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!

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 ...;)

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!
