  We staan om 07:00 uur op, want om 07:45 hebben Alan en Helen-May het ontbijt klaar staan. We banen ons een weg over de 30 jaar oude schapenwollen vloerbedekking die er nog als nieuw uit ziet naar de huiskamer, waar de tafel al gedekt is. Het wordt een gezellig ontbijt met warme rabarber, ba…

It's make up a round track. Going at the Pyke is really going into the bush! very insulated place, no many people go over there.

On leaving Queenstown, we headed around to Te Anau - about a 2 hour drive and not a lot to see on the way apart from lots more mountains!  We passed a cycle race going around the lake near Queenstown, don't know how these people can pedal up and down these mountains, but they must enjoy it!&nb…

There was thankfully a bit more time to play with this morning, since we didn't have to leap in to a canyon until about noon.  We packed up our gear and a brief debate over what to do with our packs followed, however I knew there was a snowflake's chance in hell that I was going to come back u…

So, we`re getting ready to say g`bai to Q`town and suddenly it turns all gloomy and rainy. We left early morning, new faces and a new driver Nevin. We headed out to Te Anau and reached rather early.

Having spent two days in the wilderness, myself and the lovely Katie decided to go for beer and pizza on our return to civilisation. The pizza and beer were wonderful and feel like a few games of pool I dragged her to The Moose a pub on the lake front in Te Anau. We had a couple of games before I g…

Best trip ever: Worldtrip. With two couples we travelled around the world. Our first stop was Hong Kong: very impressive: East meets West with a lot of English influences. Second stop: New Zealand: most relaxed and natural country in the world: best TIP ever! Go down under! Thirth stop: Pacific dream: Rarotonga. Not that touristic as Fiji or French Polynesia. Made a daytrip to Aitutaki. Forth stop: L.A., USA. Big city. Visited Universal Studios, drove thourgh Beverly Hills. Home

New Zealand offers stunning and spectacular views of the mountains, lakes and forests. One of the momerable trips we had especially with the whole family.
