke up, and the sun is shining. Queenstown looks much better, but still like mini Britain.
Walked up the Queenstown Hill Walkway. Great for the gluteals😁.
Views were amazing.
Walked down the alternative route and there were mountain goats. The air just smelt of goats cheese.
We had a wander along the harbour and then went on a river cruise. More beautiful scenery.
So, no sky diving, bungee jumping or going down the luge!!!!!
Finally, a mojito on the Perky's floating bar.Leia mais

Milford Sounds
17 de fevereiro, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
There are no words to describe the beauty of this place. Long drive from Queenstown, but the scenery was amazing. Perfect for a girl who loves Waterfalls.
We went on the cruise around Milford Sounds and went into the underwater observatory.
Finally 2 hour drive to Te anau, green lip mussels for supper and bedLeia mais
