After a long exhausting day we were pretty happy to be at the hotel and decided not to take the sleeper bus to get to the Phong Nha Nationalpark. So other options would have been the train but a 10 h train ride or even more? Noooooo! We choose to get back to Ha Noi READ MORE

Everything is just for hobbits now
Our next day started with a drive back to Auckland to get a new camera. But I didn’t just want one of these underwater cameras without a housing. I wanted one with and that’s quite hart to get to be honest. First we tried our luck at Canon, to check out if they might have READ MORE
Annoyed of all that driving around!
Our day started earlier as the one from all the others from our campsite. We wanted to explore Farewell Spit but all we got was Cape Farewell. The Spit is one of the northwest points of the South Island of New Zealand but as a normal person we weren’t allowed to go any further then READ MORE
Relax & enjoy the nature
So we stood up pretty early because we had to leave the campsite between 7 to 7:30. We already explained the campers, who have parked their van right in from of us, we have to leave on time, so they have to move in the morning. And we were happy as we recognized they did READ MORE
Could have stayed here 4-ever
We almost need anything everyday so we went to Countdown to buy some food. But the next thing in the plan was the best for the whole day. A drive to the Golden Bay to take a short walk to Wharariki Beach. As we finally arrived there it was almost 3 pm and we just READ MORE
Enough water for one day
We searched for a freedom camping space and found one next to highway 6. It wasn’t the best idea because we stood crooked with our camper all night and didn’t really get a lot of sleep, but we were to stingy to pay for a campsite this time. Basti dreamt that we would tip over READ MORE
A bit of recovery for our legs
After our glacier hike we wanted a bit of relaxation for our legs, because we had aching muscles. So we had just two stations on our plan so far. We headed to Elisabeth point. A nice place north of Greymouth on the western coastline. We drove to the very last carpark and had to walk READ MORE
That was just not our day
We started our day with a beautiful view and sunshine. We got down to the get-together area of the campsite to make breakfast. There was nothing but a sink, a toaster, a stove and a water boiler. So we went up to the camper to get all the kitchen stuff we needed. There was a READ MORE
The country of mesmerizing lakes
From my point of view New Zealand is the country of lakes. We drove by so many of them and one is prettier than the one before. The color of the water just amaze me and it’s getting more and more intense. We stayed in a little town called Lumpsen, where every public parking space READ MORE
Diving in Milford Sound
Our alarm rang at 5:30 to get there on time. It was still dark outside and we made our way down to the beginning of the sound after breakfast. The road was very curvy and luckily Basti was driving. From our campsite it took us around 1:15h to get there. So if you have to READ MORE
