Hanmer Springs

A lovely spot an hour and a half north of Christchurch, Hanmer Springs offers more than just its famous thermal pools, with some great walks and probably one of the nicest town centres in New Zealand, though competition in this regard isn’t huge. The obvious place to start are the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools, which are the main driver of the town’s success (and struggles at times) over the past…

Fjerde uge i New Zealand

Sidst vi skrev, var vi på hostel i ly for stormen. Vi havde planer om at sejle kayak, gå tur og sove i telt i Franz Josef, men vi fik desværre røg nogle af de planer i vasken. Stormen havde lagt sig lørdag morgen, men der var et tykt lag skyer på bjergene, som fuldstændigt blokkerede udsigten til gletsjeren. Derfor blev vandreturen med gletsjer udsigt altså skrottet. Vi fik dog sejlet kayak, og endda helt gratis, da en af mine venner fra Brisbane er flyttet til Franz Josef som kayakguide. Hun kunne lige stjæle tre kayaker, og vise os rundt på søen ved Franz Josef. Det var virkelig hyggeligt at mødes med hende, og ret sjovt at sejle kayak sammen.

Efter vi havde sejlet kayak, og vejret stadig ikke så ud som at det ville klare op, valgte vi at køre videre fra Franz Josef. Vi kørte derfor hele vejen fra vestkysten op til Hanmer Springs. Dette er en lille by i bjergene, der er opstået pga. varmekilder. Vi skulle altså have os en rigtig slapper dag, så søndag vågnede vi tidligt, og gjorde klar til at komme i Hanmer Springs hot pools. Vi fik prøvet en masse forskellige termiskebade, og Mikkel fik endda 30 minutter i privat sauna. Han var en glad og lidt tåget dreng, da han kom ud igen. Efter vi havde brugt ca. 3 timer i "badelandet", kørte vi videre helt rene og afslappede.

Vi kørte her fra bjergene til østkysten, hvor vi skulle til strandbyen Kaikoura. Denne by var blevet anbefalet til os, da de har hvaler året rundt. Vi skulle derfor på hvalsafari, hvilket Mikkel aldrig havde prøvet før. Og det blev virkelig en succes! Vi kom på en tidlig tur, kl 8:00, så vi skulle igen tidligt op. Det tager lidt tid at pakke telt, soveposer osv. sammen... Den store stjerne på turen var kaskelothvalen. Der er unge han kaskelothvaler i Kaikouras hav året rundt, da de skal vokse sig store, før de kan komme ud i det åbne hav, og vise sig an. Derfor kan de altså have hvalsafari året rundt i byen. Dog var det ikke denne hval der blev stjernen for vores tur. Vi var nemlig heldige nok, til at komme tæt på en kæmpe flok grindehvaler. Disse kommer kun ca. hvert femte år til byen for at yngle. Og nøj hvor var der mange! Og de hoppede og stikkede deres hoveder op af vandet, og var bare helt vildt skønne at kigge på. Kæmpe fans! Udover hvaler, fik vi da også spottet et par delfiner og albatroser. Albatroserne gjorde også virkelig stort indtryk på os. De er jo seriøst vanvittigt store. Vi kunne slet ikke forstå det. De ligner jo bare en gigantisk måge. Ret vildt.

Kaikoura var vores sidste destination på sydøen, og dagen efter vi havde set hvaler, skulle vi altså med færgen nordpå. Her sejlede vi en 3,5 timers færgetur med verdens dårligeste wifi. Dette betød dog, at vi fik lov til at lave ingenting i 3,5 timer, hvilket viste sig næsten ikke at være nok tid. Det var ret rart at sidde og stene i så lang tid, uden at skulle tænke på, hvor vi skulle sove eller hvad vi skulle se de næste steder. Vi ankom med færgen i Wellington, og her besøgte vi Mt Victoria, da der er filmet lidt Ringenes Herre her. Efter vi havde set det, kørte vi videre til et campingsted for at overnatte. Dagen efter blev brugt på mere Ringenes Herre sightseeing, og derefter kørte vi til Tongariro.

Her skulle vi overnatte og igen tidligt op, da vi dagen efter skulle gå the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Vores sidste lange vandretur. Det blev til lige under 22 km og ca. 1000 højdemeter i et meget gold vulkan landskab. Det var så fedt, at gå i noget helt anderledes end vi før har gjort. Og på turen fik vi både set varmekilder, gejsere, kratere og store søer. Det var sådan en flot tur! Vi fik endda udsigt til Lake Taupo, hvor vi skulle bruge vores næste dag.

Også kommer vi til i dag, hvor vi har sovet i Taupo. Om morgenen gik vi ned til en flod, som lå lige ved siden af vores campingplads, som btw var gratis! Den var så smuk, og det var så rart at få skyllet sig igen. Som i måske kan gætte jer til, bliver man lidt klam af at sove i sovepose hver nat uden at vaske sig særligt meget... Efter svømmeturen pakkede vi sammen, og nu skal vi planlægge de sidste dage på turen. Vi har bilen indtil d 29., så vi har ikke mange dage tilbage, inden vi skal se Auckland. Vi skal dog lige forbi Rotorua og prøve at mountainbike og selvfølgelig til Hobbitton og se the Shire!

Hanmer Springs

Lovely few days at Hanmer Springs including a forest walk with a multitude of Bellbirds around us and a dip into the thermal pools for me along with UK friends Adam and Jo who were there at the same time, which was a lovely meet up.

On our second day we made the trip early morning to Kaikoura for a whale and dolphin watching trip and we weren't disappointed. Floki the sperm whale, who is well known in the area appeared for us and did the wonderful float then dive routine (I do wonder if he is the same whale I saw 12 years ago here?) and then we came across a pod of about 1560 dusky dolphins all keen to demonstrate their acrobatic abilities. There were so many it was hard to know which ones to watch as there were aerial acrobatics everywhere. It was a wonderful day topped off by a fab meal in town - I had battered shark which was very tasty and then a bunch of fur seals sitting on the beach on our way back.
