Endlich da!!!

So, endlich bin ich da, die erste Nacht hab ich auch gut ueberstanden und jetzt geht's erst mal auf in die Stadt. Nachdem ich im Columbus Coffee gefruehstueckt habe, schlenderte ich durch den Myers Park (die Palmen waren toll) und dann ging's auf zum Skytower. In 40 Sekunden mit dem Lift 186m hoch, da wurde mir ganz schoen mulmig, aber es hat sich gelohnt, der Ausblick war genial!! Nach diesen atemberaubenden Blicken hab ich mir dann noch den Hafen von Auckland angeschaut und bin zur Harbour ...

Raus aus der grossen Stadt...

Da ich endlich mal raus wollte aus der grossen Stadt, bin ich am Donnerstag mit Helen, der Koreanerin aus meinem Zimmer, mit der Faehre auf die Insel Waiheke gefahren. Waiheke ist nach Great Barrier Island die zweitgroesste Insel im Hauraki Gulf und hat 8.500 Einwohner. Wir haben eine Explorertour gebucht und hatten dabei den geilsten Busfahrer aller Zeiten! Er hat uns die Highlights der Insel gezeigt. Das einzige Wort, das mir zu dieser Insel einfaellt, ist WOW! Aber schaut euch einfach die ...

New Zealand!!! I finally made it!!! I am currently in the biggest city in the country - Auckland. And at 1.2 million people, it's not even really that big. There's only 4 million people total, but there's 40 million sheep! And that's all in two islands that together make up the size of Colorado. The flight over here was quick...from Sydney it only took 2 ½ hours! I took a Chilean airline so everything was done in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. And the girl next to me was from Spain so I go...

Auckland Domain

Walked through the oldest park around today, the Auckland Domain, circa 1845. Impressive New Zealand scenery. The view from the museum was cool.

Auckland

Our first day with our new travelling companions, Chris's mum (Ann) and Aunt (Pat), started with a walking tour of Auckland. This took in a number of the historic and cultural buildings of the city including parks, university buildings, artwork and administration buildings in the city centre. It was an interesting tour, but possibly a little too much for our still travel worn friends. When we reached the van, I think everyone was glad of the rest on the journey north. We travelled as far as K...

Auckland at last!

Hey everyone! Well i'm finally here after a stupidly long flight, spent at least 27hours travelling and i don't plan on getting on another plane any time soon! I'm staying at the Kiwi International Hostel, which seems ok so far but very quiet! There only seems to be about 10 people staying here at the moment, maybe it'll liven up later. Not feeling too jetlagged at the moment, just a bit weird. The view flying into the airport was awesome, all the coastal areas of North Island seem very spars...

New Zealand here we come

After a very smooth flight which went by quickly, we arrived in Auckland at 3AM ... instead of 4AM.. thanks to the wind that pushed us. For once, why can't we arrive later! :) Ah well! We got there fine, gone through immigration and customs fine and sat down and had breakfast in the airport until about 5am until we got up and thought it was late enough to get a shuttle bus to our hostel. We got to the Kiwi backpackers on upper Queen Street (main shopping street in Auckland, really nice street...

Stopover in Auckland Part I

... worms. After 9 months, the glow worms turn into an adult and look like a mosquito, but they don't have a mouth so they can not eat. Then, they have about 3 or 4 days to mate before they die. Unfortunately we couldn't take any pictures in the cave or the glow worm grotto, so I can not show it to you. Then, we got back on the bus and ate lunch (kinda like the ones you get on airplanes). Soon, we arrived in a city called Rotorua and ...

Stage 3 - New Zealand

... a small grocer's shop that would service the area - quite different to the area now with its houses as described above and the modern shopping malls. These are the kind of museums we like so we stoppped off at a few more on the road north! First one we stopped at was in Matakohi - the Kauri Museum. It was terrific. It showed the early loggers working on the kauri forests - what beautiful wood it is. Some of the trees were nearly 2000 years old. The museum had rooms and ...

Due for our full day walk on Fox Glacier, weather forecast is not good, heavy rain by lunchtime. Jacqui phoned Fox Guiding to check situation after yesterday's tragedy and with forecast weather. Glacier is` closed to public access but still open for guided access, so after a hearty breakfast we set off for Fox ...
