New Zealand has a great nature!!

どこが、よかったってきかれてみんなに勧めることができる国。

ドライブしててあきない壮大な自然。最後に交通事故にあったけど、20万とんでったけどそれでもまた行きたいと思う国。

滞在　2014年8月27日~2014年9月10日　約15日　レンタカーで北島、南島を満喫。

日本語日記は→遊んで暮らす　世界一周　ニュージーランド

 

We traveled around both islands in New Zealand by rental car about 2 weeks in 2014 summer.

There is the length and narrow country like Japan.
So the climate changed north to south place.
North island was colder than south island.

After we rented the car, we went to the supermarket and bought foods.
We decided that we sleep in the car.
Because the cost of living is high, so we could not stay hotel and go any restaurants.

We stayed in campsite cottage only three times.
Those days, it was winter season there, so we did not become our body bad smell.

Driving was very fun and feel good for us.
Because there are many great nature and wild animals.
We saw wild sea lions, penguins and birds.
It was our first time to see wild sea lions and penguins.

So it was very nice experience!!
Of course we saw many livestock, sheep. Because of New Zealand.

And there are beautiful waterfalls, rivers, lakes and mountains.

Strong spray!!

The top of the mountain was covered with snow

It's like the movie's world.

There are many kinds of nature.
We were impressed every day.

Especially, we recommend place is "Witomo Caves"
We can go inside of the cave.
And we can see a lot of land fireflies on the ceiling.
All of the land fireflies were lighting.
It was so amazing!!!
The entrance cost was very expensive, but you should go there!!
There is no place where you can feel such an experience.

There are some places that are smilar in Japan.
They have hot springs and cherry blossoms.
When we saw this, we felt nostalgic and make us happy.

It is our favorite cake in the world.
The name is "Pavlova".
It has just the right sweetness for us.
It's crispy but soft.
Anyway, it was so good!!

Of cause, Kiwis were great!!

We have nice memories in New Zealand.
But we have a only one but memorie.

It was a traffic accident.
When we crossed the street while the traffic signal blue, one of the car attached our car.
We think the traffic light on their side was red.
They should stop but they went through the street and attached.
It was their fault.
But nobody saw our accident.
The policemen could not judge who is faulty.
So we should pay to the rental car company 2ooooo yen.
The accident happened 10 minutes before　returning the car
It was our sad story.

But totally,we enjoyed to travel around the New Zealand.
I really recommend you to visit there.
