Fantails Accomodation Levin

... had been driving at 66 through a 50 zone and issued her with a speeding ticket. Lauren and Celia found this hilarious whilst Lee was worried that our fits of laughter would get us in more trouble. When Lee expressed his concerns Lauren began to panic that she would be taken to the police station and calmed down. Lauren insisted that she was okay to continue driving but several minutes later Lee had to remind her that she was in a ...

... t actually believe that people still used the thing. Its utterly slow anyhow so I didn't have the patience to wrestle with it.

Over in Levin, we stayed at an organic winery called Celtic Winery. Now Levin is not known for weather conducive to grape growing so Malcolm would simply have organic fruit shipped in for the wine. We got to go through the entire wine making process (except with different batches obviously). First we picked some c******nay and chianti grapes ...

... deal is that we work 4 or more hours per day and we get free room and board. We have really found out how hard farm work is. We don't have to do much with the cows, they are only milking 4 of them right now while the others get a break. But every morning John goes out and gets fresh milk and cream and then makes homemade butter.

Pip is a fascinating woman. She is a holistic healer and believes 100% in ...

... uns mit einem Mietwagen auf den Weg in die Bay of Islands gemacht, zum Cape Reinga, in den Waipoua Forest, nach Rotorua und dem Tongariro National Park. Dann trennten sich unsere Reisewege auch schon wieder (laenger waere es wohl auch nicht gut gegangen mit uns Drei in einem "Schlafsaal"... ein "Saegewerk" im Nebenbett ist selbst mit besten Oropax nicht zu ueberhoeren :-)). Ich selber habe danach die angeblich schoenste Tageswanderung in Neuseeland gemacht, den ...

... the way to Motueka where we found a secluded campground that was off the beaten path. We set up our enormous six person tent and decided that for one night we could all comfortably spoon in order to avoid the hassled of setting up another tent in the rain. I don't understand how eight supposedly smart science majors make these sorts of decisions. It was fun for about a half hour before we all realized that we simply couldn't find a position where an appendage ...

... and valleys. Today is the hardest - we're heading for Panekire Hut situated on top of Panekire Bluff - the trig is at 1180 metres! We should get there in 5 hours - a mere 8.98km. We plunge into the lush rain forest of ponga fern, mosses and lichens.The gloom increases as the greyish,white lichens cover the trees this could be Fanghorn Forest of Lord of the Rings -it seems as if the trees want to pull up their roots and start walking. We climb steeply,clambering over ...

... with two other passengers. As the weather was being kind to us we were able to sit outside in the sunshine and enjoyed a fun couple of hours, chatting, playing cards and also watching the dolphins swimming alongside the cruise ship. Tonight was formal night, so although we were not going into the formal dining room, we donned our formal attire and headed up to the bistro where we enjoyed a nice meal (albeit it, not the lobster being served in the ...

... molt familiar i amb unes instal.lacions fantastiques. Anirem a comprar quelcom per sopar i el prepararem... els vespres passen volant! com sempre! 15.02.2009 Da die Strasse in die Berge immer noch gesperrt ist, koennen wir auch heute den letzten Teil der LOTR Tour nicht machen. Stattdessen machen wir eine 1,5 stuendige Wanderung zu den Taranaki Falls. Sie fuehrt durch schoenes Waldgebiet und endet ...

... we would do it all over again, stuart decided he wanted another haircut so we found a gentlemans barber& i managed to wander around the odd shop without him!! we had a tram ride, walked along the river which was very oxford looking with the punts being punted along & the weeping willows drooping over(just like magdalen bridge pat & pete) we called in for a meal stu had wallaby & goat which he had to finish cooking himself over a hot stone ...

So, mein Bus nach Levin geht um 8 Uhr ab Wellington. Ich wollte also um 6.30 Uhr aufstehen, weil ich um 7.15 Uhr vom Hostel wegmusste, um puenktlich um 7.45 Uhr an d** Bushaltestelle zu sein. Um 9.30Uhr w**de ich dann in Levin ankommen. Das war mein Plan.... Es sollte ab** alles ein bisschen and**s kommen. Ich habe keine Ahnung warum ich meinen Weck** nicht ho**te (zumindest in NZ ist mir das noch nie passi**t), ab** ich wachte **st um 7.20 Uhr auf. Ich wusste ueb**haupt ...
