First of all, it's time to say 'Bye Bye' to the wonderful, impressive South Island. We had a great time and can't believe we only have 10 days left in New Zealand. The ferry...

Wow, we're in a city. Even with only around 47,000 inhabitants, Nelson feels like a big city to us. Since Christchurch, we haven't seen a proper city. But it's so peaceful and...

We start the day with cloudy skies like yesterday. To do the most popular part of the Great Walk, we take the cruise along the entire park and back to Medlands Bay. From here we...

Arrived at the viewpoint, corkscrew, Kaiteriteri
