While still in Te Anau, we decide to drive along the Southern Scenic Route in the next few days to spend our last days in New Zealand before we drop off Klaus-Gunther in...
07/11 - 09/11 After a few days in the mountains, I was really in the mood for some urban hustle and bustle. That's why we drove across the country to the east coast to Dunedin....
Today, Ralf and I woke up relaxed and eventually made our way to the sea with Heike, which is only 100 meters away. It was low tide, so we could walk very far out in this huge...
I made art!
Stop three on my route to Dunedin - some more cool rocks.
There are 3 factors that largely determine a New Zealand vacation. WEATHER, WEATHER, WEATHER. Today it was bad and it was raining at around 10 degrees. Weather like it is...
Hello dear ones, I continue with my adventures in Dunedin. Yesterday on 02.09.2017 I arrived in this city and I don't really know how to describe it yet. But before I try, I...
Beach visit in Dunedin.
Because I somehow missed uploading a blog post yesterday (well, to be honest: I didn't feel like it), this post will be quite long, with lots of information about the city of...
This morning, in bed, we found it really sad that you can't take hotel rooms with you. Just let the air out, pack it up, and inflate it again where you want to stay. Like a...
Meanwhile, the first term that we have been here is over, and with that, the first holidays were also due. The first Monday was still a 'makeup day' for the one Monday in August...

Train station in Dunedin
December 26th is Boxing Day. It has nothing to do with the sport but with the box. In the 19th century It was probably customary in the Commonwealth for domestic servants to...
Day 18 The day today flew by with the feeling of not having done anything. In fact, we didn't do much exciting today. We had breakfast at our sleeping place, admired cows,...
Dunedin....Dunedin....Danieden? We had to try a bit to figure out exactly how to pronounce this city and finally decided to go with the simple German reading. Decently wrong, as...
About the time in our second home
We set off for Dunedin early in the morning, enjoyed some good cappuccino, and searched for street art, which we found…! The Public Art Gallery had only a few interesting...
On the drive from Moeraki to Dunedin, we made several stops. On February 5th, we visited the Moeraki Boulders again. But this time, we didn't visit them at low tide. The tide...

Milford Sound As fate would have it, luck has once again deserted us and we didn't have the best weather for our excursion. But first, it was a matter of waking up at 5...
By the way, Dunedin is called Ōtepoti in Maori...sounds like Offenbach.
Dunedin was meant to remind Scottish immigrants of their homeland and is now the fifth largest city in New Zealand.
When I posted my...
