What can you do in the Glacier Country when you visited both glaciers on the first day? The weather wasn’t as good as on the previous day, still good enough to do some less challenging hikes. Because you always anticipate rain on the “Wet Coast” we opted for some easier walks such as Tartare Tunnels […]

Disappointing New Zealand Work sucks here, it really does. I did not expect New Zealand to be so outdated and stuck in the old days as it is. Behaviours that Europe simply got rid of or is in the process of doing so are nurtured here. On the top of that, living in Queenstown really […]

It’s been a while since the last post. As usual we were just busy. We managed to go for many hikes that I wanted to post about, just struggled for time.

At work we meet various people, with some you start having a regular contact, and meet outside the working environment. It makes it easier when our children just click on the spot and become good buddies. Thanks that we were invited to visit and stay at their place in Invercargill for a weekend. It is […]

We moved to the area called Jack’s Point. Interestingly this place in 2021 was rated among top 10 lifestyle estates in the world (newworldwealth.com).

Due to work commitment we set of Friday afternoon. It is about 3-3.5 hrs drive from Dunedin. Because of the late hours we could not enjoy the views on the […]

New Zealand’s most expensive cat Feels like we’re jumping two months forward with this post in comparison to the last. But it is the important/emotional reason for it. We went to Christchurch for a weekend. The reason for it was to pick our cat Freyja from the quarantine. To cut the long story short she’s […]

Immigration rollercoaster The only way I can describe is manic/super busy! Although, I was not working that week, it was far from chilling and relaxing time. We obviously went to the hospital to introduce ourselves, face to face, and to see the unit that I am going to be working. I did not take long […]
