Reichswehr schießt nicht auf Reichswehr
Doitschland steht wieder da, wo es vor 100 Jahren aufgehört hat. Nur dass “die USA” (Bill Gates) dieses Mal den Versailler Vertrag ersetzen. Henry Morgenthau hatte so recht. Die hätten 1945 einfach einen riesigen Kartoffelacker aus diesem braunen Drecksland machen sollen. Oder Atombombentestgebiet. Naja. Es ist noch nicht so lange her: 2015 begaben sich wenige…
Germany has gotta die … and Jens Spahn’s a wanker
I was in Singapore a couple of weeks ago, when they raised their threat level to “orange”. And I was impressed how well-organized, smooth, and professional they handled the situation. And by “they” I mean the government, the local authorities, individuals, businesses, etc. Remarkable. Very clear communication. No bullshit. Clear instructions. A clear, well-rehearsed plan…
Geh nach Haus und zünd’ dich an …
Mehr fällt mir dann auch nicht mehr ein dazu. Das Brot ist bestimmt gut, aber was für ein Bullshit. Ich hoffe, ihr nehmt auch jeden Tag eure Anti-Covid-19 Globuli. Und desinfiziert die Theke täglich mit gependeltem Wasser. Selig sind die geistig Armen. Ich hab übrigens auch manchmal spontane Gärung, danach riecht es dann meistens streng.
GBI forever
Below some more pictures from GBI, our new favourite spot in NZ. Well, so says the Reisebegleitung at least, I still rate Ohope a bit higher because there is real fruit ice cream in Whakatane, but not on GBI. 😀 Medlands Beach is simply the best, but the other views are not too bad, either.
Ulysses
Things kinda got out of hand, no reliable internet for more than a week. So I’m giving up on chronological order here, switching to pure stream of consciousness. Call me James.Fuck yeah, we did some nice hiking this time. The track I’ve posted earlier, the loop track around Punakaiki, is not even an “official” track,…
Island time
Paradise exists. We’ve found it. Great Barrier Island, in the Hauraki gulf at Auckland’s doorstep. Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Fantasmogoric. We’re staying at the lovely Medland’s Beach Lodge, which is right on Medland’s Beach. Ocean views from the bed, beautiful sunrises. And perfect wave after perfect wave on a flat, sandy, lonely, safe beach. Doesn’t get…
Komoot not cooperating
I just saw that the Komoot embeds are not working, so here’s another try. Paparoa NO Croesus Track (partly): Paparoa NP/Punakaiki Loop: Nelson Lakes hikes:
Greymouth, Pt Elizabeth
St. Arnaud was really good to us, I must say. Wonderful region, and the town itself is undeveloped in a nice way. Just one word of warning: Stay away, stay the fuck away, from “Dine Hard”. The worst food I’ve ever seen. Disgusting. The Alpine Lodge, on the other hand, much better food.Or take the…
Nelson Lakes National Park
After a nice lunch in Nelson a short drive up into the mountains to St. Arnaud. Finally. We’d had this on our list for years now and something always came up. Well, not something, but the weather, to be precise. There was always weeks of rain and storms up in Nelson Lakes NP when we…
