After first days on the North island we decided to visit Cape Kidnappers as it is one oft he largest main land colonies of Gannets in the world and for us a must see. Unfortunately a huge landslide in 2018 caused the beach to be closed since then, so there […]

Cape Palliser, Southern most point of New Zealand’s North Island and our retreat from busy Wellington after arriving with the ferry the same day. But let’s go one step back, South Island the day before. Waking up with the same storm we went to bed the evening before, still we […]
Kyrgyzstan, such an amazing landscape and so much natural beauty; we enjoyed it a lot. But see yourself… 🙂 And as usual, music produced by Ali Raini! Wonderful as usual, thank you so much, Ali! Special thanks this time to Wiebke and Tobi, a) for the great time together and […]

Moreaki Boulders First stop for us was at the Moreaki Boulders. […]
Somehow New Zealand was not the easiest start for us, being a bit shocked because all was so busy and suddenly we are back in a world where need to act according to stricter rules. Just looking for a campsite, not that easy anymore, as it is heavily regulated nowadays. […]
