Let's go to the slit eyes ...

One last time> Kia Ora < !!!

The time on the Cook Islands was beautifully simple, but all has come to an end only the Wurscht two and so we flew on 10 February back to New Zealand in Auckland everyday ...;)

We were soon behind us and we set off to explore the North Island with its volcanoes, hot springs and great Surfstraenden.

First we walk to Coromandel Peninsula, a rugged peninsula of rocks with ancient Pohutukawa trees, unspoiled scenery and stunning natural spectacles ...
We sent our poor by Van bumpy and very windy streets to the stunning Cathedral Cove, a centuries by the sea shaped sandstone formations, which can be interpreted as a church door.

The "gravel-road meanders deeper into the hilly landscape and ended in a picturesque fishing village, its attraction as a magnet for tourists.
We heard from many travelers on this trip, but never really believed it and when we arrived at the famous beach, we could not believe our eyes: hundreds of people, young and old tuemmelten to lying, crawling and laughing in a bathing suit (it was quite cold at the moment) and equipped with shovels in the sand and dug holes from which boiling hot water!
were built right pelvic systems with different temperatures for where everyone was there. We lay very lazy in an already-made nest and built our pool even further for our enjoyment. Now and then we had to cool off in the sea, if too much from the boiling hot water in our pool was just unbelievable.

After this event, we were totally thrilled by the hot springs that bubble spread over the entire North Island, and planned our route to further this unique Hot-Water-bodies, which led us in the Maori stronghold of Rotorua.
These thermally active area was settled very early by Maoris that the hot water use for cooking (in the Maori villages even today!) And your Haeser built on the warm ground, for protection against the cold of winter.
was therefore the culture of the locals get very good for us is now a tourist attraction number 1
We looked at one of the Maori villages, learned how Birds and other animals in the hot steam can be steamed and were allowed to attend a Haka, the terrifying war dance of the strong men. Be sure to gaze ...

The weather was quite cold and rainy, so we were the sources in handy ...
were of course all over the city, which was overshadowed by nasty and rotten egg smell, available swimming pools, we made ourselves, but on the search for a source in nature and found another spectacle, which the Hot Water Beach, almost even surpassed!
a divinely warm creek meanders a few miles through the bush with waterfalls and large pools where you could swim great.

was also among the Maoris, the secret agency known and so we had a very familial afternoon.

But suddenly our mood changed abruptly, because when we went back to our car, we found it empty and, with broken doors ....
Our passports, our money, July's clothing, Complete, MP3 ... it all away! could

The police of course does not help us further and that was for us complete the journey in New Zealand. The mood was at zero and we went (luckily the car was still there :-) now back to Auckland for our baby, the only valuable to sell what we have had and to get our new passports.

The Pechstraehne was fortunately not for long, because we sold our "buddy" for the same price we paid to a Czech couple the next day.

This unexpected Zeitluecke until departure for Singapore, we rented "Senior", a very leisurely small cars, and were even more spectacular volcano in the center of the island and explore the idea of New Zealand feed up a little.

We visited other fine hot springs, exploring a huge Hoehlenlayrinth, whose ceiling was lit by thousands of fireflies and saw finally, the elusive national animal, the Kiwi. Because the wingless, blind and intimate Kiwi active only at night, we could not take any pictures, but here is a copy in large so you can make you a picture:

We passed also a great surfing beach , where Julie finally was able to ride the waves and Michi swung to a boogie board.

The road to the volcano area led by the beautiful Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake, and the same city had to offer. We saw the mighty Huka Falls, the most impressive in NZ and about the ethereal "Craters of the Moon", another thermal area with smoking and steaming craters, boiling geysers Schlammtuempeln and correct.

The weather finally cleared up, the sun shone again as hard as we knew it and begin the incredible hike around the Tongariro volcano could! The
brutally overcrowded trail (it probably waited a few more for good weather) climbed to the top of the still active volcano and we were rewarded with spectacular views of lakes tuerkiese, red crater and the surrounding volcanoes. Now we can quite imagine why Peter Jackson just this mountain for Mordor and his breathing Fire Mountain chose ... it was missing was Frodo and his ring!

