Last night I was rudely awakened by a big earthquake, which pretty much shook me out of bed. Its the first one since I have been here that I have felt. It measured 5.2 Richter magnitude
Glad that I have finally experienced one!
Helen slept through it.

... ride!! Watch the video (when I upload it).
Just writing this on the coach to the party town of Queenstown……..looking promising on the yatage front!! The road to Queenstown is amazing…..some of the best scenery of mountains, hills, gorges, waterfalls, rivers and sheep ever! The National Curriculum should use New Zealand as a base for all geography trips. Estimated arrival at party central is 5.30pm…….ready to get the game on.

From Rotorua, we drove and drove and drove. Our camper van is pretty good this time. From what it lacks in cool design and character of the John Lennon van, it makes up for in comfort. It is much newer and much easier to drive. And what a drive. New Zealand is most definately the best place I have ever been to. I loved every where else, particularly Thailand, but I just feel so natural and happy here. Driving along winding roads, each new turn presents a ...

... A young male sperm whale breeched in the near distance. We had the chance to observe and take pictures. After about 10 minutes time they alerted us that he was about to breech and Jessica had already explained that at that point we would see him roll up out of the water and extend his tail as he dove. Indeed, he put on a good show! They tried to locate another whale but where unsuccessful. They did search out and find ...

We then head to Te Papa museum: a really great museum in Wellington with everything there is to know about the Kiwi culture, geography, geology (great stuff about the volcanoes in New Zealand... fascinating), history, nature etc... all of this in fun packed interactive activities! Jo and I even go ...

... featuring the only colossal squid on display in the world! It was a little dusgusting! Then we went up the cable car, which wasnt quite what we expected, more a little train and not that high up! but we did it and walked back down thru the botanical gardens, also not what we expected, not half as nice as sydney or melbourne! Anyhoo! that was pretty much Wellington, hmmm...... yep thats it!!

... find and not signposted, but luckily the Tourist Information in Oamaru was very helpful and gave us good directions. We walked down to the hidey hole which supplied 4 binoculars to use and could see 3 penguins on the beach and one on the rocks. One was a younger penguin, and ill and one of the older penguins was beating it up with its beak and pushing it down. It finally fell down and didn't get back up for awhile. There were also sea ...

... Die positive Ueberraschung hat aber nicht lange angehalten:-) Account war noch nicht freigeschaltet, bekam ich zwar noch am Montag nachmittag, aber ich habe es immer noch nicht geschafft Zugang zu allen noetigen Tools zu bekommen... Telefon war gesperrt und wurde erst am Mittwoch auf mich umprogrammiert. Der PC war ein alter PC und schon kaputtinstalliert, d.h. ziemlich langsam. Habe ihn gegen einen anderen (alten) PC ausgetauscht. Und einiges vom ...
