I'm in loooove.... with New Zealand! <3
This is such an incredible country! After only a few days here we have fallen head over heals for New Zealand. The nature and views here are breathtaking! The views are as amazing as on the picture there on the left...!
Akaroa was a really cute small village, built in the heart of an ancient volcano! A lot of active sealife there, with dolphins and penguins. We stayed at a small, privately owned, place on top of the old volcano with awesome views!
After that we drove to Mt. Cook Village! The crystal clear lakes and steep mountains on the way were jaw-droppingly gorgeous!! The place we stayed at was on the foot of Mt. Cook, so you can imagine the views... We did a bit of hiking there (or tramping at it is called here in NZ). Lots of paths, from easy ones to really steep hard ones!
Dunedin was our next stop. The Scottish influenced city was pretty basic, but a short ride from there was Otago Peninsula which was really nice and kind of reminded us of Ahvenanmaa-Aland!
Yesterday we drove through the Catlins! Lots of sheep and cows on the way, spectacular views with lakes and waterfalls! Now we are passing through Invercargill [it's kind of like Kerava] on our way to Manapouri [next to the Fiordlands] and then to beautiful Milford Sound!
