Travelogues Tasman

Last week we simply forgot to include Sunday, so we're making up for it now. During our departure from the housesit, we also had to say our final goodbye to Michelle. She has...

Through mountains, beach, and dunes

Today is a day when I first need to be alone with myself. I can feel this urgently because I’m in a bad mood during the drive to Abel Tasman National Park and because of that...

Probably the most beautiful springs in the world!

After Picton we took the bus to Nelson, a small town from which I had unfortunately hoped for a little more. Actually quite cute, but unfortunately very deserted, so the...

Aotearoa! The land of the long white cloud! That's what the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, call their land. After two long flights, I arrived in Christchurch, the...

At mealtime

Tag 42 Um 7 Uhr musste man den Decks Reserve Car Park in Motueka verlassen. Oh mein Gott, wie früh. Also Wecker stellen und Wohnmobil umparken. Das machte Tim dann trotz...

On Monday morning (01.04.) we first went to Cave Stream Scenic Reserve. Here we spent 50 minutes walking through a cave, which was unique because it was entirely submerged in a...

Our efforts on the multi-day hike in Abel Tasman National Park are rewarded with unique nature and wonderful weather...

My stopover at the lake.

After we received a few requests (cautious, kind, very direct, ...) that we could finally give a sign of life again, here are pictures from the last two weeks. Although Müsli...

This week good weather has been forecasted for the north (though it may change), so I will set off in the afternoon to drive at least 2 hours north. I’ll reach Gose Bay, a few...

Sandy day at the beach and Farewell Spit.

Have you ever broken the gas cooker on a 3-day hike? We have! And it happened on the first day. But let's start from the beginning. Our hike started with a beautiful boat ride...

Day 46 When we woke up in the morning, the freedom campground "Waitapu Bridge" was almost empty again. Apparently, most people only used the place as a short stopover. Mattis...

How I finally met my parents again, why we were in Dunedin, and how we spent the last time on the South Island

Earlier than expected, we come back with new adventures. We had signed out for 30 days to advance 450km from St. Arnaud to Lake Tekapo in the south. But it only worked for 3...

Hello dear ones, As promised, today I will tell you everything about my experiences with the Abel Tasman Coastal Walk. First of all, I want to say that I can cross off one thing...

In the morning, I drive briefly over to Cape Farewell on the Tasman Sea. After a 15-minute walk, I reach the beach and can finally see the famous Windows motif in real life. Of...

A relaxed trip over water and on the beach.

When you go on a trip with a travel companion, you have to be on top of your game both strategically and tactically. Otherwise you will go under. Here are a few small examples:...

20.01.2015 When I wake up at 8:00 am, it's pouring rain. I'm getting tired of the West Coast. Today, I will drive all the way up to Abel Tasman in a long and annoying journey. I...

From the green wine region of Marlborough, it is not far to Abel Tasman National Park. On the way, we stop in Nelson for a coffee and a short break. Lisa recommended the Old...

Done!!! Behind us are 4 days, 3 nights, 38 kilometers, and a small unforgettable adventure. After booking our three campsites and a water taxi that would bring us back on the last...

My home at Golden Bay and some funny characters in the labyrinth.

As mentioned in the previous post, we took the camper and the ferry to the South Island to Tasman to Janina and Jonas. We even saw a few dolphins and a penguin during the ferry...

What is worth waiting for....! We found and bought a campervan. In retrospect, we were really lucky because the camper was the cheapest of all the ones we looked at and was also...

21.01.2015 Actually, I can sleep in, but the street noise, which reaches me in the morning despite the room being quite far back, is so annoying that I wake up early. But I get...

After a rather short night (we had to solve our water problem first, but after a phone call with a Jucy employee, we are now smarter and regularly drain our waste water 😂), we...
