La Gomera Food
Well, who gives a shit about continuity anyway? Might as well start with the most important thing – food. đ Short summary: Very good. Long form: While I always appreciate local cuisine, it can be hard to find delicious stuff for vegetarians in some places. If you like dead animals, especially fish, then no worries.…
Rheinsberg 09/2021
In the meantime, catching up on some old stuff. Some nice pics from our weekend trip to Rheinsberg in September 2021. Lots of mushrooms. Great ice cream, apparently some guy has „invented“ real fruit ice cream here as well now. Well, one man’s invention is another man’s copy … but I won’t complain as long…
La Gomera November 2021
Codename: Gran Culo con Agulo. 151,22km, 6820m ascent, 7090 descent. (Not counting the countless times we walked from Parador de la Gomera down to the city centre and back đ .) Mostly around 20 degrees, sunny with a few clouds, perfect weather for hiking. Warm nights near sea level, more chilly up in the mountains.…
GBI forever
Below some more pictures from GBI, our new favourite spot in NZ. Well, so says the Reisebegleitung at least, I still rate Ohope a bit higher because there is real fruit ice cream in Whakatane, but not on GBI. đ Medlands Beach is simply the best, but the other views are not too bad, either.
Ulysses
Things kinda got out of hand, no reliable internet for more than a week. So I’m giving up on chronological order here, switching to pure stream of consciousness. Call me James.Fuck yeah, we did some nice hiking this time. The track I’ve posted earlier, the loop track around Punakaiki, is not even an „official“ track,…
Island time
Paradise exists. We’ve found it. Great Barrier Island, in the Hauraki gulf at Auckland’s doorstep. Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Fantasmogoric. We’re staying at the lovely Medland’s Beach Lodge, which is right on Medland’s Beach. Ocean views from the bed, beautiful sunrises. And perfect wave after perfect wave on a flat, sandy, lonely, safe beach. Doesn’t get…
Komoot not cooperating
I just saw that the Komoot embeds are not working, so here’s another try. Paparoa NO Croesus Track (partly): Paparoa NP/Punakaiki Loop: Nelson Lakes hikes:
Greymouth, Pt Elizabeth
St. Arnaud was really good to us, I must say. Wonderful region, and the town itself is undeveloped in a nice way. Just one word of warning: Stay away, stay the fuck away, from „Dine Hard“. The worst food I’ve ever seen. Disgusting. The Alpine Lodge, on the other hand, much better food.Or take the…
Nelson Lakes National Park
After a nice lunch in Nelson a short drive up into the mountains to St. Arnaud. Finally. We’d had this on our list for years now and something always came up. Well, not something, but the weather, to be precise. There was always weeks of rain and storms up in Nelson Lakes NP when we…
NZ, again
Boring. Went to New Zealand again. Had fun. Nuff said.You’ve read it all before, haven’t you?BUT, and yes, it’s a capital letter but, some things are slightly different this time. First, we booked the same international flight, SIA C from ARN via DME/SIN to AKL, but we did not fly SAS from TXL to ARN.…
