Table Cone Waterfalls

We are still wandering in the same area.. Table cone is a famous ski field few cow n’ sheep fields away from Wanaka. But my dream of a ride on a white fresh snow powder down the hill will remain a dream.

It’s time for us to say goodbye to that place. It seems that our destiny is in another place... It’s with a half broken heart that we are leaving BUT with a heart full of love that we say bye to our friends Raph and Floriane... (and that I gonna leave my snow gear to Raph...)

PS: bet who was crazy enough to take a shower under the falls???

A special gift for a special day for a special person...

Open your wings Coco, Fly like a bird... You made it, you deserve it, I know how blissful this moment was for you... That was your moment, and that’s it... Nothing else really matters...

Happy 21st Birthday

Mirror Lake, up and down - Part1 (playing on the trees)

When you can get the reflection of such a view, that makes it twice as incredible!

Sweet home, super comfy home, sometimes a little bit messy but so welcoming!

-5°C

It’s the way to start the day in our new place for the next week... I mean to start working in that place! and this place is an organic vineyard in the Cromwell area! Not far from Wanaka... A kind of winter camp to prove that we can do it! Yes we can... we can weed the frozen soil with our new friends, our pickaxes :-)

Thanks Raphael and Floriane for this job... our hands will remember it for a while ;-) However, the beginning of a long friendship

Isthmus peak!

How to explain that feeling when you sit on top of this pole... WOW - RAD !!!

Amazing spot, the shortest day of the year but so full of awareness... shock of the extremes... beauty, size, calm, purity, softness... proportions are just different when you find yourself over there

Walking along the Clutha river

Finding some fairy houses, playing hide-and-seek on the forest... Breathing PURE air...

This river will bring us all the way down to Wanaka... Bye bye Queenstown where we couldn’t find ourselves a good situation! Let’s hope a better destiny for this new paradise-looking area!

(Priceless but sometimes expensive) freedom to sleep wherever your soul brings you!

Who can resist for this kind of view for a breakie or a dinner :-)

Waking up with 10cm 3cm of snow on the car... Once again the magic runs...

And Queenstown takes another dimension! Good perspective for this winter :-)

Will we make it to survive in the van? Not sure

How to really enjoy a TimTam™ by Coline

Make you a cuppa (coffee preferred)

Cut two opposite corners of the biscuit

Dip the TT in the coffee and aspirate the black juice through the biscuit using it as a straw

ENJOY the melted biscuit

PS: all kind of TT can be used, a preference for the double chocolate!!

Glennorchy, a lost paradise... or How to reach what you were looking for?

The early winter scennary is matching perfectly to that simple but magestic place!

Just one pic to introduce you where we are now :

Lake Wakatipu in front of us

Queenstown on the left

The Remarkables with the snow on top

All the remaining part is pure wilderness

The Catlins...

Caves, waterfalls, and finally we reach Slope point... the southern point of New Zealand... Maybe it's because we are closer from the south pole than the equator that it's getting cold now :-)

Bonjour la vache!

Because there are actually more cows than sheeps in New Zealand... you can get epic shots of a cow wondering why someone is taking a picture of her...
