Tongariro Crossing
I hope I didn’t sound to negative in yesterdays post. But I was fucking hungry. After I’ve had had a really nice dinner I felt better instantly. Today I got up at five to get an early start for the Tongariro Crossing. It had rained the whole night but „forecast“ said it should clear up…
Whitianga / Coromandel Peninsula
Yep, auch hier war alles noch so, wie ich es hinterlassen hatte. Lonely Beach immer noch lonely und schoen und natuerlich Cathedral Cove, still absolutely amazing and fabulous. It was a bit crowded because a) I had to go there on a Saturday and b) it had been closed for two days because of bush…
Day whatever, Jan 5th, Whitianga
I finally reached my dream destination: back on the Coromandel again. Apart from Wellington and Auckland this is the only location I’m coming back to this time and there’s a reason for it. The hostel is absolutely marvelous, if I were to revert to the old Hitler ratings it would be a 11 out of…
Happy new year, btw
What’s gonna happen in 2007? Germany has the EU presidency so we can go on to mismanage Europe just like we do it at home. Schlaudraff wird Bankdruecker bei den Bayern. Dann hat Poldi wenigstens einen neuen Playstationkumpel. Umzug vielleicht? We shall see. Irgendwie gefallen mir einige Dinge momentan nicht so doll. Ansonsten: same shit…
Days 3-5: Paihia & Whangarei
Actually, this is the first time that I’m in an Internet cafe and not hurting oder feeling hungry or tired. Deshalb mal etwas ausführlicher. Am 31.12. ging es morgens früh nach Paihia, Bay of Islands. Das Hostel dort, Pickled Parrot, war ok, obwohl der Raum doch sehr klein war, da hat man schon Besseres gesehen.…
Day 2: Auckland, Waiheke Island
After a full night’s sleep the jetlag was finally gone and we set out to Waiheke island at noon. While we were waiting for the ferry I took the opportunity to test the icecream at Valentino’s (in the Ferry Building) and I can recommend it to you wholeheartedly. Excellent! Waiheke island was excellent as well.…
Paradise City
I`ve finally arrived in Auckland where everything seems to be just the way I left it here nearly three years ago. Actually, I`m way to hungry at the moment to go into much detail. Suffice to say that the second leg of my flight (with Cathay Pacific from HK to AKL) was okayish, but Asian…
Von der Maas bis an die Memel:
Doitsche Bahn muss sterben. Aber immer der Reihe nach. Live from the business class lounge at Hong Kong Airport. Luxury is bliss. 0. Cologne: Unfortunately my friend suddenly got struck by flight panic (or whatever is the correct term) and could not make the flight. Which is why I’m travelling alone again. And probably why…
Kiwi pornography
I’m not there yet (still abusing my parents‘ computer), but I’ve found some highly illegal dating and porn sites that I wanted to bring to your attention. Here you can find single kiwi women looking for males, complete with pictures and all: New Zealand Dating Site. This site is not really illegal in new Zealand,…
Google und Freud
Eigentlich nehme ich sie ja gar nicht war, die kleine Werbezeile in Gmail. Aber das ist mir dann doch aufgefallen: Werde ich mir natürlich in Auckland sofort mieten, wenn meine Begleitung rumzickt und den ihrigen nicht zur Verfügung stellt.
