Travelogues Picton

Bipi goes Kiwi.... .... when I saw a report about the Marlborough Sounds on TV about 10 years ago, I wished I could go there, but I didn't really think it was possible. And now...

Wonderful panorama after I woke up and as the hour went on it became brighter and warmer. I stood at the railing with my mouth open and watched the beautiful landscape... The...

It started like a normal vacation day. The first hike to the viewpoint over Picton at 9 a.m. Once again we went up the mountain, because somehow all the viewpoints in the world...

So today we took the ferry from Wellington to Picton. Be there an hour before departure at the latest and we just about made it. No problem with the navigation system, but the...

The rest of the South Island, this description is a bit understated. No inspiration to write is more accurate. So: from Wanaka to Vox Glacier, which is not accessible (for...

In the morning, after 12 days in Takaka, the rain finally caught up with me again. It's only drizzling lightly though. And while it rained at varying intensities during the...

We have arrived and getting off the ferry was much faster than getting on. Since we were dog tired, we found a place where we could sleep standing up. When I woke up, Pascal was...

Last stop auf der Südinsel ist Picton. Ein sehr überschaubarer Ort der aber der Ausgangspunkt für die Fahrt mit der Fähre auf die Nordinsel ist. Hier haben wir zwei Tage...

After a long walk in the National Park, we headed to Nelson. To take a break, we stayed at the closest caravan park for two nights. Since we are now 'Top 10 members', we receive...

Departure for the ferry is shortly after 6 o'clock. Due to the already heavy rush hour traffic to Wellington at the port, it takes just under an hour. Check-in is easy. Everyone...

A report from the West and North Coast of the South Island

Hello dear ones, here I am again. Today there is really not much to tell, because we had a cozy day today, meaning we slept until 8:30 am, had a leisurely breakfast and packed...
