Travelogues New Zealand

Finally, we can continue. We thought. We will enjoy the route along the coast. We thought. But then what happened changed all our plans a bit. While we arrived along the coast...

After Dunedin, we went to the Catlins where there is a small walk to the Purakanui Falls which we did. At a campsite near 'Colac Bay', we went fishing in the evening and enjoyed...

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...

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...

We arrived safely and had our first day yesterday, which of course didn't go smoothly because we couldn't open a bank account, without which we can't work. But at least the...

I'll leave this post without many words. Enjoy the pictures and let me just say: It was amazing. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you to the GoSkydive team!

After continuously traveling for the first few days, we wanted to stay at a suitable campground for a few days. We chose a small, free spot right next to a small, clear lake and...

Working with the professors was very diverse. Besides the recurring task of weeding, Tim got to cut the lawn with a brush cutter and spray trees with a wonderfully fragrant...

Today is halfway, our 31st day of travel. We're heading from Saletoga Sands Hotel to the airport. Another hour's drive on bad roads. The flight with Air New Zealand is quite...

Sunday is day off, which means no work for me today. On one hand, it's bad because I lose a whole day's worth of money, but having a day off is nice. I got lucky and a group of...

Feb 21: Let me start this post with a conclusion: flying with kids against time is not recommended. And it's not just the kids who experience jet lag. But let's start from the...

45 Minuten außerhalb von Auckland haben wir den Muriwai Beach besucht. Bekannt für seinen schwarzen Sand und die Tölpel (Vogelart) war es uns einen kurzen Besuch wert.

Christchurch again! I'm in Christchurch again. In the meantime, it was also very busy, so there was no other choice but to stay in a backpacker. Okay, I admit it, I had a...

After the eventful Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Park, we set off for Taupo. The popular holiday destination is famous for its numerous outdoor activities. You can go white-water rafting,...

Akaroa at 26 degrees, the last rays of sunshine reflecting on the water, and I feel like having Fish & Chips too. I think the last time I had them was about 25 years ago in...

Moeraki Boulders is one of many natural 'sights' on the South Island. We spontaneously stopped there. Unfortunately, it was the only place where there was a real crowd of...

So...somewhat delayed, we are reporting from New Zealand. Not because we were too lazy to write texts and select pictures, but because we simply had almost no internet access or...

Cape Reinga in the early morning and the drive south to Uretiti Beach

The Catlins are a region with impressive landscape. We are slowly running out of adjectives, how should we describe this view of the beach at Florence Hill

Already on my way and meeting up with the owner of Farewell Spit Tours. Farewell Spit is the longest sandbar in the world and a true nature reserve. You can only get there with...

Heute recherchiere ich, wo ich eine ähnliche Kamera herbekomme. Bestelle diese per click & collect zum Abholen für morgen. Hatte sie mir auch innerhalb 24 Stunden schicken...

Von Manapouri aus fahre ich weiter entlang der Scenic Route nach Süden. Hier dominiert die Rinderzucht, die Landschaft ist ein Mischung aus Allgäu und einem tropischen Paradies...

The day started like any other - we woke up right at 7:00 am and got up. Since our backpacks were already packed except for a few things, we took the time to Skype with our...

Auckland, 1.4 million inhabitants We are increasing in the size of the cities and slowly preparing ourselves to return to civilization. First, we drive to one of the many...

The relaxation in the new home was short-lived. After our hosts gave us a careless tour of the house, the shock was deep. To describe the apartment in a few words: it was a mix...

Originally, we wanted to hike at the volcano and admire the lake, but unfortunately, a cloud is stuck on the mountain. Nevertheless, we drive up the beautiful road through the...

Another beautiful sunny day starts and we head to the lookout point Mt Victoria. The drive on very narrow steep streets once again shows us that our camper is too big for a big...

Our journey continues along Highway 6 and then the country road to Motueka. Here on the country road, we get a little homesick, as the road resembles the country roads back...
