Travelogues Wellington

We spent the week together with Michelle and Anne and we had a really nice time together! On Monday, we did a coastal hike - the Paekakariki Escarpment Track. It was an...

On Monday, our travels finally continued in earnest. After we had already driven to Napier on Sunday, we could start the morning super relaxed with a view of the ocean. After...

On foot

Emotional chaos

Hello everyone. I have been a bit lazy with photography the last few days. Thanks to Beate, I finally had some good bread in New Zealand and a proper breakfast. It seems one...

Another long travel day is ahead (from Kaikoura to Picton, and then back to Wellington by ferry). My head is pounding after a short night despite the paracetamol, and I just...

Upon arriving in Wellington, it was time to park the car (next time I best not park incorrectly -100$) and pack the backpack for the hostel. I spent the first 3 nights at the...

After the Christmas holidays, I initially continued alone for 3 days. On the east coast, I checked out Castlepoint and tried surfing, but the waves were too high. In Masterton,...

So, I'm checking in again after two months. A lot has happened during this time – full working weeks and even fuller weekends, adorned with challenges and emotional highs and...

Before I drove to Wellington, I visited TJ in Lower Hutt. I had met TJ at Castlepoint, and when he found out that I would be taking the ferry from Wellington to Picton a few...

On the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail, traveling through the small wine towns of Masterton, Carterton, Greytown, and Martinborough, I continued towards the southern coast with...

In the student city of Palmerston North, I visited the Te Manawa Museum. I found the exhibit about our solar system particularly interesting, especially because it included...

The capital of New Zealand - Wellington - has a significant issue with cars and parking spaces. I actually wanted to go to the Museum of New Zealand, which is said to be...

The next morning I got up early, packed my things, filled up the tank, and for the first time tried to refill my water tank at a gas station. Fortunately, Rainer had picked out...

The way is blocked. It was laid by those who are dead and the dead hold it. The way is blocked.

A visit to Rivendell - I felt like one of the companions.

The nerd in me had a really great day in Wellington.

Let's explore the City! A day in the capital city of New Zealand.

Home is where your heart is!

I visited a sanctuary for native animals and plants where great efforts are being made to preserve or restore the original flora and fauna from before the conquest and...

I took the cable car to the highest point in Wellington and had a beautiful view of the harbour and the city. The old cable car, see photo, is in the museum and used to take...

The moral commotion on the harbor tour: a shitty traffic light man woman!

First a picture-perfect sunrise, then a fresh breeze around your nose - from Napier to Welliongton.

In the morning we drive to Picton and sit in the harbor with a coffee. We're trying to plan our remaining weeks on the North Island. We don't succeed so well and we decide to...

We arrive in Wellington late in the evening and spend the night in a terrible parking lot. It's right on the main street, it's full to capacity and a guy next to us is talking...

Tomorrow we're going on the ferry, today New Zealand's capital

Simply a great day at the southernmost point of the North Island

The sun moves on - and so do we. Short stop at Te Mata Peak, high above Hawke's Bay

The capital of New Zealand is Wellington and not Auckland. Just like Canberra is the capital of Australia and not Sydney. (and also like back then in Germany, Bonn and not...

“Must have one” is written on the number plate. And when you look at the car you can easily see that it must be a car enthusiast. Apparently you can freely configure the license...
