Milford Sound National Park, South Island, New Zealand

01.02.16 

Milford Sound is very impressive but unfortunately we didn't have the best weather for it so everything looked a bit grey and misty. Apparently it has more rainfall than the Amazon Rainforest so you have to be really lucky to have a clear day. 

Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand

29.01.16 

I think this has to be our favourite City in Queenstown. The surrounding landscape is just breathtaking. We did a skydive here and it was amazing The Remarkable's (mountains) made a fantastic backdrop : )

Wanaka, South Island, New Zealand

28.01.16 

Lake Wanaka is just beautiful. It's 99.9% clear so perfect for swimming! Whilst here, we visited the organic Rippon vineyard which has outstanding views across the lake. 

Franz Josef, South Island, New Zealand

27.01.16 

The breathtaking Franz Josef glacier and Mirror Lakes. 

Punakaiki AKA Pancake Rocks - South Island, New Zealand

25.01.16 

We drove past Saddlers lookout point and then onto Punakaiki. The pancake rocks are curious limestone formations that still remain a mystery as to how they were created......

Abel Tasman National Park, South Island, New Zealand

22.01.16 - 24.01.16

We visited the stunning Abel Tasman National Park and did the coastal walk. Most of the beaches we walked through were completely deserted! We stayed overnight in Whariwharangi Hut and drank a bag of wine under the moonlight on the beach : )

Waiheke, North Island, New Zealand

02.01.16

The absolutely stunning Waiheke Island! A short ferry ride from Auckland. Mainly delicious wine and stunning views. 

Halong Bay, Vietnam

29.12.14 

Three days and two nights spent in stunning Halong Bay, including a trip to a pearl farm and a over night stay on Cat Ba Island. 

24th Nov Colca Caynon Trek

The Colca Canynon´s are 100 miles North West of Arequpia and twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the States. We started early at 3AM stopping at the first village ´Chivay´ for breakfast. We then drove to Cruz del Condor but unfortunately only saw a couple of Condors flying in the distance. Too many tourists! We then started our walk downwards crossing the river Colca. The slippery, dusty trail and sorching sun were totally different conditions to Machu Picchu. Overnight we stayed in bamboo bungalows and enjoyed a swim in our pool with stunning views. Bliss. 

Day 2 was a 5AM start and a 3 hour climb to the top of the mountain to the village of Cabanaconde. This was tough, especially on an empty stomach. The afternoon was spent at hot spring baths which were lush. Just what the body needed.
