Travelogues Nelson

After six months of our journey, we have now arrived in the country that is furthest from home: New Zealand. Despite the geographical distance, we feel closer to Germany here than...

We were actually prepared for the fact that the internet on the South Island is expected to be slower and we won't be able to upload quite as many photos. But we found a really...

Oh, what a sentimental line of song lyrics for this post, which also talks about a ferry ride. But what can I say, I felt about that sentimental on the same ferry. Our plans to...

Arrived at the Beachcomber Hotel in Nelson on the last stretch after a two hour drive through the mountains.

As already reported, we had to postpone our first planned kayak trip due to storm and heavy rain. Instead, we set off for the first stage of the TA Trails on the South Island -...

Art & culture in the city and being on the beach.

After the hike, it's known that before the next hike there is a break, and I was already eyeing the next multi-day hike: the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. Before that, I wanted to...

We are leaving Atlantis and heading to Nelson, the supposedly sunniest place on the whole island. Of course, we want to visit the beautiful beach and Abel Tasman National Park....

01/22/2015 Once again, I wake up with an alarm to have the room cleared by 10:00 am. The sky has dark clouds with the sun shining behind them. So I apply sunscreen and see how...

The highlight of the day: the hike to Wharariki Beach, across meadows, pastures and dunes... to where Mr. Windows lives.

After the past few days at the beautiful "Golden Bay", as the northernmost region of the South Island of New Zealand is also often called, we took our next longer stay in...

Actually, we only stopped in Nelson because after the ferry crossing to the South Island, we didn't know exactly where to stop before the Abel Tasman Track. And.......as it...

We only passed through Nelson on the way, so we stayed here for 2 days. Since there was no campground near the city, we took a double room in a backpacker. It was called 'The...

Tuesday the 24th til Monday the 30th of December: After arriving in Wellington, we treated ourselves to a nice Christmas dinner: Oysters 😊 The next two days I went to the...

Hello dear ones, Today we got up early again to go hiking. We were done at 9:45 a.m., packed the car and checked out. The goal was to hike the Snout Track, which leads to the...

Merry Christmas from the other side of the world

Nelson is the gateway to the north of the South Island with the Abel Tasman National Park. On the way here we spontaneously had an escort.

We have arrived on the South Island!!! We will inform you about Wellington and the ferry ride on our way back. The South Island is truly, as everyone has told us, diverse and...

17.02.2020 We woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning. Shortly after, we went to the water taxi at around 9 o'clock, which took us to Bark Bay. It was quite funny because the water...

Such a day, so beautiful like today, such a day should never end... After many rainy days, Nelson finally lives up to its reputation as the sunniest city in New Zealand and...

ERGOS New Zealand trip

Arriving in Nelson, we went to the information center, grabbed some flyers, and then went to our accommodation right in the city center! After that, we went shopping,...

Today, a weather warning was actually issued, but the sky is only overcast and even clears up from time to time. Perfect to visit the Brook Sanctuary, right? No! As if a...

Departure to the West Coast of the South Island to Charleston, saying goodbye to Marlborough Sound in beautiful weather. The drive along State Highway 6 was once again...

That was really exciting again! And at my age. I don't need that more often. First of all, it was fate, inspiration, guardian angel or whatever you want to call it. Yesterday I...

Bus ride and relax by the pool in Christchurch - Nelson - Picton - Wellington

Before heading from Picton to Wellington on the ferry, we make a short detour to Nelson and the Marlborough Sounds. We have a cool campground and time to play on the beach. Just...

Crossing from the North Island to the South Island in New Zealand...

On the way to Nelson, we made a stop at Pelorus Bridge Reserve where we took a short hike through the forest to a waterfall and another filming location from The Hobbit (part of...
