Lake Rotoroa
28 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
After a nice breakfast with some bloody Sandflys, I left the campground shortly past 10 am and started to drive to Picton.

My first stop was Lake Rotoroa, one of the lakes in the Nelson Lakes National Park.

I passed here last time I was here but never stopped so now it was definitely time for that!
I took a short walk through the forest closed to the lake that was really nice, but the Sandflys here are really nasty so I didn’t stay so long.Baca lagi

Just a short drive from Lake Rotoroa is Lake Rotoiti.
Here I stayed longer as the Sandflys are not so bad here and after a one hour walk beside the lake I had my lunch break here as well. Had to be on my watch all the time as some ducks got really interested in my sandwich 🙈😂

Then I was driving the last 1 1/2 hours to Picton where I arrived in the afternoon.
It was nice to have the rest of the afternoon free and not drive until the evening again today.
The weather is still really good, but it got a little bit cloudy during the evening.Baca lagi

Karaka Point
29 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
This morning I woke up to a lot of clouds but it’s still pretty warm.
I had a good breakfast and had then some hours left until I had to check in to the ferry to Wellington. So I went for a little drive around the area and was ending up at Karaka Point for a short walk.

After that, I stopped at the marina as well to take a look at all the boats and then I went to fuel up my car, it’s really cheap here!!! The cheapest fuel I found so far!

And then I found a little truck that was selling ice cream and frozen yogurts and I was ending up with a really good frozen yogurt before I had to go to the ferry terminal.
I checked in at 1 pm and had to wait until 1.40 pm to drive onto the ferry.
We actually left at 2 pm instead of 2.15 as we were already done so early with loading up!
It’s also not so full as it was on last time, so that’s really nice!

I got a nice place to sit at and as it was still so cloudy I was deciding that it’s not worth it to go outside and take pictures. At least it’s not blowing ad the sea conditions are really good!

It took 3 1/2 hours to reach Wellington and I was one of the last cars to leave the ferry.
I had around 1 1/2 hours of driving left informs of me, as I decided to stay in Carterton overnight, highly recommended from Lena 😉, on my way to the East coast!
I also got a new friend, according to some people here on the campground I got a new friend for my life 😉Baca lagi

Pekapeka Wetlands
30 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
I woke up from the rain dropping on my car 😬

But I must say, the tape is definitely helping and I could not see any water coming in 💪🏼
Ok, it was not raining soo much but I am happy anyway.
The weather forecast ist not to bad either, it should stop around early lunchtime.

So I had a good breakfast, of coarse my new friend the cat was around again 😉🥰
Cut little one and so in love with everyone that spends some time with her.

I then drove into the town to buy some more tape, better I have some around when I need it!
I also need my shopping and then left Carterton to drive to Hastings.

As it was still raining I didn’t stop in the beginning.
And so I was actually already almost in Hastings when I stopped for the first time.
The Pekapeka Wetlands was a nice little stop beside the roads.
I took a short walk here and then went actually straight to Te Awanga where I will spend the night.
It got pretty hot during the day and it’s over 30 degrees now, so I was just not feeling for more adventures.
I found an old but nice little campground here and as the owner could not change my 50$ note I got it even cheaper than the normal price.
So I paid 10$ instead of 15$. Sometimes you need to be lucky 😉

I got a spot right beside the beach and spend the rest of the day planning the next days.
Here are living a lot of cats and dogs so I got a lot of animals around me to pet what I really enjoyed!
I miss Snoopy really much and I am happy when I can borrow some other dogs for a little while.

When I came back from dinner I saw this amazing sunset over the ocean, so I just left my stuff in the car and went to the beach.Baca lagi

Te Mata Peak
31 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
I woke up early enough to check out the sunrise but it wasn’t as good as the sunset yesterday.
I tried to sleep a bit more but around 7 am it started to blow and it got quick to a storm.
So I got up around 8 in the end to get some breakfast. It just got worst and worst and I was wondering if I would be able to do anything today.

Luckily I don’t need to check out at 10 am here, I can stay as long as I want. So I decided to wait a little bit and see what’s going to happen as the weather forecast said it should get better around early lunchtime, but blowing throughout the whole day.

Around 11 am it was getting much better and I decided it’s time to leave now.

I went to Cape Kidnappers as I wanted to the cliffs up closed. But unfortunately, the track is closed at the moment because the cliff is not stabil. 😕

So the first real stop for today is at Te Mata Peak.

