From Dunedin to the south coast of the South Island

Publicado: 16.01.2024

Let's get in touch again :-)

First: we're fine! But we freeze and starve every now and then, how should we put it, for organizational reasons. This should get better! ;-)

Somehow summer isn't really here in New Zealand yet, we had nights with only 4 degrees Celsius! If there hadn't been the storm and the rain, everything would have been fine. But @ Anke: we don't have a beach shelter this time!!! The tent was waterproof.

In addition, we have already reported a broken sleeping pad and a hole in one of the two pairs of pants we have with us.

We've also been drinking (like every year) since December 31st. until February 9th no alcohol - we'll hold on! Although it did sound tempting... With the weather and all.

It feels like we always take down the tent in the rain (or in a storm) and then have to stop to dry.

Now for the positive news: We get along, @Till: we don't need to be rescued yet and we have INCREDIBLE animal experiences and wonderful landscapes!

We were already lucky enough to have two Hoiho (yellow-eyed pingiun) - endangered, a Takahe (endemic, there are only about 500 left in New Zealand), Sea Lions (supposedly also endangered - we had them often) and Hector's dolphins ( You guessed it: threatened with extinction) to experience in nature. The flightless Takahe could only be seen in a 300 hectare fenced area.

Tomorrow we start our next multi-day hike: The Humpridgetrack with 62 km. We are looking forward to it and hope for good hiking weather.

Eindrucksvoll; ich mag Eure Bilderberichte! Ihr wärt nahezu am maximal entferntesten Punkt für eine Rettung - aber bei Erfordernis würde ich es versuchen! Ich bringe eine Hose + Glühwein mit. Ach nee: Kein Alkohol. Würde etwas dauern, bis ich bei Euch wäre. Vielleicht wärt Ihr dann schon 'drüber' ;-). Vier Grad + Sturm? Ist nicht doll anders als hier. Ich wünsche Euch, dass ein NZ-Sommer Euch noch findet! Gruß, Till

Anke ist froh, dass ihr dieses Mal keine Strandmuschel habt. :D Neue Hosen bringen wir selbstverständlich zu eurem Bergfest mit nach Sansibar! Viele Grüße von der verschneiten Scholle- hier steht alles! Haltet die Ohren steif - ab dem 9.2 wird alles besser! ;) Grüße Anke und Larissa
