Back to Queenstown
On Sunday evening I managed to find accommodation for two nights near Queenstown, in Shotover Country. I also had to call the folks at Trips and Tramps to let them know we need to cancel our pre-booked track transport for the Hollyford Track, which we had wanted to do Mon-Wed … . So I phone…
Truly demented I am
Why didn’t anybody tell me I’m repeating myself? Sorry for the last post, but hey, life goes on as my friend 2Pac would’ve said.So we spent a whole day hanging around in Te Anau doing more or less nothing. Not quite nothing, I was on the phone and on twitter all day trying to sort…
Get ready for the future…
Telephone booth on Stewart Island. Probably uses the tree roots for signal processing and transmission. Hope James Cameron doesn’t get to see this, he might sue for Avatar copyright breach. 😁

The road to Milford Sound: Wonderful sunset at Lake Te Anau: Key Summit in the Clouds: Lake Howden: And a rock that looks like a Hamster (not a rat!): đ Marian Falls: Tranquil morning at Lake Te Anau, before we’re headed to the other side, to Brod Bay:
Don’t, just don’t
I’m a bit behind, as usual. Vacation dementia. The long distance flights were quite relaxing, I managed to binge watch the whole 7th season of Game of Thrones, had tons of food and even caught a short nap or two. Service on both SIA and NZ flights was outstanding, the food was really good, too.…

It’s like the whole country has just one tape. đ Charming! So, where we at? Our routing was TXL-ARN-SIN-AKL, all business…
Luggage bonanza
Have safely arrived in Auckland last night. And guess what, now Singapore Airlines has managed lose our second bag as well. Wonderful. It never left ARN apparently. We were already suspicious when checking in Monday morning because the agent sent us to the oversize luggage counter. Although it’s a 50L backpack that still fits hand…
Scandinavian fuck-ups
So, first leg from TXL to ARN. Easy, right? We had a „SAS Plus“ ticket, what they think is business class đ … and arrived in Stockholm on time last night. What didn’t arrive, however, was our bag. It had been left on purpose (!) in TXL because apparently there wasn’t enough room in the…
Bali & Singapore
Singapore Airlines, the bestest airline in the world, has launched a couple of new routes using their new A-350 and there were some niiiiiice ticket prices around for the inauguration. đ So we hit the „book now“ button and scored a nice short holiday, which we spent mostly in Bali and also a couple of…
