Falling to pieces

Reynisfjara (Iceland) was stunning! Incredible basalt formations, puffins, foamy waves…and a part of the beach we couldn’t visit. The reason for this was that recently, big boulders and smaller rubble had fallen down from the cliff above, as you can see in this photo.

We stayed at Hogwartz, a hostel I’d stayed at before and really liked, so I thought itContinueContinue reading “Dunedin alternatively”

Queenstown Gardens

On our second day in Queenstown we went to the Queenstown Gardens. Ironically enough, even after having been to Queenstown several times before, I’d never been to the gardens. And I have no idea why, because it’s such a lovely place! The weather had cooled down a bit and it was windy, but still lovelyContinueContinue reading “Queenstown Gardens”
