In Auckland, the main goal was to sell the car as best as possible. For this, we first posted the car on various Facebook pages, unfortunately with moderate success. Then we...

Our last stop in New Zealand (after Fiji) was the so-called Northland (as the name suggests, it is located in the northernmost part of New Zealand). For the Northland, we had a...

From Hamilton, we finally headed to Auckland. On April 1st (no April Fool's joke), it was time to go to Fiji. When we got off the plane, we were hit hard. At least 100% humidity...

From the south of the North Island, we slowly made our way back to Auckland via Napier and Taupo. On our way to Auckland, we also stopped by Hamilton. Unfortunately, we missed...

We continued from Wellington to Cape Palliser. There was a proper lighthouse there. But you had to climb almost 300 steps to get to the top. The view was wonderful, you could...

After Kaikoura, we slowly made our way back to Picton, where our ferry back to the North Island departed. Since it was raining for the next few days, there wasn't much to do...

After Christchurch, we continued on to Kaikoura. However, getting there was anything but fun. There are a total of 3 roads to Kaikoura, but one was closed due to a recent...

We then made our way to Christchurch after Edoras. In Christchurch, there were surprisingly many construction sites, as the effects of the heavy earthquake six years ago are...

Next, we went to a Lord of the Rings filming location. After over half an hour of gravel road, we were very happy when we finally arrived at the hill of Rohan where the city of...

After visiting Mount Cook National Park, we then went to Lake Tekapo because it has the most beautiful night sky in the world. Of course, we not only wanted to see it but also...

Then we headed to Omamata to the Mount Cook National Park (=highest mountain in New Zealand). The weather there was very good, even too good for our taste. Because 30 degrees...

After spending quite a long time in the 'wilderness,' we decided to visit a larger city again. So, we headed to Dunedin. In Dunedin itself, besides the very, very stressful...

We continued southward along the coast. There were many beautiful places and plenty of free camping spots. At Curio Bay, we finally saw dolphins. Hector dolphins, the smallest...

From Glenochy we continued to Te Anau via Lumsden - the gateway to Milford Sounds. Since we are budget travelers, we booked a cruise for Milford Sounds at 9 o'clock in the...

We then made our way to Wanaka from the west coast. Finally arriving in a larger city, we were initially stressed by all the hustle and bustle there. In Wanaka, we struggled up...

Westport From the sunny Golden Bay, we continued south along the wild West Coast (the rainiest and least populated region in New Zealand). After an adventurous drive with many...

Nach einer sehr erholsamen Nacht in unserem Auto sind wir dann ganz in den Norden von der Südinsel gefahren. Dort gab es unter andrem Schafe, Kühe, grüne Hügel, Felsen, Felsen...

As a multi-day hike is simply part of the New Zealand adventure, and because the Abel Tasman National Park is one of the most beautiful national parks in the world, we thought...

Upon arriving on the South Island, our car demanded attention right away. It was rattling and smelling like hot oil (or something similar), so we tried to find an open workshop....

Since we didn't want to spend New Year's Eve in the middle of nowhere, we rented a house/villa in Wellington with 8 other people over New Year's Eve. The view from the house...

After Christmas, we did the famous Tongariro Crossing together with friends from Auckland. Apparently, we weren't the only ones who had the idea to do it on that day, as the...

Since we hadn't had enough of the wonderful smell of rotten eggs and since Te Puia (another sulfur park) was practically on the way to Taupo (where we wanted to be on...

The next morning, we finally started our most strenuous hike. The Pinnacles Rocks is a rock formation on a mountain. The path there was extremely difficult and dangerous. After...

The next day, we drove along Route 309 near Coromandel Town, a famous road (but not a well-developed road, no, the road didn't even have asphalt, only gravel, and it wasn't...

The next morning we drove further north to the so-called Cathedral Cove, a rock formation known from movies like Narnia. Next to this rock formation, there were many other...

As we rented a house/villa together with 8 other people over New Year's and therefore have internet, there are a few new blog posts again. So after our time with Katharina and...

As mentioned before, we are staying with a couple near Whakatane for about two weeks, more or less voluntarily. The couple consists of: - Katharina: around 57 years old,...

So since our credit cards were blocked due to the robbery and unfortunately can no longer be unblocked, our main concerns for the next time were: - spending as little money as...

I'm going on an adventure!!

In order to digest the shock of yesterday's day, we went hiking in the Redwood Forest the next day. The Redwood Forest is an artificially created forest with plenty of hiking,...
