Sex, Drugs, and Rock’n’Roll

(Note: I would have loved to add some pictures to this post, but Google Blogger seems to be broken.) Yeah. So ZQN then. It’s easy to hate this place. It’s very much like a mixture of Switzerland and Estes Park, CO. But on the other hand, there’s so much great scenery and nature on its…

Improvisation is king

We enjoyed the sun in chc for three days and had a very nice new year’s eve dinner with another German couple staying in the same cottage. Next was Dunedin, as requested by the reisebegleitung. We detoured through Geraldine to have lunch at Cafe Verde again, managed to catch a sunny patch while visiting Moeraki…

Sodomy is just another four letter word

That’s one of the many unpublished songs by Joy Division. Never made it onto any of their records. Rumours have it that the singer killed himself after an unfortunate love affair with a british bulldog was discovered by the yellow press. Not the British Bulldog, since homosexuality would have been just fine for the goth…

Waitakere and navigational problems

Did I rave enough about the Waitakere Ranges and the black sand beaches on Auckland’s doorstep? Probably not. Man, it’s just a 20 minutes drive from the airport. And so beautiful. you can molest that sheep without anyone knowing. I give it a Hitler Rating of 10. And towels, yeah, there were towels. We flew…

Pedo-Xmas

Man, I had recurring nightmares of bearded men with pointy hats fucking sheep for a couple of days. That movie should really be x-rated! Luckily, we had a good time to make up for it. Xmas was a bit of rain and a bit of sun, so no really long tracks, which suited the Reisebegleitung…

Gandalf the Pedophile

Driving down south to Kerikeri was beautiful: we took the time to take the scenic coastal route, visiting gazillions of beautiful beaches and inlets. Bliss and joy. KK itself is very nice of course as well, real fruit icecream, need I say more. On a rainy Saturday afternoon we went to Ngawha hot springs, which…

end {strange bowel movements} start {summer holiday}

Ahipara, 90 Mile Beach, Northland, New Zealand Did I say it already? Fuck Cathay Pacific. They haven’t yet managed to reply to my complaints. Nevermind. Life’s too short anyway. Summer in NZ has been great so far! I somehow managed to drive from Auckland to Ahipara on Wednesday although I had not slept at all,…

Coromandel

The last two days pretty much sum up what NZ is all about: Yesterday it was raining cats and dogs in the morning, billions of liters of water pouring from the sky. Two hours later, shortly before lunchtime, it clears up all of a sudden for a perfectly warm and sunny day. Cathedral Cove at…

Satt, zufrieden, glücklich

So stellt sich die Lage am Samstag abend gegen halb neun Ortszeit dar. This is definitely one of the nicest spots in all NZ. I want to live here. First things first though. Leaving Gizzy was quite hard – it is a really nice spot as well, beautiful beaches, good food, nice people, nice landscape…
