Beautiful rainforest
Long time no write. Was too busy doing nothing. ☺ looks like our timing was perfect, we left Brisbane on Thursday when it had already started to rain like crazy, and they seem to be plagued with heavy rains and winds ever since. Whilst we are enjoying the tropical dry season up here in the…
Lamington National Park
I think we’ve never had such a smooth arrival before. Plane was fifteen minutes ahead of schedule, no queues St immigration, baggage out immediately (thank you my Greek frineds), no customs hold up… Picked up car and sim card immediately from arrivals hall within another few minutes, 15mins drive to accommodation, brush teeth, go to…
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

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. Probably the best stay of this holiday. So I spent some more time playing with Harald, walking and running on the beach, soaking…

77 heißt ‘Grüß Gott’ …
We were driving from Napier to Stratford, Taranaki a couple of days ago and that was somewhat frightening. First of all, I saw this billboard on the side of the road for “SS showers”. That would be a complicated sell in Germany. Next was a billboard for “SS homes”. So I was starting to worry…
Mozzie festival @ Lake Rotorua
