Singapore was nice, as usual. We returned to stay at the Parkroyal on Pickering hotel, only that I’d managed to get a junior suite this time. I think I’ve raved about this wonderful hotel enough already last May, so I’ll keep it short and simple: perfect. Building, staff, room, food, atmosphere, 10 out of 10,…

Our last two days will be spent, again, in Singapore. Which means food, food, food for me. ☺ On Thursday we drove to Auckland, stopping for ice-cream (surprise, eh?) and a nice lunch at The Farmer’s Cafe (or similar) at Papamoa. Then on to the big smoke, chilling out in the domain in the afternoon…

I finally found out how I want to die. For many years, I thought it would have something to do with football and Werder Bremen. But football has become more and more boring over the past 10 years or so, there’s not much love lost anymore. So how do I want to die? Easy. I…

The whole concept of Islamic suicide attacks has always been a mystery to me. Why would you need 72 virgins? Just imagine, 72 women constantly around you, I bet you’d wish for your suicide vest rather sooner than later.

I’ve eaten so much ice-cream over the past few days, I’m completely brain washed. I want to stay there, please keep me as your pet, all I need is my daily dose of ice cream! Please!

Right. Nuff said. Especially real fruit ice-cream. Something that is unfortunately (or luckily?) only found in NZ. Best in the world. I must have tons of it. Each day, every day. All day long. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Found a place called Berryland just outside Nelson on SH60 towards Motueka. Wonderful. And they had tons…

You might wonder, what the fuck are they doing in the Abel Tasman? We’ve been trying hard to secure a date with Nelson Lakes National Park, especially with the Angelus Hut, but the forecast for the last ten days was mainly shit. So we kinda circled the park, but whenever we checked, the weather in…

Best forecast ever. And so damn accurate.

Seriously, this is funny. Fuck the taxman!

So hieß ja mal eine eher weniger glückliche Politik unserer Nachbarn von der Insel. Aber man kann das auch positiv verstehen. After making the Reisebegleitung extremely happy by driving to Ohau point where she could watch baby seals play around, we set out on a two day hike across private land south of Kaikoura, the…
