We can't stop talking about how New Zealand is. We just read Scotland is the most beautiful country in the world but we disagree after we've seen New Zealand. Who else agrees?!
We drove on and found a free campsite on the route. This route was again a very beautiful one. We drove a long way beside Lake Wakatipu and we found this drive even more beautiful than the great ocean road ... (but do not others ;-)!).
Once at the free campsite we were surprised about the facilities! Clean toilets, a good place to do the dishes, supermarket on the other side of the road and last but not least: WIFI! Now we did have a local sim card and we could text what we want, but a netflix is never a bad idea! So we quickly put on our pajamas, brushed our teeth and layed in bed with Netflix. Only the cup of tea was missing (no, we are really not a married couple!).
Te Anau was our next stop, where we went to see caves where glowwroms live. You read it well, literally worms that give light.
It was once again a unique experience. Green dots everywhere, like watching a starry sky. And again we had a group that was not in our age category... Hmmmm, it's a big mystery where the people of our own age are. We are always with the retired people and they always smile at us.
Half of our group made a bowl of his hands and put it behind the ears so they could hear the guide better. Sigh
We enjoyed the glowworms in a boat and we all had to be very quiet. It was awesome, unfortunately we could not make any
pictures.
Our next pearl was on the schedule: Milford Sound. This is known for the beautiful surroundings. As if we had not seen enough!
Dear followers, we'll keep you in tension so far. We will share our Milford Sound experience with you later. What do you think? Will we have a group of our own age this time?;-)
Read it in our next post! Unfortunately we have to take the plane (a very long flight!) so there will be a bit delay in our next post.
Big kissesss!!
