Our New Zealand adventure was sadly coming to an end. From Dunedin, we only had to get to Christchurch so we could take our flight home the next day. Because it was on the way, we stopped to marvel at the Moeraki Boulders. I’ve wanted to see them for a long time, but never hadContinueContinue reading “Love you more”

Dunedin alternatively
After Queenstown we headed to Dunedin, a place we were keen to check out. I’ve been to Dunedin before, so we decided to do things a little bit differently, and do other things than I’d done here before. 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”
Fudge & burgers
Ah, good ‘ol Queenstown. I still don’t know what to make of this place. I enjoy it, I like it, there is heaps to do, but it’s also very party-ish and touristy. Still worth a visit, I’d say and that’s exactly what mom and I did after driving down from Wanaka. There was a marketContinueContinue reading “Fudge & burgers”
Cardrona & Arrowtown
Let’s continue sharing the travels around New Zealand that my mom and I enjoyed! The next destination after Wanaka was Queenstown. It’s just a short drive between these two places so we decided to take the scenic Cardrona Road and make a stop in Arrowtown. Here are some photos from the stretch between Wanaka and Queenstown.ContinueContinue reading “Cardrona & Arrowtown”
Wanaka: a jetboating adventure and 4WD farm tour
I’d heard great things about the Matukituki Valley. A fellow backpacker on my previous trip to New Zealand had recommended it to me. I was keen on seeing this area for myself, so I booked a day tour this time around. The morning activity was a jetboat tour along the Matukituki River with Wanaka RiverContinueContinue reading “Wanaka: a jetboating adventure and 4WD farm tour”
Love for the outdoors
In the Netherlands most of us don’t really grow up with the outdoors like for example Norwegians or Swedes do. We are not taught how to use a compass, hike for long stretches, we don’t learn basic survival skills etc. I’m generalising of course, because there are ways to spend time outdoors. For example, thereContinueContinue reading “Love for the outdoors”
Sunny side up
After a long drive from Christchurch, we finally arrived in sunny Wanaka! It’s a small town that is gaining heaps of popularity as a quieter alternative to Queenstown. I hope it doesn’t gain too much popularity and thus risks turning into a second Queenstown. That would be a shame for this cute little town. WeContinueContinue reading “Sunny side up”
