Otago Peninsula - South Island - NZ

The Otago Peninsula lays right next to Dunedin, one of the bigger cities of NZ. It’s the perfect place for ecotourism and you’ll find lots of sea lions, fur seals, yellow eyed and small blue penguins and even royal albatrosses…and we’ve seen them all. The peninsula isn’t really big, but it has a lot of beautiful deserted bays where you can spot the animals yourself. Again we took some great photos, so check them out…

Mount Cook - South Island - NZ

We drove from Christchurch to Mount Cook and the ride was beautiful. The area around Christchurch looks a bit like Holland because it’s all flat, but once you’ve gone off the highway the scenery is very nice. We drove through the mountain area towards Mount Cook and took some good postcard quality pictures. This area is really stunning this time of the year (first week of December), because of all the flowers (lupines). Once arrived in the late evening at mount Cook we decided to kill our budget and stayed at this fine place called the Hermitage. We had one of our best dining experiences, due to the excellent food and the stunning view right at Mount Cook. We slept in a cozy chalet in stead of our campervan and left the next morning right after breakfast further south to Dunedin…
