After visiting Cape Reinga, we made our way to the ‘sandy bits’. First there was the opportunity to go sandboarding off these dunes and after that we went to 90-mile beach (which isn’t actually 90 miles long). It would have been fun to give this a shot, but my pneumonia (which I didn’t know IContinueContinue reading “Another one bites the dust”

Just a regular NZ beach
While I love walking on the beach in my home country, it really is a different experience from walking on a beach in New Zealand. Both are beautiful, don’t get me wrong. But there’s something about New Zealand beaches that I really love. And this photo is just a regular beach in Northland. The coloursContinueContinue reading “Just a regular NZ beach”
Vastness
It was the first time I was at the very northern tip of a country. I loved looking into the vastness of the waters at Cape Reinga. Such a beautiful place.

Cape Reinga is the place where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet. It’s a spiritual place for Maori, because it is here that the spirits of the dead enter the underworld and make the journey back to the homeland of Hawaiki. I thought it was a beautiful place, a place with a lot of meaningContinueContinue reading “Te Rerenga Wairua”

I didn’t have anything planned, not even my first nightContinueContinue reading “Aussie cowgirl”
Someone’s backyard
Could you imagine having this as your ‘backyard’? You hop in your boat and you can go just about…anywhere! Surrounded by lots of trees and water (and I’m sure mosquitoes too!), what a beautiful place to live! It’s surely something else than my balcony made of concrete, even though I enjoy sitting there too 😉
Stones in the water
Another one of my favourite photos from my two-day hike along the Vasaloppsleden trail. I especially love the contrast between the brown stones in the water and all those green surroundings. Sweden is such a beautiful country!
Bay of Islands
The Bay of Islands is a beautiful area in the North of New Zealand. During the tour, we stopped at Urepukapuka Island, a lovely and relaxed place. The view from the top of the hill was amazing! Bay of Islands from TravelSan on Vimeo.
