    Steampunk HQ

    30 de mayo de 2020, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

    Oamaru claims to be the steampunk capital of the world. A good way to describe steampunk is that it's a vision of the future, as dreamed up by a person living in the 19th century. We visited the Steampunk HQ which has a collection of artwork and displays in the steampunk style.Leer más

    Edoras

    2 de junio de 2020, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

    Mount Sunday was the film site for Edoras in the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers movie. So we obviously had to go there. This LOTR location is set in a super beautiful landscape in the middle of the country with nothing else (apart from a few cows 🐄) around.Leer más

    With our south island trip nearly coming to an end, we decided to treat ourselves to a spa day. The Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools were the perfect place to do so. There were all sorts of different natural hot pools (34 - 42 °C) with different minerals like sulphur, calcium and sodium and also four really fun slides.Leer más

    Kaikoura

    4 de junio de 2020, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Our plan was to go to Kaikoura to go whale watching. Unfortunately the tours weren't going out during alert level 2. Hopefully we'll be able to come back some time.
    Instead of whale watching we went to the Kaikoura lookout and Kean Point where we saw some seals and our friends Emile and Pauline.Leer más

    Wellington Zoo

    7 de junio de 2020, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Until the end of June the entry for Wellington Zoo is for free so we, including our friends Emile and Pauline, decided now is the best time to go. We were really happy to finally see Kea's even though it wasn't in the wild and they were doing grown up things 😂 we did get to see their pretty colours though. We also saw an Emu in an open enclosure, Capybaras, running giraffes (sooo cool, they look like they're running in slow motion 😂) and otters.Leer más

    Belgian Friends

    9 de junio de 2020, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    After meeting Emile and Pauline in Auckland at the start of our travels we met up with them loads of times in the North and South Island and became good friends. We took the ferry back to Wellington together and then spent a couple of days there with them. On our last night together we did a pub quiz in the Green Man Pub and on their last day we went to the Wellington Chocolate Factory. Now they're off back to Auckland and then home.
    It was lovely meeting the two of you and we'll definitely be seeing you again, either in Belgium, Germany or somewhere else in the world ❤    Leer más

    Mittens

    13 de julio de 2020, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Mittens is a famous Wellington cat. He has an owner but during the day Mittens likes to wonder the streets of Te Aro. He loves to have people around him, goes into shops and flats, sometimes even takes elevators or jumps into cars. A couple of months ago Wellingtons mayor gave Mittens the key of the city. He is now officially called Mittens - His Royal Floofiness. The Wellington museum also put on a little exhibition on Mittens.Leer más