The land of the Kiwis is wonderful to see the
we now distinct and clear.
We are definitely back,
with more money and even more luck ...;-)

What Kind Of Weave To Use

island paradise Cook Islands

Kia Orana!

Our South Seas dream has come true. The last 10 days we enjoyed
white sandy beaches, palm trees and colorful flowers,
Hueftschwuenge of islanders and fine decorated coconuts in deck chairs.
We flew with Air New Zealand on 31.01. to Rarotonga, Cook Islands and the mainland arrived at 30.01. given at the same time ... we were by the time shift, a whole day!

We found the spot the perfect bungalow right by the beach and as the Kia Orana system was so remote, we had the snow-white beach and the shade inklusieve palms coconuts for us alone.

July completed the "difficult" Fuehrerscheintest for motorcycle, which consisted of driving around the block, and is now the proud owner of a Cook Iceland drivers license. So we could then borrow a scooter and explore the island on your own
.
we discovered beautiful sandy beaches with crystal clear sea, a waterfall in the country which as "amusement" for the locals was in vain and we could stock up on fresh bananas, mangoes and Passionsfruechten of the trees.

One evening we were living a fantastic Iceland-Night at, reported in the flowery locals do their best.
The men had their muscle and assume its just brimming with power Kriegestaenze before. The women were of course responsible for the exotic and alluring ...

celebrate Friday evening is announced on Rarotonga, since this is the only evening when the pubs and bars (there are 3) to be open by 2 clock at night. The
we let us not miss a fun evening and enjoyed the company of dancing and smiling locals in an open-air bar.

Since the Cook Islanders are a very faithful people and are more churches than houses on Rarotonga, the service was on Sunday morning Duty.
The songs were cheerful and composed in English and Maori singing, all took at the hands and the atmosphere was really unique.
July were close to tears and we both sang vigorously with course!

with July's 21st Birthday, we flew with Air Rarotonga, a very shaky Proppelermaschine, on the unspoiled island of Aitutaki to the island paradise still get a little closer.
waiting there a wonderful Stohbungalow to us, even with direct beach location and great views of the sea tuerkiese. There is no such an incredibly clear and colorful water it only here on this most beautiful places on earth.

We had a Lagoon Cruise with a wooden boat and crew very nice, the donut us beautiful snorkeling sites, and one-footed Iceland, where there was an exotic Fischbarbeque. In response to a tip, we took our passports and take the trip and was worth it! The only buildings on the uninhabited island was a post office, we actually printed a stamp in our passport! A perfect souvenir!

We Borrows, two canoes and went to her own support Endeckungstour. We found a small island with about 10 palm trees and beautiful beach, which will be as our own called. We cracked ourselves a coconut (which was already taught us by locals when they saw how we hired on our first nut ...) and we felt a bit like Robinson Crusoe.

Time went by incredibly fast as ever, but the memory will help us stay on forever!

When Is Genital Herpes Contagious

Mt Cook, good wine and beautiful beaches ...

Gruess love you passed people

again two varied

and entertaining weeks in beautiful New Zealand! Time passed for us in a flash and 5 weeks for the South Island was definitely too short! We are now already in Auckland, the largest city in the North Island. The 3-hour ferry ride
from one island to another offered fantastic views of the Marlobourgh Sounds since the ferry went through the middle

Fiordland.

But first things first ...

After the meeting with the penguins we had a stark contrast program. We turned away from the coast and headed inland, the largest mountain in New Zealand. The road took a long time by hilly countryside during the lunar mountains were always higher. First, we visited over a short track the Tasman glacier lake. Two huge glaciers flowed together in a large lake studded with ice floes. The surprise was even bigger than us a lot deeper into the canyon and drove the 3700 Mount Cook occurred in the backdrop. We recognized immediately the snow-capped peaks, it looked almost as if from the Mount Cook standing out on purpose. Steeply it rises out of the big mountain and we arrived at the perfect time of day, for the entire south side was dipped in a deep red. We took great pictures and enjoyed the peaceful mood with a glass of wine!

