Visiting the 12 Apostles
30 oktober 2017, Australië ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
The 12 Apostles was completely worth the 9 hours of driving yesterday! I got in lots of left lane driving...and discovered that the Australian roundabouts are terrifying when you are both trying to figure out where you're going AND have to figure out where to exit it...on the left. Oh...and there are lots of them just to torture me.Meer informatie

Made it here safely after a very long day of adventuring yesterday on the Great Ocean Road. Took probably the most appreciated shower of my life here at the airport, grabbing breakfast and then off to pick up the camper van. Vroom vroom!Meer informatie

Milford Sound, New Zealand

Milford Sound lived up to its name as one of the most beautiful places in the world. Amy and I hopped on a Jucy cruise with Lucy the camper van's aquatic cousin while Lexi enjoyed the sights (and some quiet time) from the shore.Meer informatie

Glenorchy, New Zealand
4 november 2017, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 48 °F
Glenorchy!! One of the most beautiful drives in the world...and, for you fellow LOTR fans...location for a good chunk of the filming. The road is narrow, winding and in parts 1 lane (meaning that there really is only 1 lane for both ways of traffic)...and takes you through some of the most gorgeous views ever. Love!!!Meer informatie

After the road to Glenorchy, the girls went off canyoning and I explored Queenstown. The views from the top of the gondola run are fantastic...and lots of trails to explore. Note to self: when curiousity has you follow the paragliding signs to the launch point, remember that it's very high and the hike very steep. Whew.Meer informatie

It's a wet, cold day here in Arrowtown, NZ, but a good day for shopping in this historic mining town. Great day for the possum fur glove business...we all picked up a pair for our very cold hands!

Mt Aspiring National Park, New Zealand
5 november 2017, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 46 °F
We had a busy day exploring Mt Aspiring National Park! So much water here. Everywhere you look, there are water falls cascading down mountain sides (lots of those too!) or gorgeous lakes. Today we drove through rain, snow, more rain, hail, even more rain, crossed two mountain passes, drove from the mountains to the sea...and ended up near a glacier (Fox Glacier). There are glow worms in the vicinity, which Lexi and I are both dying to see...but after being wet and cold most of the day, we're in for the night. Tomorrow is glacier day...both Fox and Franz Josef...then maybe glow worms tomorrow night. Goodnight peeps!Meer informatie

Nice hike around the lake, although a little too much cloud cover and wind to get the famed mirror peak/lake shot. Great way to get warmed up for a day of adventure!

Fox Glacier, New Zealand

Glacierland! We started by hiking up to view Fox Glacier close up...in the pouring rain, but we were determined! The time was worth it, although the last 400 metres felt straight up...whew! Luckily, we weren't carried away by flash floods along the way.Meer informatie

ReizigerHow far was the hike in total?

ReizigerIt's actually not far...a little less than a mile in total. Just steep at the end, with "no stopping (due to rock falls) the last 400 meters.

This was one of my favorite stops on an awesome adventure-filled day. We hiked 1.5 miles to an old mining dredge from the 30's and then on to an old mining tunnel that looked out over the Tasmin Sea. Love!Meer informatie

Franz Josef glacier is definitely striking. We elected to view it from farther out as we weren't feeling up to a 6 hour hike up get as close as possible. We also found the tipping point between sheep and cows...cows are now the roadside entertainment!Meer informatie

Hokitika, New Zealand
7 november 2017, Nieuw-Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F
We spent the night in Hokitika, a very cool little beach town! Started off the morning with a walk on the gorgeous beach, complete with Whitebait fisherwomen. Whitebait is famous here...primarily made into patties. I got to see some freshly netted - think tiny, white eels with big eyes and you get the picture.

Next stop was the awe-inspiring Hokitika Gorge. I could have spent hours perched on my rock by the turquoise blue river.Meer informatie

Penguin hunting stop just north of Pancake Rocks Blowholes. No penguins, but the surf was awesome and led to the next adventure...accidental wave surfing. So I got a little soaked by a huge, surprise wave...it was fun and worth the wet clothes, shoes, bruises and scrapes. I'd do it again (but maybe get off the rocks a little sooner next time).Meer informatie
