    11 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Flew into Christchurch airport early afternoon before gettin a rental car and driving to the motel. We went for a walk through the city which despite being the biggest in the south island was nice and spread out. There were electric scooters everywhere and lots of parks and playgrounds. We saw the old and new cathedrals. We bought a box with ingredients for sweet and sour pork for dinner from the equivalent of woolies but it's called countdown.Baca lagi

  • Geraldine

    12 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Had a stop at Geraldine where we went to barkers eatery and food store. We got to try their cordial flavors with sparkling water but it came from it's own little tap. We had a nice coffee break before going back on the road. I took a cool photo in the middle of a road and managed not to get run over.Baca lagi

  • Lake Pukaki

    12 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Another lake stop near Tekapo but with views of mount cook where the clouds decided to part so we could see the top. We walked along to a dam and bought some salmon sushi from a farm near mount cook.

  • Twizel

    12 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    We stayed the night in Twizel staying at a cute 2 story mountain chalet. We played on the playground and climbed the bulldozer and thumbs that made the dams. For dinner we made some cheese burgers and had the salmon and cheese for dessert.Baca lagi

    We went to the steampunk HQ which was like a fun museum and art thing with metal, machinery and old things put together. We went inside 'the portal' where there was an awesome light and mirror show. Next we went down the cute road to where the old buildings near the ocean that had been renovated to little stores. We had a coffee at a cafe and they put cinnamon on top of coffees which smells really good but bit odd when you leave it to drink at the end.Baca lagi

  • Lanarch castle

    14 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    An early trip to the Scottish castle that was on top of a hill with panoramic views of Dunedin. We went throughout the castle and read about its history. We climbed the small winding staircase to the top of the tower with great views. There were lots of gardens with lots of cute bumble bees that we walked through.Baca lagi

  • Royal albatross centre

    14 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    A short drive on very windy roads took us to the royal albatross centre. This is the only accessible albatross colony in the world but it was really expensive so we settled with the views and other wildlife. On the beach where penguins run back to every night we saw all of their wooden box houses. There were also a few seals lying around on the rocks and sand. My favorite was the one that left a trail in the sand from where he had rolled all the way down. There were also soooo many seagulls everywhere. They covered the ground and there was lots of fluffy baby ones behind a fence.Baca lagi

  • Tunnel beach

    14 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    We went on a long, steep and slightly slippery walk down the cliffs of tunnel beach to where there was a small rock tunnel carved into the mountain. Once we went through this we were on an amazing beach with stunning tall cliffside and mossy rocks and a cave. The walk back was very hot in the full sun and long clothes.Baca lagi

  • Milton (add pics)

    15 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    We went to a park by a lake and there was a slide just randomly in the middle of the lake. We all (other than bianca) went on this cool thing that's kind of like a 4 way hanging seesaw. Next we went to milton which is where dad grew up. We drove past his old green house and went on the flying fox at another park.Baca lagi

  • Gore -maccas

    15 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We had a stop over to try some kiwi maccas food. I had a double chicken mc cheese which was actually really nice. We tried the chocolate dipped ice cream and they were great but kinda messy.

  • Queenstown

    17 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    We came to queenstown and its a lot different to all the other places we have been. It has gold coast vibes but nicer. We saw a bunch of the thrill things like speed boats, skydiving and other stuff. There was a shop called cookie time which is the brand of cookies that are everywhere here. I bough a scoop of choc brownie fudge cookie dough and it comes out of tubs just like ice cream. It tasted so good but a bit too much. We went back home to our apartment with a nice veiw over the water.Baca lagi
