Singapore, Changi
Gotta love this place. Chillin out and getting ready for the last leg to brizzy. Peace out. 🐊 🐊 🐊
First leg, no disasters so far
We made it. We were on time at the airport this time. đ what a feat of German efficiency and punctuality. And even better, we made it to FRA ahead of time, with five hours to kill until the next flight to SIN. Thanks to our Greek friends of Aegean we’re enjoying the senator lounge, catching…
Singapore
Singapore. Back after 13yrs. Finally. I love this city, walking from restaurant to restaurant, exploring food stalls, eating the day away. Definitely my cup of tea. And the botanic gardens, the bird park, the bay gardens, etc. Perfect spot for a long layover, especially at 35 degrees. đ and even the super skeptical and at…
Gorgeous Gorge
We decided to spend our last couple of days on Waihi beach and stayed at a brilliant bed and breakfast aptly named Beachfront Bed and Breakfast. Great place, lovely hosts, perfect location.

Mozzie festival @ Lake Rotorua

Eco Hippies from Outer Space
After three fantastic days in Whakatane I feel pretty safe to declare that this is probably really my favorite spot in NZ, Ohope Beach to be precise. 11 perfect, glamourous, lovely, charming, inviting, … kilometres of sandy empty beach with great surf. What more could one wish for? Well, maybe heaps of great produce from…

Soak and swim for a couple of hours in the hot springs, spend the rest running on the beach, swimming in the ocean and eating heaps of real fruit ice-cream, muffins, and fresh berries at both the lovely Blueberry Corner and the even more lovely…
