With a big bus we headed out on a tour to Farewell Spit, Golden Bay. It’s a protected area and public access is limited to only one or two tour companies. It was a beautiful day with amazing weather and beautiful sights. When I saw this dead tree on the beach, I knew that IContinueContinue reading “Lonely tree”

Chocolate chip cookie
People say the journey is more important than the destination. We often learn in the process of trying to get somewhere, and we need that experience for when we reach that destination. Perhaps the same can be said about a journey in the literal sense. I’m not the biggest fan of driving, although I loveContinueContinue reading “Chocolate chip cookie”
Don’t lose your shirt!
Queenstown, I’m not sure what to make of this town. On the one hand I can’t stand all the partying. I’m not a party person at all and I hate drunk people. So seeing many of those drunk party people in what’s actually quite a cosy town, is such a shame, in my opinion. PlentyContinueContinue reading “Don’t lose your shirt!”

On this photo, I had long passed the highest point of the trek (Harris Saddle) and was making my way down to Lake MacKenzie Hut, which you canContinueContinue reading “Enrichment”
Lake Rotoiti
Nelson Lakes N.P., an area in the South Island of New Zealand that I haven’t come close to exploring yet. We only went there because the owner of the hostel we stayed at in Nelson, recommended it to us, and our visit was brief. We were on our way to the Westcoast and the lady fromContinueContinue reading “Lake Rotoiti”
Equine adventure: Paradise
One of my oldest bucket list items was doing a multiple day horse trek. When I booked a four-day trek with High Country Horses in Glenorchy, I honestly thought this lifelong dream was going to come true. It partially did, but not enough to tick it off as fulfilled. Maybe next time? One of the best choices IContinueContinue reading “Equine adventure: Paradise”

In New Zealand I did a four-day horsetrek in the amazing Mt. Aspring N.P. on the ever so beautiful South Island. Here is a sneak preview of the incredible landscapes I found myself in those few days. Stories and more photos to come on Saturday!
