Whale watching

We spent the first two days after landing at Waipu Cove, lovely beaches! We headed further north and stayed in a bay close to Russell next, had lots of fun sailing the bay of islands on a small racing boat, excellent lunch included. Thank you very much, oh crew of the “Phantom”. ☺ On the…

Globalization sucks, right?

I mean, this is crazy. I’m of course happy for my homies from g-town that they’re selling internationally but seriously, anybody buying water for this price? Crazy motherfuckers. @Kerikeri new world supermarket.

Bullensperma

Dear reader, I don’t know whether you remember my post from a few years back, when we encountered the tree masturbating hippie women? Anyway, we’ve had an even more interesting encounter two days ago while hiking in the beautiful Puketi forest. We came to a huge clearing and there was a herd of bulls and…

Headed for the ocean

Today, we’ll have a full day of sailing ahead of us. Small boat, no crowds, get away from the Bay of Islands hordes. ☺ Wrestling with sea snakes, sharks, and giant octopus 🐙. The weather is still extremely brilliant, nothing to complain about, even for Germans. I’m still enchanted by the flight experience we had…

Tobruk

Portland, I meant Portland, tobruk is just an anagram, right? So, we had a fabulous time in pdx. Great food, nice people. Our favorite hike was to twisted falls in the Columbia River gorge. It’s crowded on the first two miles but empties out afterwards. And you can just knock people off the path and…

Portland, rock city?

I really like Portland, Oregon. But I keep wondering – having seen for guys with led zeppelin t-shirts in the last two days, what is going on here? Some new disgusting hipster feature that has not been revealed in Europe yet? Two of those guys were really young, too, like early twenties. Je ne comprends…
