New Zealand

Trip with Muriel and Manu all the way to New Zealand. 3 weeks only as this is all Muriel gets for vacation PER YEAR!!!
We had plenty of good days but really had to escape the rain too many times. The North Island was really a little empty for us; seemed like almost no people live there. South island we did Abel Tasman hike, got washed out from it on day 3, Hanmer Springs for 2 days for a hike and the hot pools, Dunedin for the good weather at the beginning and we figured out that it is actually a really nice town. We almost got Tatoos there. Following the coast down was really great, as we hit the timing right it was an amazing day with super strong winds but amazing views and Dolphins. Te-Anau was the starting point for the next couple of days, Doubtful sound and a lot of rain there. Wanaka was the next target and was really great place. Roy's peak offers great views, no pictures though. Akaroa and Chistchurch, the Auckland and an amazing dinner in a 4 days old Restaurant, we where the only guests.
