Christchurch

By -

I spent the last 2 days in Christchurch. Got here Wednesday afternoon
which left time to explore Cathedral Square and the CBD.

Drove to the Port Hills Thursday morning, took the Gondola up and
hiked for 3 hours to Godley Head and back to the car park. Picture was
taken half way overlooking Governors Bay.

Spent the afternoon in Lyttelton and New Brighton beach.

Today I spent the morning in the Botanic Garden and drove to
Willowbank Wildlife Park in the afternoon, which features the largest
live Kiwi display in NZ. Kiwis are quite strange and fun to watch in
their more natural habitat.

Will drive to Blenheim tomorrow for some wine tasting in the
Marlborough region and plan to take the Picton ferry to Wellington
Sunday morning. Have to be back in Auckland Tuesday night to catch an
early morning flight to Sydney. Time in NZ is slowly coming to an end
- I will surely miss this place.

Turns out a couple of my emails did not make it to the blog. Saturday I drove from Coromandel via the Waitomo Caves, where they have glow worms unique to this part of the world, to Rotura. Rotura has several Maori Tribes and shows. I went to Te Puia on Sunday where they also have mud pools and 2 geysers (picture taken just before a major eruption). Afterwards I drove to Taupo via the Huka Falls and stayed the night in Turangi. Monday I drove through the Tongariro National Park and stopped at Mt. Ruapehu (Mordor in Lord of the Rings). Since it was cloudy and limited visibility I drove on to Wellington. Catching up with today I took a 14k hike from Tonga to Torrent Bay via Bark Bay - all in Abel Tasman National Park. This was probably the most amazing hike I have taken outside of Alaska. A water taxi dropped me off and picked me up at the end of the day. Tomorrow I will drive to Collingwood at Golden Bay for some relaxation. Nelson is completely booked tomorrow and is becoming ...

Fraser Island

Just got back from an awesome 3 day self drive 4x4 camping adventure trip to Fraser Island. Weather was in general good with a few showers inbetween. We had a little storm Saturday night which made it difficult to keep the tents in place - one tent blew away. I did the trip with 13 other fun people in 2 Land Cruisers organized by the backpacker where I stayed. Last day was a highlight spending the day at Lake McKinzie, after we had to drive there through an exit one-way as access was blocked by a tree. There are only few access roads on the island. Driving is done on the beach outside the 2 hour high tide windows - see tire tracks in the picture. Got to Hervey Bay Friday and did the trip Saturday through Monday. Will drive to the Whitsundays next for a 3 day sailing cruise. Expect a couple days to get there.

Wanaka

Wanaka is good fun. Lots to do and beautiful scenery. Paragliding got cancelled due to high winds - same issue I had in Alyeska a few years back. Will try again Sunday or Monday on my way back from the Fiordland. I went to Rob Roy glacier instead which is a nice steep climb. Can you count the number of waterfalls in the background? I stayed for a few hours and didn't want to turn around - too nice with very few people. Also starting to feel in much better shape after all the hikes recently. Yesterday was the drive from Fox to Wanaka - stopping at Lake Matheson for some great water reflections of Mt Tasman and Mt Cook. Tomorrow will be drive to Te Anau which will be the base for the next 3 days for the Fiordland trips to Milford and Doubtful Sounds. I will stop in Queenstown on the way for a quick look. As with all stops on the South Island I am trying to avoid the overly touristy areas.