The next day we took a walk into the Hooker Valley and came to be the overwhelming mountain again closer the target, another glacial lake was fed by all sides.

from there our route then over Christchurch to the village of Kaikoura that fuehr Watching whales is known. Whales we saw, unfortunately, but for herds of sea lions and seals on the rugged coast, including the largest in New Zealand. Thousands of the intimate, fat animals tuemmelten there and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

was thus completed the East Coast and the Marlborough area began in the north, famous wine region for delicious Chardonnay and Blanc Sauvinon and beautiful Fiordlandschaft. We visited three wineries and tasted very einfrig us through all the varieties, which ended very funny ...

After an adventurous and very winding road were followed by a Fiord and spent in a beautiful bay, a lonely night, we drove to Marahau, the Basisoertchen for all kayak tours in the famous Abel Tasman National Park .
We tried as determined from kayakers and gave a funny picture. July forward, dogged and unnerved face and Michi squeezed and desperate rear. We struggled on and were so incredibly happy to have solid ground under their feet. We left our kayaks again and decided to pick up the Coast Track walk continue to walk to ...
The sea along the coast had an incredibly intense color and we found some white sand beach and secluded coves for us alone. We stayed in two cabins both were in a beautiful seaside location. In this area, the tide is very pronounced, strong and as you will often Bays crossed, we had to depend on the ebb. We then walked hundreds of meters above the sea floor, which was uebderdeckt with shells and Krebsloechern.
The time was really a very different hike! In the breaks gespungen in to cool sea and the path was partially right on the beach, so we walked over to big backpack and hiking boots to bikinis and swimwear.

After Abel Tasman Track we explored nor the northern tip of South Island, known as Golden Bay . An alternative and more relaxed area, nice beaches and good auszuchillen to there a few days. We had this time no longer, because the ferry on the North Island was already booked.

We arrived in the capital Wellington on the ferry and went immediately on the way to Auckland, as we board the flight to paradise on 31 01. not want to miss.
On the way we met in the city of Hamilton for New Zealand conditions high on our old acquaintances from the Bavarian Kepler Track! We spent a fun evening with Andy and Chris at a bar with live band and lots of cheerful Maori ...

We let our dream come true and fly to the beautiful Cook Islands in the heart of the South Seas. July is her birthday this year under a palm tree to celebrate and we both leave us after all the "hardships" of the last time a real treat ...;)

Range Report, Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40

and Fiordland penguins, beaches and snow-capped peaks

Kia Ora!

The Endeckungstour the country of contrasts continues ...

Te Anau is the starting point of all excursions and activities in Fiordland, among other things started there, another Great Walk, the Kepler Track .
This long and challenging hike was about 3 days and since the popular tour this time of year is very busy, we had reserved two cabins on the road. Since we are equipped for 3 days with food had the backpacks were correspondingly heavy ...
The trail wound, the first very steep exhausting hours up the mountain and the tree as we marginalized exceeded, we enjoyed breathlessly about our first look at a real Fiord! The forested mountain slopes fell vertically from the blue lake, which meanders are endless in the mountains.
learned in the Luxmore Hut, we griabigen two Bavaria
know Endeckungstour and the two refreshed our knowledge
fool again ...;)
Since we are fairly well understood, we joined together for the next few days and enjoyed together the magnificent mountains of New Zealand. In the early morning the next day we took out our flashlights and explored the 500 meters away from the Hütt'n Tropfsteinhoehle. That was the real adventure! We scrambled deep into the pitch dark Cave and marveled at the wrong limestone formations, which had formed in the course of the last thousand years.
looked at the impressive expedition we even correct Kalksaeulen.

Then we started the second part of the hike, about the Mount Luxmore and over two Bergkaemme with a wonderful view to the next hut led.
The weather was top class, and bright sunshine, blue sky without a single cloud, and with a hearty snack at the 1471 m high summit we could see for miles over the snowy treetops.






The second cabin was in a nest abschaeulichen sand flies, which, unfortunately, something the evening verkuezte as we soon fled to bed.
The third day was really just down the road and went back to the car is of course ever!

We spent another enjoyable evening with the two Bayern Andi and Chris with sheep's head and betting fun cooking bolognese sauce ...


