I want to go home!

This trip is somehow different from my previous ones. Of course, it is longer, it is further. But that alone is not what I mean, it is more than the outwardly obvious. It is...

Dunedin and Taiaroa Head

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...

The first holidays

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...

Dunedin

I made art!

Organ Pipes

Stop three on my route to Dunedin - some more cool rocks.

Day 19 - Drive to Queenstown

In the morning, we went for a walk on the beach, then drove straight to Queenstown. Between Dunedin and Queenstown, we drove through terrain where more scenes of Rohan were...

From the lighthouse by the sea to Dunedin

By the way, Dunedin is called Ōtepoti in Maori...sounds like Offenbach.

Stones, seals & wind

After a stopover at some great, but rather unspectacular sandstone rock formations, we drive to the next boring rocks on the beach. We expected more from these semicircular...

Tunnel Beach & Dunedin

Spend the night by the sea one last time

Boxing Day and no albatrosses

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...

Total failure on Baldwin Street

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...

Catlins, Otago Peninsula and Dunedin

After returning from Stewart Island, our next destination was the Catlins - one of our favorite regions in New Zealand. The Catlins is a rainforest area on the South Coast, with...

Catlins and Dunedin

Catlins without penguins, Dunedin without penguins, but many other natural spectacles...

After a short night in Oamaru, we set off early to Dunedin as we wanted to play golf on a links course by the sea, Chisholm Links, around 10:30. Shortly after we started...

Dunedin City

Entering the new year with Senior Odhi

After about a week, we left the New Zealand Alps and headed towards the East Coast. You know the complaints about construction sites in German traffic, but at least damages are...

On the road on the Southern Scenic Route

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...

Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula

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...

Day 71 Otago Peninsula

We treated ourselves to a day off from the 'hustle and bustle' of the city on the Otago Peninsula in front of Dunedin's port. After a brief stop at dilapidated fortifications...

A wet day at the end of the world

It's raining. Unfortunately, the weather forecast was right today. And it's supposed to rain all day. So it's the perfect day to lounge on the sofa, watch TV, read, learn...

After rain comes sunshine

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...

Dunedin, the steepest street in the world

The officially steepest street in the world. Welcome to the student city of Dunedin.

Dunedin - Friday Stage

Being clever as we are, we thought we'd check if we could get a WOF (a type of vehicle inspection) for our car on Friday evening.. So we paid $50 to have it checked and found...

Getting up close with sea lions in Dunedin

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...

Dunedin, Te Anau and the Fjordland

Our journey for four starts with a drive to Dunedin. Sitting in a car with people we already know is a completely new experience after hitchhiking. On the way, we stop at a...

Between Scottish city flair and marine wildlife! - Dunedin

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....
