Hamilton
15 de dezembro de 2016, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Hamilton city has a beautiful park with a collection of thematic gardens. Although it was a bit rainy it was an amazing visit!

The collection of restaurants here was amazing as well! Victori Street is overloaded with choices ....and after too many Fish&Chips stops during the last weeks we indulged in the more exotic kitchens :-)

Donkey was specially happy about the “Samurai Sizzle“ a newly opened japanese place, with fantastic live cooking (Teppanyaki).
All the best for them!

Bridal Veil Falls
14 de dezembro de 2016, Nova Zelândia ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
A waterfall so perfectly falling for 55m that an impression of a veil is created....unless it s a windy day ;-)

The nearby sufer paradise Raglan looked fantastic, but in the rainy weather we went on to Hamilton.
Here Donkey could post his Santa Claus mail!Leia mais

Hot Water beach
13 de dezembro de 2016, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Te Puia Springs
....so so great!!! And difficult to describe by pictures!
At this beach you dig a muddy pool in the sand and enjoy the warm water underneath. Up to 45°C let you cook nicely. wow

The Bay itself is a wonderful colour set of blue and green, simply beautiful.

On the way up north (ahh yep....no time for the south island).....we passed the 3 ,sisters`
a rock formation you can visit at low tide.
...and next to them sits an elephant!

Dinner was in this really interesting Pub in Kawhia...
Although there was so much sand to eat today with the stormy weather, it was a surprise we were still hungry!Leia mais

Donkey stayed safe and tugged away, while the real adventure was taking place in ice-rain!
...during a short break, at least some pics were shot.
Cool!

Hot coffee was a high demand afterward!

on the Surfer Highway

On the search for the vulcano Mt. Egmont (or Taranaki) Donkey saw a lot of lava stones on the beach, but only a short glimpse of the majestic snow tip...

....then the Rain started !

Wine :-)
8 de dezembro de 2016, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Napier
....in this place we finally got some wine tasting (and some Rain) It was very nicely done and we got some new flavours to know ;-)
With all the recomondations what to drink on a hot Xmas day we left the Hawkes Bay and went over to the other coast.

Whanganui
...and here we drank the wine :) The city has a cuty center with many shops and boutiques. In theory great place for shopping, BUT...everything closed at 5! So: cheese and wine in the motel ;-)
Donkey was very happy!!!Leia mais

into the wild
7 de dezembro de 2016, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Taking the (old) state highway from Rotorua to Napier we wanted to see the wildest forest with the Lake Waikaremoana and the even more amazing waterfalls...
We got to see it all!

And more: 40km of unsealed road included a lot of DUST and many hours in the little green box -lolLeia mais

Falls, Springs and Lakes
6 de dezembro de 2016, Nova Zelândia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
....a water day in full sunshine!

the lake district around Rotorua is wide spread and full of walks between all different waters: Creeks, springs, rivers and lakes (and of course the smelly pools!).
Craving for fresh water experiences we set out to see the deepest spring in NZ: Hamurana springs and nearby the dancing sand spring!

The second spot was the Okere Falls wirh 5 different fall steps and finally a peaceful stop at the lake Rotoiti....

...and maybe now: to the Hotel pool ;-)Leia mais
