Travelogues Otago

We say goodbye to Christchurch and head towards Dunedin. The Rakaia River impresses again with its turquoise water. Amazing. We drive through the ski resorts of New Zealand and...

Finally here, how lovely! Heike and Barry, their 17-year-old son live here. Uncle Keeney (Steve's brother) is also visiting from Christchurch. Then Danielle comes with her son...

Today we head north again. This refers not only to the north of New Zealand but also to the northern hemisphere of the world. So far, we have been traveling steadily south from...

Today we went up early to be at the water at 7 a.m. for Dorian to be able to use the high tide to catch some blue cod, and he was successful. In the afternoon we did a 3 h hike...

Arriving in Wanaka was once again a moment of “it can’t just get any nicer”. But starting at the beginning. As soon as we left the area around Franz-Josef and drove over the...

The journey is slowly coming to an end. This morning we went to yoga and the swimming pool. After that, I made my final purchases in Queenston CBD.

Queenstown didn't make it into my heart, but it got under my skin! After a month in only small Kaf towns and few tourists, Queenstown was really quite a tourist shock for me....

Our highlight in Wānaka was the Puzzling world, with an outdoor maze, a puzzling cafe and many illusion rooms, so fun!

First day was exciting, experienced a lot etc.
