Puketi- Trounson Kauri Park
So we left Puketi with a little bit of drizzle and cloudy sky's. We had to get a vehicle ferry at Rawene. On our way to our next campsite we stopped off at Waipoua Kauri Forest where we saw the Tane Mahuta (Lord of the forest) it was the biggest Kauri tree and as old as 2000 years old. After we made our way to our first service campsite (hot showers and a kitchen). We relaxed here as it was raining a lot and we spent most of our time in the kitchen charging our electrical ...
The Lord of the Forest

Firstly though, we had a busy day planned. We started off by travelling East to a place Marko had recommended. Another plus of couchsurfing; getting great tips from ...
Dykning i Sabang och tillbaka i Manila
... På Gili och Lombok blir det nog mest att ta det lugnt och slappa på lite olika stränder samt plugga lite faktiskt! Blir att skriva högskoleprovet i vår så det är bäst man börjar öva i tid så att det går bra.
Den nionde februari har jag nu bokat ett flyg från Bali till Hanoi i Vietnam! Har tänkt resa ner genom Vietnam till Saigon och sedan västerut därifrån genom Kambodja och in i Thailand för att komma fram till Bangkok i lagom tid tills flyget hem går i början av Mars.
