Little Australia / New Zealand summary

Hello from sunny and not so warm Hamburg!

We're back and want to summarize our Australia and New Zealand trip in five categories.

Our top five cities:

Sydney, Melbourne, Dunedin, Brisbane, Cairns

Our top five places:

Noosa, Wanaka / Rob Roys Peak, Queenstown, Byron Bay, Meroo National Park

Our top five activities:

Fraser Island, Great Barrier Reef, Magnetic Island, Abel Tasman National Park

Our top five moments:

Decision to fly to New Zealand, Timo & Dominik's arrival, first own koala sighting, first time in the wilderness with Jacky and campfire south of Cairns, NYE Sydney

Our five flops:

Jacky's escapades including ant infestation, flight rebooking in Hong Kong, nightlife in New Zealand / Australia, losing our football, bad weather at the glaciers (New Zealand)

Wildlife:

Kangaroos, Koalas, Emus, Snakes, Platypus, Kiwi (!), Wombat, Sea and River Turtles, Dolphins, Sea Lions, Crocodiles, Penguins, various marine creatures

Of course, it's difficult to categorize such a long period of time, so the above points are just our first spontaneous thoughts about our trip. There are many more places and moments that deserve to be mentioned, but we don't want to rewrite the whole block again.

We were often asked if we found Australia and New Zealand 'better'. Again, the two countries are absolutely incomparable and both incredibly diverse and beautiful!

We had a really great time together, with very few points of friction. We think you can see our intense time and experiences in the last blog entries.

Now we're looking forward to new chapters in both our lives and closing the past, but we'll always remember the last few months with a smile and a beautiful feeling!

Until then.

Your Louis & Jonas