From Te Anau the road continues to the legendary Milford Sound . We started in good weather, but this was getting worse and pretty soon it is pouring down with rain, but in this area is probably completely normal. The dense fog clouds tiefhaengenden given the increasingly steep mountains and a mystical atmosphere of waterfalls everywhere came tearing out shot. The papageiaehnlichen Kea birds feel at ease and degree of the weather during a short break along the way we came across
two of the rare specimens.












The road ended in Milford what ansich only one airport, where to start all Scenic Flights and a harbor where ships dump all the Scenic. We took a boat tour with a very small boat, which was a very good decision. So we came up close to the up to 2,000 meters high, and our captain Fiordhaenge even contributed to the impressive waterfalls, so that the last passenger was dripping wet! The thrilling tour through the complete fiord to the open, Tasmanian lake where our boat rocked very serious! In the way back we saw more intimate seals lounging on the rocks, just great!


















The next day we took a huge piece to the student city Dunedin where we have the rainy evening mending with a movie. Before Dunedin is the animal-rich peninsula Otago Penesula where sea lions are huge the next day some fun and exciting time bestowed. We came very close to the fat ran mammals, which were either lazy on the beach and threw their fins in sand or in the sea war upon each other. We hoped to have a look at a flying albatross to catch, the nestet world's only on this coast, but this did not work unfortunately.
Instead we saw the next day finest and most intimate penguins in the wild!
we discovered the little yellow-eyed penguins when they came out of the sea to feed their young. Believe it or not, but the nimble penguins climbed easily up quite a steep slope and met their young. The colorless still whole plush boys can not have been older than 5 months! We could not believe what is happening there in front of our eyes!




























New Zealand has (too) offer incredibly much, we are not
process for our impressions!

How Much Time To Recover From A Ruptured Spleen

adventure sports capital Queenstown and surrounding mountains and sheep

Halli Hallo,

we will get back with super great impressions and experiences!

the New Year's Day we spent again comfortably third and enjoyed the most beautiful weather the next day and then parted our ways after almost 2 weeks. We took the road towards Queenstown one, the self-styled adventure sports city where you can really do everything you always wanted to do again.
These range from white water Raftig, canoeing and jet ski tours to sky diving and ski-diving to beautiful climbing routes or Abseilaktivitaeten. Since July've always wanted to plunge into the depth and bungy jumping in New Zealand found its origin, had to apply Bungyveranstalter no great persuasion more. The
Spung took place in a spectacular location, about 400 meters above Queenstown . July was incredibly excited and was very happy that Michael took her sweaty hands and held for all eternity. July, jumped bravely 47 meters in depth and then was so enthusiastic that they immediately wanted to jump again. Since there was still the highest bungy in New Zealand ...
It did not take long and already July was back in the office of AJ Hackett (the bungee operator) and booked the second jump, 134 meters of spectacular Highest Bungy New Zealand! You have to go to watch the video, it's so hard to describe it. We went to a deep and steep gorge in the middle of the gorge floated the jump station, given by thick steel cables. We were both associated with a small cable to the station and for Michael was only the already exciting experience. The moment, as of July on the ramp up and looked down into the depths and jumped in 3, both of us will never forget! That was really a crazy day!

-------- 47 meters-the Ledge ----------------------- --------------

Newis 134 meters at dusk, we drove

a beautiful route Lake Wakatipu, along up to Glenorchy, a small tranquil village in a fantastic location. There begins the Route Bourne Track , one of the famous Great Walks, we took the next day in attack.
The hike led first through a dense forest ferns, which was getting lighter the higher we climbed. When we reached the tree line (which is in New Zealand is significantly lower than ours, at about 1000 meters) we were rewarded by a great view. The narrow track leads through marshland, offering beautiful views of the surrounding mountain tops. Just before the climb to the 1,500 m high Conical Hill, the aim of this hike, was the very picturesque Lake Harris, where we pitched our tent and celebrated our 3 anniversary. A nice place for the occasion, we would not be able to look for.
climbed The next day we saw the summit and from there even to the Tasman Sea. This time fortunately the weather held well on the way down!



Back in Queenstown covered us with food for the whole next week. The supermarkets here are pretty rare and sometimes there are over hundreds of miles is not one, the same way, for gas stations ...

The canyon rich with the famous Milford Sound Fiordland waiting to be found this one of us ...
