SOUTH NEW ZEALAND IN 10 DAYS

 

- ABEL TASMAN NATIONAL PARK -

I have no words to describe such a great time we had in this Natioanl Park. Kayaking from one island to the next one as if there were no tomorrow, eager to jump off the Kayac and explore the wildness and unbeatable scenary of the North part of the South Island.

Love this pick.

-NELSON LAKES NATIONAL PARK-

The early bird catches the worm, this saying was really usefull in our trip. We lived these pretty long days from dawn to dusk visiting as much as posible. The first day we made it until this massive lake called Nelson that we found in our way the glaciars.

-FOX GLACIER & FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER-

- LAKE MOPOURICA -

Mistic, isn´t it? It seems that a huge monster is gonna jump out the water and attack you at any moment. We went blank...

- LAKE PARINGA -

-TASMAN SEA & BRUCE BAY-

Forest, long stone beaches and mountains can be found in this sea as if there were a scenary made to please your eyes. Just the sound of the sea was heard for a while is this special place. 

- BOUNDARY CREEK VIEWS -

Climbing up this mountain wasn´t easy at all if we keep in mind that we were 3 spanish guys in an unknown terrein without the right gear and having slept like...4 hours? We had to celebrate it. hehe.

- BEST CITY EVER: WANAKA -

- QUEENSTOWN -

Traveling is about sharing. Well done my friends. 

-MILFORD SOUND -

-DUNEDIN-

I did fall in love with this city at first sight. Dunedin is known as the little Edinburg and I did enjoy this city that much that now Edinburg is in my bucket list. I wont forget the Cadbury chocolate factory and this huge cathedral turns into a pretty cool disco in the heart of the town.
