Where I’ve been: Ferry to Malborough Sounds, New Zealand, 2007

Here is part two of the New Zealand Special: After the days in Wellington we crossed over to the South Island. We took the Interislander Cook Strait Ferry from Wellington to Picton. It was not so cheap but hey it is also a 92km voyage that takes 3 hours.

We were told that this would be one of the most beautiful ferry rides in the world. So when we boarded the ship early in the morning we were very exciting. It was literally freezing but we stopped for a photo session on deck.

Where I’ve been, Sydney, what to do, when you have only four days

Here it is: part 10. I’m a bit proud of myself for blogging ten days in a row. And I want to finish my 10-Days-Special on Australia with a wrap up on Sydney as there is so much to do. There is definitively more to do than what I list, but let’s say you have four days in Sydney and the weather is nice, what should you do? Here are my favourite:

Where I’ve been: Sydney harbour, Australia, 2007

So this is already part seven? Time is just running, I guess. And while still having a cold, I feel that much better today, I might even go out for some food shopping… But first of all here is a part on Sydney again, this time on the harbour area and  ferries, one of the best things in Sydney as part of my 10-Days-Special on Australia.

On the Ferry

I’ve always liked cities where ferries are part of the public transport system. I loved to take the ferry to Manly from Sydney’s city center. Taking a boat trip down the Elbe in Hamburg was a nice way to get around too. And yesterday we discovered what a convenient way of travel Bangkok’s ferries offer.
