Taipei, Taiwan. Stopover
26 mars 2017, Taïwan ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
On my way to New Zealand I had a rather interesting stopover in Taiwan. With a disapproving face of the visaman I could eventually enter Taipei as a single woman travelling. A little bus drove us around the city for free where I did some sightseeing. My first impression of Taipei is that it's very busy and chaotic, it's a mix of dirty old buildings and historic tempels with an important religious value.En savoir plus

Auckland and around
27 mars 2017, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ 🌧 19 °C
Arriving in 'Aotearoa', the land of the long white cloud, the humid warm air overwhelmed me instantly. The kiwi's are very friendly and easy to approach, what makes my stay in Auckland very pleasant. After a few days of relaxing I went out in Auckland, the biggest city of NZ built on 45 volcanoes. A large and cosy city ranged as the 8th most liveable city in the world.
Besides the city centre, one three hill and Mount Eden I visit the beautiful Shakespear NP.En savoir plus

3 avril 2017, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
My first trip with the kiwi experience bus is a fact. This bus will take me around the country, a kind of hop on, hop off system with lots of interesting stopovers.

Cape reinga, where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman sea meets, is my first stop. The Māori believe that their spirit is travelling to Cape Reinga after they die. At this spot their spirit can say a last goodbye and take off to Polynesia, the islands of their roots.

About hobbits and the maori culture
11 avril 2017, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ 🌙 13 °C
I thought it was always sunny in the shire, unfortunately there is cyclone coming towards us that makes it a bit wetter these days. Despite this it was nice to wander in the beautiful movie set of the lord of the rings.

Saw the haka for the first time in the tamaki maori village, very impressive. The haka is a type of ancient Māori war dance traditionally used on the battlefield, as well as when groups came together in peace. Haka are a display of a tribe's pride, strength and unity.En savoir plus

This feels like the real New Zealand, intense green mountains draw off the coastline. Kayaking on the sea with lots of seals swimming around me. This is a place where I chill out on the beach and do some hikes after a busy week with the kiwi bus.En savoir plus

Again a remote place situated between the ocean and a beautiful lake. What do we need more than watching the sunset drinking tasty kiwi wine? Closing the night watching a sky full of stars.

Mirror lake

Mirror lake or lake Matheson reflects Mt cook and Mt tasman so intensely because of the reflective layer on the water created by a fluid flowing from the surrounding trees into the lake.

Autumn arrived in Wanaka, this cozy little town and lake are surrounded with yellow coloured trees and high mountain tops. I left this place with very sore legs after doing the Roys peak track, a 22 km long walk with an elevationgrade of 1230m.

Milford sound, also known as the valley of hundred waterfalls, is one of many fiords in Fiordland. This breathtaking place is declared as a world heritage site with cliffs up to 1200 m rising out of the dark water. I'm staying here for two days with the purpose to dive. Due to a natural phenomenon called 'deep water emergence,' deep-water animals can be seen in the shallow waters what makes it an unique place to dive. Unfortunately it was cancelled, but I got a free boat ride through Milford Sound instead.En savoir plus

Landscape is changing again while we're going to the most southern point of New Zealand. We drive and walk through the rain forest to visit a beautiful waterfall. Going through the Catlins was all about spotting wildlife. We where lucky to see the yellow eyed penguins beside the sea-lions and the little Hector's dolphins. This is definitely a magical birthday that ended in Dunedin with a good glass of wine and some Chinese food.En savoir plus

Queenstown, aka 'the party city' of New Zealand is an expensive city located next to lake Watakipu and surrounded by mountains with a population consisting out of 1 kiwi on 15 inhabitants. Lots of partying, eating fergburgers (truly the best) and hot cookies is how I spent my time here.En savoir plus

Definitely one of the most beautiful places in New Zealand. We hitchhiked through the mountains from Twizel to a little city called Aoraki situated at the foot of Mount Cook. Here it's al about hiking. The Meuller hut track brought us to a hight of 1800m, a track with an elevation gain of 1000m and 2200 steps. This is the most exhausting and at the same time the most rewarding track I did so far.En savoir plus
