We stay a little longer

First things first: We have applied for a second E-Visa, and *trumpet* can stay 3 months longer! :) So we are staying a total of 5 months. In May, we will go to Argentina as planned!

What does Wellington (capital) aka Welly (wood) have to offer?

Wellington from above! We've never seen clouds move so fast: Windy City

Lots of culture for free! Great and small museums, galleries, and beautiful green spaces!

Kiwi, unfortunately night-active and super shy, so seen in the museum ;)

Firework installations from all angles *.*

Sailor stories

What a green city...

Looking for a game night?

Counter Culture makes it possible! Such a cool idea, a board game bar with over 400 games, good beer, and more than just motivated staff

Winning smile, especially with the DIAMONDS game. The magpie won!!

Settlers, of course Felix won. Nice crowd there(:

What was particularly beautiful?

Zealandia! Restoration project with the goal of getting everything back to how it was BEFORE humans arrived. Thirty native birds, lizards, only native plants. What a beautiful bird concert!

The little star: A mini dinosaur. Tuatara or bridge lizard.

Our favorites:

TUI - sings beautifully in three-part harmony

*****

From Welly, we took the ferry to the South Island to Picton

Classy breakfast: Poor Knight (what else with bread?!)

We slowly made our way along the North

A week in Nelson.

In Nelson, we stayed at the "Paradiso Backpackers". An affordable piece of paradise with sauna, pool, jacuzzi, and cinema bus

There were homemade(!) spaetzle, fries, and bread. Paradise.

******

From here, we went to Takaka (Hippietown) and Cape Farewell (which really looks like a kiwi on the map)

And again, pure nature

Natural spring with ultra pure water that breaks surprisingly in the light

Those who have entered a MOSS CONNECTION: Stalactites always facing the SUN ;)

********

For those who made it this far (we won't squeeze another 4 weeks into one blog entry!!) here comes the highlight: the sealion baby - at the dream beach
