Now it has really happened, we have to go home. The short stopover in Singapore is a bit of a culture and heat shock. Just a few days ago, we were quietly observing the blue...

Hier die Liste der Unterkünfte, die uns am besten gefallen haben: (für unseren nächsten Tripp oder andere Reisende :-)) New Plymouth: Kind and Queen Hotel Suites - schön...

After celebrating our 20 days on the motorcycle and the 4044.4km with a dinner last night, we are a bit helpless this morning without bikes. Something is missing and actually we...

One last time in the morning, packing the motorcycles for the final 330 km stage to Christchurch. The temperatures today were okay, but that wind again. The route took us north,...

So, to get around to Christchurch in the end, we have to go back to the Pacific. So a little bit south again and then through the hills to the east. First thing in the morning,...

After a classic NZ breakfast (Eggs Benedict... very tasty), today we head back a bit and along Lake Pukaki to the highest mountain in NZ, Mt Cook. Unfortunately, it doesn't...

We slowly have to head towards Christchurch so that we don't miss the drop-off and our flight, um, although, we could stay here a bit longer, but no, or maybe, let's see ;) So...

We start from Dunedin on the east coast back inland, rain! It's only drizzling right now, and since the forecast looks good, we're going without rain gear. Unfortunately, it...

Morgens gestartet mit 25 Grad und kurzen Hosen. Wildlifetour mit fliegenden Albatrossen, Delfinen, diverse Seevögel (in Massen :-), Robben, schwarze Schwäne, Seelöwen, Pinguinen...

Von Queenstown an die Ostküste nach Dunedin. Wir sind viel gefahren und es wurde richtig warm, um nicht zu sagen heiß. Wieder ganz andere Landschaften, als wir bisher gesehen...

Ein wirklicher Tag ohne Motorräder, haben wir lange dran überlegt wie wir zum Milford Sound kommen. Ein kleiner Tip von ner Reisebekanntschaft, BBQ Bus Tour zum Sound mit...

Today it was difficult to choose just a few pictures ... so many great impressions and landscapes. First an adrenaline tour with a jet boat in a gorge. We got a bit wet, but it...

First things first: no rain gear needed today! That lifts the mood :-) Only a short distance from Wanaka to Queenstown, less than 100km (almost not worth getting on the scooter...

No wonder everything is so green here. It rains a lot :( Started off in the morning with rain gear - at least we could still catch a glimpse of Fox Glacier (from afar). Then...

After the day ended with sunshine yesterday, it rained this morning. So, I put on my rain gear, but when I started riding, the sun came out. However, it was still worth it, as...

But it was worth it. We're exhausted, but the scenery was amazing, endless roads and valleys in the mountains, rushing rivers and then the sea. One huge bay after another with...

We start with a water taxi, it drops us off at one of the many bays, and then we hike to the next bay where we will be picked up again. You can feel the South Pacific atmosphere...

After the fjord at Picton, a few detours into some fjords and bays, many curves but good weather, almost 25 degrees, too warm for us to ride a motorcycle. Then on to Abel Tasman...

Ferry departs at 6 am, but unfortunately the ferry is delayed and we only leave at 10:30 am. But blue sky and warm weather. Finally on the South Island after 4 hours, going to...

Wonderful b&b, starting in full rain gear. After the first stage, the rain stops, sun comes out, but there is wind wind wind again. Final destination Wellington with lots...

Today on the way south, passing by the coast, and enjoying the great view. The sun is shining, but the wind is blowing with all its might from the sea, probably 40 to 60km/h,...

Overnight at one of the most deserted places in New Zealand, Ohura, very special, but a real experience. Then it goes on the Forgotten World Highway, 120km, four hours of...

Today we continue towards the west, it is becoming more rural. The weather is not so good for us at first, with the altitude the temperature drops to 8 degrees, heated grips...

Away from the coast to the inland. Volcanoes, geysers and then Mount Doom. What a panorama.

A bit chilly but good to drive. Not bad for jet lag. 👌

13 hours on the plane with enough space it's actually fine, then the sun rises over the date line, next day, and then breakfast at 36,000 feet.
