Travelogues New Zealand

Grandios.

Freedom Camping at Lake Rotomanu The day starts with rain and the weather forecast does not look good for us today, so we inquire about indoor activities: bowling it is. But...

Horahora Domain in Piarere After a restful sleep, we quickly make our way to the next campsite to secure a spot. During the drive, we find a beautiful campsite right on Lake...

Waiomu Domain We get up extra early today to have the problem fixed as quickly as possible at a workshop in Thames. After being turned away from the first four workshops, we...

Matarangi For this day, we plan to visit Hot Water Beach in the afternoon and Cathedral Cove in the evening. However, our camper van is not cooperating as we would like. The day...

Ngatea Panelbeaters Ltd., Ngatea Not much has happened today, just like yesterday: We've been sitting on the premises since 7 a.m., passing the time. Around 6 p.m., our little...

On the way back from the West Coast to Picton, we visited the Nelson Lakes. The first lake was Lake Rotoroa. We went for a little swim in this lake to cool off.

From Christchurch over the Arther Pass to the West Coast. I arrived in Hokitika in bright sunshine, which doesn't seem to always be the case here. I still got a room in a very...

This lake was also on the way to Milford Sound. The mountains were beautifully reflected in the Mirror Lake.

The first few days were spent on Working Holiday obligations! We now have a New Zealand phone number and a bank account. In the next few days, we will also receive our tax...

Naval Point, Lyttelton, Christchurch Today, we want to explore the city center of Christchurch. During the two hours we spend in the city center, we will visit another memorial,...

Lowburn Harbour, Cromwell At 10 am sharp, we are at the first market in Frankton - a suburb of Queenstown. It's relatively small, but very interesting and creative. Then we go...

Today we visited the longest suspension bridge in New Zealand.

Cobden Shipwreck Point, Greymouth Eigentlich gar nicht so schlimm an einen Ort gebunden zu sein, wenn sich das Auto vorerst nicht bewegen lässt. Einziges Problem ist leider der...

In the past few weeks in Nz, it's been a lot of hard work, work, work. Every day, 1000t of potatoes roll past us on a conveyor belt. Our task is to sort out everything that is...

After fleeing from Waihi, I arrived in Tauranga around 8pm and immediately headed towards the city center to find a restaurant. The place reminds me a bit of Timmendorf, I don't...

We found a small church right by the sea on our way to Eastcape.

The second lake was Lake Rotoiti. However, we only stopped there for a short break.

As Markus would say: Pear in Donut

I think it's hard to find a restaurant that's open everywhere on Sundays. That was also the case for me in Westport. Arriving at 6pm, the place resembled a ghost town. I only...

And always stunning views of the snow-covered mountains.
