Hello again, and happy new year from NZ!
... in, a private villa with in villa catering and a private pool….LUSH!
The next 3 weeks were spent in Sydney, Australia. Here we had a sensational time with Rob and Mark over the xmas period and were treated by Tony at new years. I also caught up with Stobbsie. It was a fantastic time and I especially loved new years day BBQ on the beach.

Kaikoura: Wale, Wale und nochmals Wale
... die verdammten Sandfliegen (ich habe 14 Stiche seit Abel Tasman...), in unser Aspen Court Motel erneut einchecken. Übrigens ein sehr nettes Pärchen, das das Motel managt, und sehr saubere und schöne Zimmer.
Abends essen wir im "Green Dolphin" zu Abend, dem besten Restaurant am Platz. Nach einer guten Flasche Pinot Noir 2010 von Seifried (eine Winzerei in deutscher Hand nahe Blenheim) gehen wir schlafen für den großen Tag.
Tag 2:
Der Tag beginnt ...
