A day at the beach, usually not our thing, but Wharariki Beach is different. At least at low tide it has so much to offer, in the end our advertised 3km walk was at least twice as long, but surely worth it. During high-season it might be different again, but […]

Finally, after two days of rain and an increasing frustration level it cleared up on our way to the Hokitika Gorge and we could enjoy some time hiking in the forest. Hokitika Gorge Unfortunately, due to the rain during last days, the gorge was lacking the fantastic blue water that […]
Again, not necessarily the best day for travelling here on the South island of New Zealand, but nothing we can do against the rain. Crossing from the Catlins towards the West coast of New Zealand is still beautiful. And somehow mountains need clouds for the perfect shot, isn’t it? Later […]

Stop-over in Hong Kong on our way to New Zealand, not too bad at all. We decided to take a two-night break here instead of travelling directly onwards to New Zealand. For us sufficient time to explore the city. So we had kind of standard tourist program during our time […]
Vladivostok; end of the journey? In case you travel on the Trans-Siberian-Railroad, indeed this city at the Pacific Ocean is typically the end of the journey. For us it is “just” end of the first part of our trip. Still somehow an emotional moment and our first sightseeing round after […]
