A lake in New Zealand

These photos are from an afternoon at a lake in New Zealand. It was a rainy day in Queenstown and we decided to drive a bit around with our camper van along the endless streets within the beautiful landscape I have already shown you in my last posts and at some point we came to this lake. We left the van and there was no one there, just us and a man fishing. We were standing there and Will started skipping stones into the water which created many little circles. And I was just quiet standing there thinking how lucky I am to being able to visit such wonderful places and to create such memories.

Milford Sound - New Zealand

A few photos from our day trip to Milford Sound on the South Island of New Zealand. It is a six hours drive from Queenstown and the way to the Fjordlands is so stunning. I think we stopped every 5km to just get out of the camper van, breathe the fresh air and to be blown away by the beauty of the landscape.

Mount Cook / New Zealand

We spent one foggy day and a cold night at the highest Mountain in New Zealand - Mt Cook.

The air was so crisp and I liked seeing the mountain coated in fog and the colour schemes of grey, green and brown. Such a magical place!

Another hike - New Zealand II

On on of our days in Queenstown we went for another beautiful hike (Ben Lommond Summit).

We were climbing up the hills for a few hours, got rid of layers of close with every hour, mountain goats crossed our way and we adored the colours of the grass and bushes and the views which were simply breathtakingly beautiful.

I love the satisfaying feeling of a nice long hike and it reminded me to the time when I went to summer camps close to the alps and we'd go for long walks and hikes back then as well.

Happy weekend everyone!

New Zealand I

It's already November and didn't have time yet to show you some photos of our trip to New Zealand early October.

It actually don't know why we haven't done this trip a lot earlier as it only takes 3h to fly from Sydney to New Zealand and this country is just so breathtakingly beautiful.

Let me take you on a trip over the next couple of days and show you a few moments of our trip. When I look at the photos I feel like I can breeze in the fresh air of this magical place. We really did have a great time and also that we only spent 10 days there we saw so much and our eyes were glowing as this country is just so beautiful.
The photos are not in a chronological order and the photos above are from a hike (Mt John Summit) at Lake Tekapo. It was stunningly beautiful and we were surprised that on the top of the mountain was a wonderful little cafe with great coffee and cake.
