... greeting driver and scoure bus for any fellow normal people. 2. Congregate with those located and chill out and go with the flow. 3. Drink goon in the evening and ***** about the continentals. 4. Have fabulously good time and think the Europeans are not so bad really - its just their manner and everything gets lost in translation anyway and sure isn't it all great. The Stray Bus is that - it is great - there's a mix of all ...

... many stars so clearly visible and you could pick out the milky way and other constellations (if only we knew what they were!). Day 18 - Whitianga, east coast Coromandel peninsular Continuing eastwards across the coast, we stopped at Otama beach, a long deserted stretch of white sand - we felt as though it was our own private beach a spent the entire afternoon relaxing before heading to Whitianga, a small town although bigger than Coromandel ...

... kan grave sig 20-30 cm ned, hvorefter der strømmer varmt vand op og man laver sig sit eget lille thermalbad. Skønt at ligge der og kigge ud på de vilde bølger fra havet. Tobias er totalt opslugt af de store bølger. I starten af ferien købte han et lille surf board af nogle danskere, der var på vej hjem. Og det har han virkelig gerne villet afprøve. Hot water beach var dog lidt for farligt, men han ...

... unes 2.5h de caminata amunt i avall, vorejant la costa a través d'un bosc molt dens. Fa un dia tapadet. Cathedral Cove és una cova força gran, amb una platgeta molt bonica, però hi ha massa gent acumulada... és el que passa amb els llocs més turístics. Al tornar, doncs, definirem un recorregut pels propers 3 - 4 dies, jugarem a jocs de taula, etc. Demà és un dia festiu pels Kiwis, per tant tindran un cap de setmana llarg!

... muses who were fantasticOhmygodTheyreamazing-Iloveyouk ristinyourethebestever! OMG. I did, in my own quiet way, get very emotional. Wellington is very cool, definitely the best city out here. Good weather as well for once. Flew from Welly to Queesntown and spent my eventful time there before ending up here in Auckland. its ok here, it seems rather featureless and lacks character though. Im sure theres plenty to do here but Im ...

... resevoir is heated by magma and forces its way to the surface through the sand). Folks gather, shovel in hand and dig a little hole in the sand, sit in it and enjoy the delights of hot spring water, up to 64 degrees celsius (scorchio). As the tide turns the sea comes back up the beach and covers the site, but for four hours or so (twice a day) you can enjoy the hot baths. We borrowed a ...

... back I spent an hour potting plants with Katrin before lunch. Piet has found me an old mobile phone handset to use - I can only use it within New Zealand but it's really nice to feel connected again. It poured down with rain all afternoon so we stayed in. Tuesday 27th May The rain continued again today, so this morning Katrin and I were potting plants in the shed, and raking leaves during the gaps in the rain. The afternoon was a lazy one due to the ...

... comfortable. Sunday 11th May I woke up in the car as soon as the sun started to rise. Maelenn was able to sleep for longer, and I felt very guilty that I had to wake her up so that she could move into the passenger seat and I could drive us home, however I needed time to pack. We dragged our muddy selves through the door in the mid-morning, and the post-festival shower was absolute bliss! I was quite tired so after packing was happy just to ...

... back on it travelling in the wrong direction - say no more Several hours later wit the windscreen wipers at full pelt we stopped off at a fishing village (well i think it was it was too foggy to see) and during the afternoon we arrived at our Colonial Homestay which is exactly as you can imagine. Its a B & B house which looks like a wooden colonial home and we have a little lounge with internet and a bedroom with balcony ...
