Heading to the North

प्रकाशित: 29.02.2024

In Picton, we took it easy and enjoyed the great campsite. Then we took the ferry heading east, yes really (!) to go from the South Island to the North Island. It was very stormy during the crossing, but Müsli is now an old salty dog and had no problems. We sat on the deck for 3.5 hours and admired the gigantic landscape (Breathtaking, Extraordinary, Spectacular).

In the capital of New Zealand, we spent four days, once again a 'real' city! A beautiful city. We even visited a museum for two days: Te Papa. Great!

From there we went to (attention cooking round!) Whanganui and then to Mount Taranaki. Müsli actually wanted to take the photo for the bedroom wallpaper here (because he is on the front of our travel guide), but it requires luck. It is said that he can be seen without clouds for 50 days a year. We tried for three days from all directions and heights. First from the Visitor Centre on a 3-hour walk. The next day from the north, just like he is on the travel guide. We even hiked for 6 hours. But no luck! We still took the photo at the spot, just imagine yourself behind us (photo with 'lake') the beautifully even-shaped 2518m high Mount Taranaki. And on that day, at least we were lucky to have the view in the other direction. Also an incredible sight!

The next morning, we crawled out of our tent and behold: There it is! Someone asked me why we had to go through 'this ordeal'. ;-)

We then continued on the so-called Forgotten World Highway to the next volcanoes, including the highest volcano on the North Island, Mount Ruapehu.

Hallo, ihr zwei Weltenbummler, wir seid mal wieder auf unserer Spur. Auf dem Forgotten Wold Highway sind wir auch gefahren. Die riesigen Baumfarne haben uns besonders begeistert. Vulkane und Geysire- einfach eine Traum-Landschaft. Wir freuen uns mit euch. Weiter so tolle Erlebnisse. Wir drücken euch.

Ich habe gerade beschlossen, das ich doch langsam aufhören sollte euch das alles zu gönnen… das geht eindeutig über meine Nächstenliebe und so… besonders an einigen Tagen. Aber gut, genießt man weiter! Ich will ja mal nicht so sein… 😇. Dann schickt mal weiter schöne Bilder, unter anderem dann aber auch „scharfe“ Vogelbilder ☺️. Fühlt euch mal kräftig gedrückt. 😍
