Arrival in NZ
2 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Our flight into Queenstown was put into a holding pattern before landing, meaning we had to do a few laps over the spectacular landscape to wait our turn to land. No complaints from us! We then pickedLeer más

Day 2 - Cardrona
4 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
We took a half day trip up to Cardrona for some hardcore skiing and snowboarding... (kidding!) Steve's recovering heel injury meant that we engaged in summer hardcore spectating, and with the winterLeer más

Day 4 - chillin'
6 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Today the weather wasn't superb and we were feeling like a day of nothing, so that's exactly what we did! We read, watched a film, did some yoga (yes, both of us!) and enjoyed watching the weatherLeer más
Day 5 - ebiking Wanaka
7 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

Day 6 - Matukituki valley
8 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Another specular day with clear blue skies and no wind: perfect for a "hike" (as much as one can hike on a healing broken foot). Steve managed approximately 4kms return. Quite the feat. It was aLeer más
Day 7 - soaking up the sun
9 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ 🌙 8 °C
Yet another glorious day, but it looks like wet weather from tomorrow so we took the opportunity to soak up the sun, spending the morning at the water's edge doing a crossword. After lunch we tookLeer más
Day 8 - leisurely Sunday
10 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

Day 9 - Cromwell
11 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

Day 10 - bike ride along the Clutha
12 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

Day 11 - Aoraki
13 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C
We departed Wanaka today with a tinge of sadness and loads of gratitude for the last 1.5 weeks in such a beautiful place and made our way to Aoraki (Mt Cook). This mountain can be moody and last timeLeer más
Day 12 - Clouds, wind and rain
14 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ 🌧 5 °C
There's very little to share of our adventures today and the comparative pic from our room showing the difference between yesterday and today should explain why. We woke to pure white, unable to seeLeer más
Day 13 - Tasman Glacier
15 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
The day started with cloudy skies that cleared beautifully just in time for spectacular views at Tasman glacier. It's quite confronting to see how it's retreating over the years. We then headed fromLeer más
Day 14 - Timaru & Oamaru
16 de septiembre de 2023, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
