Travelogues Banks Peninsula Community

This week was quite eventful for us. Julian went on a fishing trip to Kaikoura. There, he had booked a fishing tour with Fips, Konsti, and Nils. The outing turned out to be very...

Today woke up with the sun. The morning bird songs sound quite different here. The alpacas are lazily chewing and only a couple of mosquitoes are bothering me on the porch. It's...

Long before Markus arrived in New Zealand, we had agreed that the Banks Peninsula would be our first stop. It juts out into the sea like the Egmont National Park and is...

Akaroa Today we took a bit more time to explore the town. It feels very cozy, and the many shops and restaurants make the place lively. At least when there are tourists. The...

A boat trip is fun, a boat trip is beautiful.

Happy New Year, a little belated, but from the heart to all of you! We are now back in Christchurch after three wonderful days of hiking. We took the bus from here to Akaroa for...

Kia Ora! Today we set foot on New Zealand soil for the first time. The flight from Singapore to Christchurch was turbulent, and sleep came only in patches, so we are a bit...

Wednesday came quicker than expected. Madlen is coming and my dad will be leaving again. The last things were prepared on Wednesday morning before we went to the airport in the...

14.11.22 We wake up in the middle of bird chirping around 5:30 am. Our first breakfast in the camper van with coffee and toast. So far, so good. Since we still haven't heard...

Hello dear ones, here I report to you about another hike on the southern peninsula near Christchurch. Here I hiked the Te Oka Bay Track and during my hike and my view in both...

My first real hike in New Zealand.

Although I have had my agreement for New Zealand since December, I only found out in mid-June which project and thus where I will be living in New Zealand: I'm going to Living...

We continue on to a peninsula near Christchurch. Roughly comparable for Germans with THE holiday island of Rügen. Unfortunately, we didn't think enough about the fact that it's...

I arrive late at 5:45 a.m. After going through immigration I wait in vain at the baggage carousel...my duffel bag probably didn't come with me. But it wouldn't be a Haese trip...

Day 83: Lyttelton/New Zealand and still issues with the mobile network

Wir sind gut in Christchurch gelandet und haben heute morgen unseren Camper in Empfang genommen. Unser erstes Ziel ist Arkaroa, ein Städchen in einer Bucht, südöstlich von...

.... before it gets colder... And once again, the world is upside down here. At least upside down compared to Germany. It is still summer in New Zealand at the moment. But it...

Under a few circumstances we finally managed to get a car! Originally we planned to buy a car in Auckland. But the car market was worse than expected, so we flew to Christchurch...

In between, Duncan and I also take a little trip to Akaroa, about 1 hour from Christchurch. I was here for the first time in 2018 (back then I was also at the old cemetery), and...
