Kauri Cliffs Kerikeri

... ins Land gesandt und ueb** 500 weit**e Haeuptlinge setzten ihr Zeichen.
Die Maori unt**schrieben einen V**trag, d** ihnen ihr Land mit allen Ressourcen zusich**te. Die Englaend** unt**schrieben einen V**trag, d** besagte, dass die Maori ihre Landabschnitte lediglich v**walten durften. Auf Grund 2** v**schieden** V**sionen od** falschen Ueb**setzungen gibt es bis heute grosse Probleme, wem welches Land geho**te und wie viel Entschaedigung den Maori zusteht. Es ...

... eine Gruppe von 10 Leuten. Wir fuhren durch die Bay of Islands zu einem Weinanbaugebiet, bei dem es dann eine leckere Weinprobe gab....gut ob sie lecker war kann ich hinterher nicht entscheiden, da wir uns seit Silvester vorgenommen hatten 1 Monat nix zu trinken. Simon and Simon hielten dies mit allen Kraeften bis jetzt durch, aber Marc und david konnten der Lust des Weines nicht ...

We drive back down the road to Kerikeri, visit the supermarket and browse the Sunday Market for locally grown fruit and vegetables. Back at the house, we brave the sea for a swim have a barbecue on the deck in the evening. I am now a convert to gas barbecues. The evening's entertainment is a jigsaw. The girls started one and soon we are all drawn in round the table.

... from a couple of bat species. At least until the Maori arrived around 800 to 1,000 years ago (actually not that long ago compared to other Polynesian settlers). They brought some mammals with them and so did the European settlers when they began arriving. Until those pesky mammals arrived, including humans, the birds ruled the roost, so to speak. With no major predators, some very odd bird species developed, many of them flightless -- from the Kiwi (now ...

... on the face of the planet. Agonizing to watch everyone dog**** so badly that a 1 year project has taken 28 months and is STILL GOING. When I was no longer needed I assumed Rick would thank me for my work and send me on my way, possibly with a letter of reference. What he actually did was ask me "What are you doing here today?" and send me to work on the nearby farm owned by the site owner. The hired man there said "maybe call ahead to make sure theres work" I said ...

... retrieve his debit card. We got to the room ten minutes before he came back from his morning activities and were able to talk to Audry about her plans for the day. She was very tired and didn't feel like doing much of anything. I told my mom she could stay inside today, take to day off and read but she refused saying she didn't feel sick, though her sinuses were clogged. We made a list of all the things we had to do; get money from the bank, buy key chain ...

Well....I HAVE ONE MORE WEEK IN HELL!!!! oh well, it's more money in my pocket, so whatevs. I got payed last week. $384. woooot!!! Denise said she could probably get me some shifts at Homestead ( a local bar) so that should be interesting. I think we'll be in Kerikeri until the end of May...De wants to stay till June 15 because that's her last shift. We'll see. I kinda wanna get moving and meet more people. Anyways, we're still at Kerikeri ...

... off into a wavy ocean. The greens were greener than an envious amateur leprechaun. Easily the greatest side effect of this job turned out to be the home it led us to. A man I worked with named Ben, one day told me he may have a flat to rent us. I was interested but his description of the place left a bit to be desired. A week later we came to check it out and I literally couldn't stop grinning. For 10 dollars more a week we could move out of our tent and public ...

... arrived around 1000 years ago. Maori used their timber for boat building, carving and housing and their gum for starting fires and chewing (after it had been soaked in water and mixed with the milk of the puha plant). The arrival of European settlers last century saw the decimation of these magnificent forests. Sailors quickly realised the trunks of young kauri were ideal for ships' masts and spars and settlers who followed discovered the mature ...

Lebo päev. Magasime kaua ja tegime reisikulude kokkuvõtteid. Väga hull olukord polnudki J Peale lõunat vaatasime linna, mis on väga ilus ja mõnus. Leidsime ühe teeäärse golfiväljaku ja katsusime selle "greenide" muru. Peab mainima, et see on kuidagi eriliselt pügatud. Väljakult avanes ilus vaade lahele ja linnale. Tegime pilti ja nautisime. Käisime ära ka Haruru kosel, mis oli senini nähtutest veerikkaim, kuigi mitte eriti kõrge. Gerli idee peale teha ise õhtusöök, suundusime poodi. Sealt sai ...
