57 The Strand Whakatane, Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand, 07-308-2244
... km of experience doing that. <br><br>The first day is going well, I managed to leave Rotorua, after a nice cooked brekkie to say a temporary good bye to Bridget and Lorraine, who are also going off round the East Cape but in a hire car in the other direction. <br><br>The sky's been clear, the ground eventually stopped being frosty, the views have been amazing espcially the panaramic lake shores. One section of road though was littered with porn, this is not a ...
Whakatane, North Island, New Zealand theroad2... we really did see some incredible pools, but also watched the staff induce a geyser eruption by dropping a bar of soap down the vent. Apparently this breaks the surface tension and creates enough pressure to make it erupt on command, bubbles and all, at 10:15AM every morning. It was a total tourist trap, but also part of our education about New Zealand tourism and related conservation, or something. Strange....Anyway, that day we got to see ...
Whakatane, North Island, New Zealand daniellefagre... allant sur Taupo nous nous arretons voir des bassins de boue bouillante et puis l'impressionante cascade de Huka! Nous arrivons a Taupo vers 5h de l'aprem.

Maketu, North Island, New Zealand kikiblogtrot... we are walking on, or we could die...or words to that effect! You could see little collapsed areas with footprints remaining that showed where people had started to break through the crust. The remains of the sulphur factory which was destroyed by an eruption in 1914 which killed all ten workers are another reminder of the danger of volcanic activity. We joined the boat again with one or two brave people getting in ...
Whakatane, North Island, New Zealand russdi... that he wanted us to go check out. I was REALLY tired, as we all were- and kept getting somewhat frusterated to have to keep getting on and off the bus. But when I look back I am really glad that I had those opportunities because any ordinary traveler would not know about such hidden little spots and proabably drive right past them! The drive was probably about three hours in total to Maketu. Once we arrived, Uncle Boy hopped on the bus to welcome us. We had been practicing on our ...
Maketu, New Zealand aggurlie... gaan proberen. Een breedgebouwde man met een zonnebril kwam me tegemoet: "Cheryl?" "Mike?" Yup. In de auto hadden we het al vrij snel over de droogte hier. Ik vertelde over de droogte die ik in Australie gezien had en de schade die een regenbui kan aanrichten, door simpelweg de bovenste laag met laatste grassprietjes weg te spoelen. Aangekomen op de boerderij, bracht Mike me naar een soort zaaltje, waarin 3 stapelbedden, 2 singlebedden, een tafel met wat stoelen en een barretje ...
Opotiki, New Zealand cb_goes_again... bodies found, which is funny as there are only 4 million Kiwis and 2.4 million travellers in here. That's the population of Finland and normally the big news there is a dog running away from its owners. Well Simon mentioned the suicides and school shootings but still that's quite rare.) Watched I am legend and had ...
Whakatane, New Zealand snowflake... not take a particularly long time, but made for a pleasant enough stroll. Had the chance to send a postcard or two and buy a souvenir and some groceries. I headed back to my room, grabbed my car and headed out to Ohope Beach, which was the other side of the head. It was a short drive, and on a nice day would have been a very pleasant walk through the scenic reserve. The beach was big and the tide went out a long way - the sand was ...
Whakatane, New Zealand loxiasHey allemaal!<br><br>Zijn jullie lief genoeg geweest om kadootjes te krijgen van Sinterklaas?? :-)<br>Hier kwam op 5 december Santa Claus de barbeque van de Ponyclub bezoeken! Voelt toch echt wel veels te vroeg hoor!! Hahaha!!<br><br>Afgelopen week ben ik 4 dagen bezig geweest met het wieden van onkruid in Leonie`s bloementuin. Ik weet niet hoeveel emmers onkruid ik eruit heb gehaald... Absoluut dieptepunt was dag 3, toen ik zuring tegenkwam (een grote plant met ...
Whakatane, North Island, New Zealand cb_goes_again... hij gaf me niet eens de keus. Hoe dan ook kwam het erop neer dat toen hij terug naar zijn hostel ging, ik mijn rugzak weer uit zijn kofferbak heb gehaald. Een ander meisje van het forum woont in het centrum van Auckland en bood me haar vloer aan om op te slapen. Graag! Ik ging voor mijn intuitie en het moment dat ik besloot om niet met Adam mee te gaan en zij al begonnen te praten over het blijven tot maandag of dinsdag, wist ik al dat ik een goede ...
