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…
Sunshine on a rainy day
Our plan for spending the rainy day was extremely successful. 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…
Sulphur Hotties
This is really the first year where we don’t have any itinerary at all, we just look at the weather forecast and then decide on the next two days or so. Of course this has the potential to turn into a classical TSP scenario, so lucky us that we’re atheists and have the brains to…
Dutch treat
We had another one day and a half after Geraldine before our flight to AKL on Sunday (I triple checked the time *g*) and decided to give the region North of CHC a chance, especially since it’s not featured in any guidebook or anything. And what a great choice that was. Again we had hit…
Masturbating eco sluts
Well, so we were walking down Mt John through a forest consisting mainly of fir trees. I think, at least the branches had needles. 🙂 when, all of a sudden we stumbled upon two girls softly and rhythmically stroking such a fir branch. I tell you, this looked really bizarre and crazy, and the first…
Masturbating German Christians
What a disgusting title, right? But first things first. We made it to NZ after all. When I wrote that nothing could stop us now in my last post I kinda forgot to add ‘except my own stupidity’….. . Ever missed a flight because you misread the boarding pass? How stupid is that? :O well,…
Off to warmer shores!
Five hours ’till take-off. Backpack’s ready, boarding pass is printed, kindle is loaded, nothing can stop us now. 🙂Our timing proved to be excellent now that real winter finally hits Berlin we’re getting our sweet arses out of the cold and into the sun. Doha-Melbourne-Christchurch, and then off into the mountains for some leg stretching.…
Hawaii, a résumé. part III (fin)
Last stop: Kauai. Took me a while to wrap this up since, funny enough, I can no longer use blogger in chrome. Embarassing that google is unable to make their own browser run their own blogging platform. Time to move to a different service I guess. Google has started to suck anyway, after enduring a…
Hawai’i, a résumé, part II
Maui. Yeah. After the big disappointment of Big Island, I didn’t really have high hopes for Maui. But it actually turned out to be a little bit better than the Big Island. A lot of the same problems apply though: Most of the nice beaches are ruined, the US has raped the land and built…
Ich war in Hawaii dabei!
Ach ja – Hr. Kohl ist wieder so generös mit den 4-Buchstaben-Wörtern.So richtig furchtbar war es meistens nicht – irgendein Schätzchen hat sich meist gefunden.Treefrogs sind klitzeklein und übel laut – aber eigentlich angenehmes Hintergrundgeräusch. Berlin kann das schlimmer!Vom 4WD hängt nicht der Erfolg des Urlaubs ab, aber es ist einfach geil, einen zu haben.…
