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…

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…

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,…

Had to abort vacation last week and return to Germany. Back in bloody Berlin. Cold. Dirty.

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…

I’m going to write more … later. Have to go eat first. But meanwhile, a photo of the one and only tanmaster mastering the waves of Wainui Beach.

Während ich ja eigentlich alles esse, was nach ordentlich Zucker aussieht, braucht der Chef eigentlich täglich mindestens ein gutes Muffin. Das war bisher kein Problem, aber in den letzten Tagen ist ein Muffinnotstand eingetreten. Es gibt einigermaßen viele Backwaren, sogar einige Muffins, aber wer mag schon Bananenmuffins oder Mohrrübenmuffins? Der sehr leckere Frischkäse-und-Schinken-Muffin war auch…

Arrived at Wainui Beach, Gisborne today. They had somehow lost my booking so I got a better room for the old price instead. Nice! Right on the beach too. Lots of briliant left-hand breaks here, rolling in. And a completely deserted beach as well. I can’t believe my luck. Of course, the moment I took…

… ist Icecream vom Feinsten in ordentlichen Mengen! Der Chef ist mit dem bisherigen Tag wohl ganz zufrieden!
