New Zealand is definitely a place to visit - and if you love sheep it's heaven

I figured I'd write a blog for Dunedin and New Zealand since I've been living here for over 3 years and a lot of people wanted to see pics!!

Here are some pictures of my trip to New Zealand. I went to both North and South Island by rental car. Enjoy!!!

We staan om 07:30 op, gaan om 08:00 uur ontbijten (niet al te best, er is weinig keus en er word niks bijgevuld als het op is), laden de spullen in en gaan dan op zoek naar de Skyline Gondola. Deze is niet moeilijk te vinden, omdat de tegen de berghelling bungelende karretjes vanaf bijna elk punt i…

I met a German guy and a Swedish guy on the bus to Wanaka, they'd both been skiing in Queenstown and were planning on heading up Tripple Cone one of the near by slopes in Wanaka. The German guy had been traveling in South America and was proving useful for tips a head of my flight over there. The S…

It feels like a very long time ago that I have been to New Zealand. Today I was thinking about the great time I had there and want to share some pictures with you. New Zealand is a stunning country with a beautiful nature and variety and I am so looking forward to go back there in December for Christmas :) Hope you enjoy the photos!

After an amazing year working & meeting new friends in New Zealand, it was time to start travelling this amazing country. The plan was to start in the South Island, head North & to make my way back home to the UK through Hong Kong, Macau, Thailand, South Korea, China & unplanned Taiwan.

Car hire companies' insurance policies are void if you decide to take a wee drive down Skipper's Canyon, and there's a damn good reason for that ... it's treacherous, dangerous and more fun than weasels down your pants. it's also stunningly beautiful. Another highly reccommended thing to do if you'…

Stopped over in Fiji on the way to New Zealand, stayed in New Zealand for 5 and a half months, mainly on the south island...worked 3 and a half of those in Blenheim on the vineyards :)/:S. Made some amazing friends and memories in Blenheim and thats where I truly left my heart. All was well until the crash in collingwood of our car and having to leave it to be wrecked and bus back to our home away from home in Blenheim. Ah traveling...

Through the Haast Pass, passing lots of waterfalls and Lake Hawea before reaching Wanaka.Just staying the night. The Wanaka experience is for later.

A trip back to Wellington and Otago to visit my family, but I took a few photos that may be of interest to TB people while I was there. Enjoy!
