Luckily we could drive to Milford Sound, because some days the road is too bad or slippery to drive. On the way to Milford we stopped at the Mirror Lake, where you can see a mirror image of the mountains if the wind isn't blowing. This was the case, so we took a few pictures. Read More...

To go from Invercargill to Te Anau we continued on the Southern Scenic route, so first we went to Bluff, which is the most southern village/city of New Zealand. There we went to Bluff hill to have a look at “Steward Island” Read More...

In the morning we walked through the city and this was quite nice, because this is a Scottish city, therefore I really like these buildings.

Later that de we did the “Elm Wildlife tour”. During this tour we saw Albatrosses, Sea lions, yellow eyed penguin and of course fur seals. Read More...

From Napier we went to Hasting, we didn’t do much here, just went to see ‘Die Hard 4.0’. It was nice to sit down for a moment and do nothing! The next day we drove to the capital of NZ, namely Wellington. We went up with the cable car to the botanic gardens and then we walked back down through these gardens! The old and new parliament buildings were built on the foot of this hill.

After the Hangi Mulligan and me drank a bottle of wine, Koops didn’t say or do anything, because he fell asleep the second he hit the bed. The room we were in was great though, n the morning we even got a free breakfast. This was a lot better then the sandwiches we had the day before on our way back from the hut!

After breakfast Peter and me went to the Rotorua Museum, we had a tourguide named ‘Murray Parkinson’, he had really nice stories and was very interesting to listen to! He also gave us some insight in the Maori people, which was great!
