Arrived in Auckland

In case you all wonder, we arrived safely in New Zealand after a small stop in Seoul. The trip was fine. Everything is fine except the internet access here in New Zealand. I will probably update this blog only when I will be back home. So, do not forget, no news = good news.

Beauty beyond words

We spent the day cruising through Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds on our way to Hobart, Tasmania. These fjords have mountains with cliffs, some covered with snow, that fall straight into the water. This part of New Zealand is totally uninhabited and inaccessible by car. As we leave New...
