    Auckland & Rangitoto Island (Nomads)

    31. lokakuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    After 30 hours of travel here I was happy to discover beautiful downtown Auckland around Queen Street and the harbour. You find nice old buildings in between many skyscrapers and the skytower, the landmark of the city.

    Highlight for me was the walk around the harbour with all its huge yacht and sailing ships and Rangitoto island (1/2 ferry ride from the wharf) where you can hike to the volcanoe top and an amazing view over the bay and tiny Auckland in the distance. It was fun experiencing Halloween in Auckland too :)    Lue lisää

    Waitomo Caves & Maori Town in Mourea

    2. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Leaving Auckland with the stray bus the first sightseeing stop brought us to the Waitomo caves. Floating in a boat through a part of a dark cave it felt like in space with a thousand stars around you while you are actually surrounded by thousands of glowworms in the dark.

    The next stop introduced us to Maori culture that is so obvious in most of the town names in NZ. We learned the welcoming (Kia Ora!), the poi dance (for women) and the haka dance (for men) and listened to traditional songs after typical Maori dinner. We slept together on the floor of the major Maori house, quite an experience.    Lue lisää

    Hobbiton :)

    3. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    Went and visited Bilbo and Frodo in their houses in Hobbiton and suddenly felt so amazingly tall the first time :) It becomes clear to you why Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin missed their home so much while rescuing the world from Sauron :DLue lisää

    Tongariro National Park Alpine Crossing

    6. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    A tough 20km and 7h hike over the mountain in between two snow topped volcanoes. As it is still an active volcanoe area you smell the sulfur in the air and you can spot smoke coming from holes in the ground. Besides that the great weather made the snow and the lagoons even more shiny and beautiful. Finally, I was surprised and very proud of myself having made it to the other side of the mountains :)Lue lisää

    Stop over in Wellington (Nomads)

    8. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Just spending some time in the Weta movie studio with the Lord of the Rings characters (actually I found myself looking a bit similar to Gollum in my current illness state haha), on the night market and watching the firework in the harbour before taking the ferry to Picton and the South island the next day 🎉Lue lisää

    Abel Tasman National Park (The Barn)

    9. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    Kayaking! Definitely the best way to explore the famous national park on your own. Got to see clear water, seals and I could finally find penguins :D

    That was when the weather suddenly changed (typical NZ weather) and we found us paddling in the rain and surrounded by a white curtain. Luckily, but just after some time, we made it to the pick up point :)Lue lisää

    Franz Josef Glacier (Rainforest Retreat)

    12. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    A 2h walk from Franz Josef Village you get to the base of the Franz Josef glacier where you can see it sitting between the mountains and you also see how it has carved the valley over the thousands of years back in time. All the way on the trail you follow the water coming from the glacier. Its colour invites you for a swim if it wasn't that freezing cold. In order to hike on the actual glacier a helicopter trip would be defintely the best experience.Lue lisää

    Somewhere in nowhere

    17. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    Somewhere in nowhere - that's easy to find in NZ, the country that has actually more sheeps than inhabitants. Anyway, NZ is rather not a destination where you expect visiting wold famous cities. But it definitely is famous for its stunning and unique countryside. That's why the following impressions, including all the beautiful colours, the sheeps and cows 🐏🐐🐂🐃🐄, deserve their own special attention here :DLue lisää

    Christchurch (YMCA Hostel)

    18. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Christchurch - a city shaken and still shaped by the desastrous earthquake(s) in 2011. Under the name 'Re:START' and projects like 'gap fillers' you find hundreds of ship containers replacing former shop buildings and offices and filling gaps between houses in the streets. Many reconstruction and art projects and the onnispresent construction sites resemble the will of the Kiwis in Christchurch to build up a new, modern and especially safe city for the future.Lue lisää

    Wanaka (The Base Hostel)

    21. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    This small town right next to its beautiful lake is the perfect place to escape busy and noisy Queenstown. During the day you sit in a café or on the waterfront while the sun is shining and the wind is getting warmer during spring time. For rainy days you visit puzzling world and the paradiso movie theatre with its comfortable seats and homemade and still warm cookies.Lue lisää

    Milford Sound day trip

    23. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ 🌙 9 °C

    A day trip from Queenstown you enter the fjordland and the most rainy part of the country. On one of the many not so lucky rainy days, as it definitely was, there are waterfalls coming down from every side of the fjord and its steep rocks once carved out by huge glaciers during ice age. While the boat ride was also pretty shaky it was the fun challenge to stay as dry as possible (it was obviously not really possible to stay dry :D) and still get some good pictures.Lue lisää

    Queenstown (Base & Black Sheep Hostel)

    24. marraskuuta 2015, Uusi Seelanti ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Queenstown - the backpacker and tourism hub, the party hub and last but not least the bungy and adventure hub of NZ. Besides the many travel agencies, hostels and tour and information stores Queenstown has a beautiful waterfront and landscape. Even though it is a pity that the town appears that touristic I still have to admit that watching others jumping from the bridge on a bungy rope and following the pub crawl, as the last evening with the stray bus crew, will definitely stay in my NZ memory.Lue lisää
