Waitakere and navigational problems
Did I rave enough about the Waitakere Ranges and the black sand beaches on Auckland’s doorstep? Probably not. Man, it’s just a 20 minutes drive from the airport. And so beautiful. you can molest that sheep without anyone knowing. I give it a Hitler Rating of 10. And towels, yeah, there were towels. We flew…
Pedo-Xmas
Man, I had recurring nightmares of bearded men with pointy hats fucking sheep for a couple of days. That movie should really be x-rated! Luckily, we had a good time to make up for it. Xmas was a bit of rain and a bit of sun, so no really long tracks, which suited the Reisebegleitung…

Driving down south to Kerikeri was beautiful: we took the time to take the scenic coastal route, visiting gazillions of beautiful beaches and inlets. Bliss and joy. KK itself is very nice of course as well, real fruit icecream, need I say more. On a rainy Saturday afternoon we went to Ngawha hot springs, which…

Ahipara, 90 Mile Beach, Northland, New Zealand Did I say it already? Fuck Cathay Pacific. They haven’t yet managed to reply to my complaints. Nevermind. Life’s too short anyway. Summer in NZ has been great so far! I somehow managed to drive from Auckland to Ahipara on Wednesday although I had not slept at all,…
Iron Sky Tour 2012, VI (rest)
Finally got around to finishing this. We drove from Mesa Verde to Monticello, Utah and again, there’s nothing to complain about. This is really hard for us Germans, we are brought up to whinge and complain and moan and when we finally end up having a good time we are fucked because that’s against our…

Mesa Verde. You can read all about it in Wikipedia, so I’m not going to repeat the obvious. It’s fascinating and really, really strange. First of all, it’s a rather long drive until you’ve reached the area where all the action is. There is, of course, a visitor center and you can book a ranger…
Iron Sky Tour 2012, IV
Tell you what, it’s totally hard to judge those distances in the sand dunes. And it’s a nice workout, too – three steps back for every step you take. But all the sweat was worth something – I discovered a secret that’s going to turn the world of historians upside down: Rommel lives – in…
Iron Sky Tour 2012, III
We did get a pretty cool car. Thank you, Avis. They gave us a brandnew (2 miles on the meter) 2012 Subaru Outback. With Harman Kardon speakers. đ Buena Vista was nice, right on the foot of the mountains, in the middle of nowhere. Good place to stretch your legs. We stayed for two nights,…

The flight from TXL to LHR was delayed again, this time due to bad weather though, so not anybody’s fault really. We still managed to make the connection to DIA, even found…
