    We also wondered around town and saw some neoclassical buildings, the Victorian Precinct and a pretty cool playground.Les mer

    Steampunk HQ

    30. mai 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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.Les mer

    Mount Cook

    31. mai 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 5 °C

    Mount Cook was beautiful. We walked the Hooker Valley Track and enjoyed every bit of it. We got to see the snow capped Mount Tasman and Mount Cook, the highest mountain in NZ. The track ended at the mostly frozen Hooker Lake.Les mer

    Edoras

    2. juni 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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.Les mer

    Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools

    3. juni 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    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.Les mer

    Kaikoura

    4. juni 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 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.Les mer

    Wellington Zoo

    7. juni 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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.Les mer

    Belgian Friends

    9. juni 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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 ❤    Les mer

    Mittens

    13. juli 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 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.Les mer
