There’s no such thing as too much ice-cream
Right. Nuff said. Especially real fruit ice-cream. Something that is unfortunately (or luckily?) only found in NZ. Best in the world. I must have tons of it. Each day, every day. All day long. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Found a place called Berryland just outside Nelson on SH60 towards Motueka. Wonderful. And they had tons…
Splendid isolation
So hieß ja mal eine eher weniger glückliche Politik unserer Nachbarn von der Insel. Aber man kann das auch positiv verstehen. After making the Reisebegleitung extremely happy by driving to Ohau point where she could watch baby seals play around, we set out on a two day hike across private land south of Kaikoura, the…
Um lustig zu sein, muss die Spreewaldgurke her…
Du warst die Brücke zwischen Ost und West. Du hast uns Westlern gezeigt, wie die Ostler sind. Du warst der erste Ostler, den ich im Fernsehen sah und tatsächlich sind alle Ostler so wie du. Bis auf die Nazis. Für die du nichts kannst. Du hast Hits wie “Spreewaldgurke” und “Zuppel – Zappel” geschrieben, du…
Whale watching
We spent the first two days after landing at Waipu Cove, lovely beaches! We headed further north and stayed in a bay close to Russell next, had lots of fun sailing the bay of islands on a small racing boat, excellent lunch included. Thank you very much, oh crew of the “Phantom”. ☺ On the…
Globalization sucks, right?
I mean, this is crazy. I’m of course happy for my homies from g-town that they’re selling internationally but seriously, anybody buying water for this price? Crazy motherfuckers. @Kerikeri new world supermarket.

Dear reader, I don’t know whether you remember my post from a few years back, when we encountered the tree masturbating hippie women? Anyway, we’ve had an even more interesting encounter two days ago while hiking in the beautiful Puketi forest. We came to a huge clearing and there was a herd of bulls and…
Headed for the ocean
Today, we’ll have a full day of sailing ahead of us. Small boat, no crowds, get away from the Bay of Islands hordes. ☺ Wrestling with sea snakes, sharks, and giant octopus 🐙. The weather is still extremely brilliant, nothing to complain about, even for Germans. I’m still enchanted by the flight experience we had…
Bliss
Perfection is what I always strive to achieve. Of course. Naturally. So far, it’s pretty close to it. I may have found the nearly ideal flight times etc to nz. I cannot recall ever having stepped off a 24+ hour flight(s) feeling so relaxed. Easy. The warm and sunny Auckland weather with a light breeze…
