Aankomst bij de Kiwi's
New Zealand, aankomst bij de Kiwi's- even wennen.
We zijn nu een paar dagen onderweg. De reis was voorspoedig , maar wel erg lang met 11 uur wachten op Sydney airport en toch weer wat tijdsverschil en jetlag. Sydney en Auckland zijn veel kleiner dan je verwacht en we missen een beetje de levendigheid en kleurenrijkdom van Thailand. Ons …
Hot water beach
