... fuer die Hausnr.) und es eine Karte von Auckland in der Post gab! Bei der Bank versuchten wir dann das Geld von unseren deutschen Konten abzuheben. Dies erwies sich als relativ schwierig, denn das geht ja immer nur bis zu einem bestimmten Betrag. Als wir dann hinundher ueberlegten, fiel uns nur noch ein Loesung ein: Basti musste den Hoechstbetrag mit seiner Kreditkarte und den Hoechstbetrag mit seiner EC-Karte abheben und ich auch den Hoechstbetrag mit meiner EC-Karte ...

... box of a dorm cluttered with the many belongings of various long-term residents didn't add to the appeal, and we quickly sought out new surroundings in Ponsonby, a nice neighbourhood about a 20 minute walk from the CBD, where the streets are tree-lined and the weather is still ****.

The hostel owner assures us that this is just an unusually cruddy spell however, and that it was fine until - guess when? - the ...

... as this was all outside so it got freezing when we got out. Me and Charlotte stayed behind for another hour after and watched an ice hockey game that was going on on the ice rink next door which was pretty cool to watch.

The next day we were in Christ Church which apparently was named this as they wanted it to be the most christ like place on earth and when the city was established people had to fit a certain profile to live there or something. Its a pretty nice place but its ...

... snowboarding and if my board arrives in the mail in time I should be front of the line opening day. :-) Today I have another mission though. New Zealand is one of the few countries in the world that allow you to make and distill your own alcohol legally. My flat mate wants to take advantage of this by building his own distiller. Now, I know what you are thinking, doesn't that stuff make ...

17th April 2009 Today we were meeting up with Daniels friend, Doshi, who moved to Auckland a year ago. Doshi was going to take us out for the day and show us around places that not many tourists get to visit. 1st we drove to the top of Maungawhau (Mount Eden), which is one of 70 dormant volcanoes in the region. It is the best spot in Auckland for 360 degree views of the city, the Waitemata Harbour and beyond. From here Doshi pointed ...

... to make progress at times because of all the photo opportunities along the way. The Germans seem on to it, they're here in their droves and all for good reasons. NZ - It's fantastic, It'll grow on you. So there it is everyone, thats how to ride a bike from one side of the world to the other. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog / dairy entries.

... time we'd reached 12,000ft I'd managed to persuade myself that my sheer fear was actually just excitement! So out the plane we fell for 50secs of freefall before the parachute sprung us back up and we flew. Once you're out the plane, its not scary at all - you're just in complete awe. Over the next few days Caroline was my own, superb personal tour guide driving me up to Roturua for an incredible experience of the Maori culture; including getting to chat with these locals ...

... is really hard - have no idea how to help them. Think I'm just ignoring them at the moment. Have no Teaching Assistants or special needs teachers over here either so I'm on my own with them,. Trying to swim with 30 kids and keep them under control is impossible! (especially as I have no idea how to teach swimming!!) Have spent a weekend in Waiheke Island ...

... This coupled with living in the Bay Area of California where anything popular is distilled and blown up for it's esoteric and social importance such as the spirituality of the Maori and the left leaning progressive green feminist politics of the people gave NZ even more of a mystic.

I even had a friend that told me New Zealand was the land of the next great spiritual revolution. That he was told that the spirits of the "Moriori" a peaceful tribe ...