Nice to be able to drive up to the top when it’s so hot 🙈
Yes today I am a little bit lazy.
But it’s getting really hot now, supposed to be 35 degrees today!! 🥵
The wind makes it easier to handle I can say.

The view from the top was awesome, the wind horrible. 🙈😂
So I didn’t stay too long up here and went back down.Baca lagi

Waimarama Beach and Maraetotara Falls
31 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
The next stop for today was at Waimarama Beach. Beautiful beach with a nice island in front of it!

I was thinking back and forward here, if I should go for a swim or not, but was deciding against it in the end as it's quite a rough sea with the wind and knew I can go and swim and a waterfall soon.
It also was a bit colder here at the beach, which was really nice!

So I didn't stay so long, had a quick lunch and then went to the Maraetotara Falls. It was just around 25 minutes to drive from the beach there.
It was a big problem to find a place to park the car. So many cars here already and such a small carpark. But I found a space where I could squeeze into.
It was a 10 minutes walk down to the river and the waterfall. And this one is definitely well known!
Many people here, a lot of families but also many dogs 🥰
I got a new friend, a black Labrador that was very happy and came to say hello a few times.

Well, I then went for a swim. Opps the water was muuuuch colder than expected 😱

I was not the only one that got shocked. 🙈😬
But I really wanted to cool down and go for a swim, I wanted it so desperately that I went in!!
It took me a while but I went in for a fast swim and ten I got out again!
It was cold but anyway really nice.

I was sitting down in the shade for a while to get dry, talked with a family, the owners of my new dog friend until it was time to get going again.

I then went to my next campground. It a little bit outside of Napier in a nice and quiet place 😊
It was so hot during the evening and never really cooled down. The wind stopped during the evening and had really hard to fall asleep, as it was so hot, so in the end, I had the windows all open and the truck as well 🙈😂
So I managed to fall asleep at least.Baca lagi

Tangoio Walkway
1 Februari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
It was already or maybe I most say still pretty warm in the morning. I had my breakfast in the shadow as sitting outside in the sun is impossible!

I left around 10 am and was just hoping that the weather forecast for today is right and it's not getting hotter than 30 degrees 🤞🏼😅

The first stop for me on the way to Gisborne was at the Tongoio Walkway.

Here are two waterfalls within a few minutes of walking. The first one was very easy to reach and a famous swimming spot.

For the second one, I need to climb up a quite steep path for around 15-20 minutes to come to the lookout. A couple recommended walking to the redwood forest, only 30 minutes from the lookout so I did that. It was a really nice walk and the forest was beautiful. A lot of big and old trees and so many birds and also goats around!
Yes, goats! I was also surprised when there was suddenly a goat standing in front of me 😂😉

They are super scared and I was just seeing them max for one second until they were gone again in the bushes.

It started to get really warm now so I went back to the car to keep on going.

There I met another couple, from Rotorua and they have me some nice tips, where to go and what to do around here!Baca lagi

Road to Gisborne and Te Reinga Falls
1 Februari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
The road is a really scenic drive!
Unfortunately not so many possibilities to stop and take a picture as the landscape is so beautiful everywhere.

But I managed to stop a few times at least!

The last waterfall for today was the Y
Te Reinga Falls, just a short walk away from the road!
Super cool waterfalls but hard to get a nice view of them as you would need to climb over a fence to get a better view and picture, what I did. 🙊😅

No one was there, no one saw it! And it was worth it!

After that, I went straight to Gisborne as it already was quite late.
The first campground I passed looked already from the main road like a real hippie camp, and I was just not feeling for that today! 🙈😬

The next one was unfortunately already closed so I had only one left, the expensive one...
Or the hippie camp.
No, no hippies today so I went to the top 10 campground right beside the beach! That's nice.

The rest of the evening was calm with a way to hot shower... 🥵
The temperature is fixed here and 42 degrees is way to hot for a shower when it's over 30 degrees outside!!!
I wanted a cold shower, but that was impossible to get...Baca lagi

Shine Falls
1 Februari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
This drive took a bit longer than expected and also the walk was longer than expected. It was standing it's a 2 hours return trip, but I heard from people it should only be 20 min one way.

Do be prepared for all, I had a little bit of lunch. Not so easy to eat something when it is so warm. Then I filled up my water bottle and packed down some crackers, just in case.

In the end, it took me 30 minutes to the waterfall and 25 minutes back. So pretty easy track, so steeper parts but nothing serious.

The waterfall is so stunning! It's called the most beautiful waterfall in Hawkes Bay!Baca lagi
