Staugaard’s New Zealand

3, 2, 1, Bungeeee

We spend a couple of relaxing days in Taupo hanging out with new Danish friends at the best swimming pool ever. The pool easily competes…with what the most luxurious hotels offer. And this one is on a campground! As if that wasn’t enough, we even had the thing almost to our selves! ¶ After a couple of days of doing, well… nothing, we needed some action. Taupo Bungy to the rescue!

Sunsets

We’ve seen some of our best sunsets ever while traveling on the South Island of New Zealand. Capturing the beauty on camera is impossible, but I’ve tried.

Tag 29 — The waterfall

We arrived in Jacksons. Everything is good. The lady from the Holiday park was just so nice and we could help her feeding her goat, 10 chickens and her parrot. We were surrounded by beautiful mountains, sun was shining and the spirits are up.

Glaciers

Heading south from Hokitika, we headed for the glaciers. It was quite fun to see the changes in the glaciers since I last visited New Zealand almost 20 years ago. I remember walking right up to the Franz Josef glacier back then. With no climbing needed we could walk right to it and touch it. Since then the…
