Lisa in New Zealand

We had a verrrry long weekend because Sundays are off and we didn't have to work on Monday and Tuesday either because it rained. On one hand, it's pretty nice, but less work...

In the last few days, there hasn't been much going on. We've been working every day and just relaxing or sleeping early in the evenings. I've moved back in with the guys and...

Um 12 Uhr mittags soll ich am Motel sein, war die Anweisung vom Boss also ausschlafen und los geht's. Peters Frau hieß mich willkommen und ein paar Minuten später traf auch...

Today we drove the remaining kilometers to Gisborne and drove through a gigantic landscape. Everything was green and there were sheep, cows, and horses everywhere. Meadows and...

Like every day, the first hours of the day were spent enjoying the view. Today we wanted to visit Rotorua, the city that has countless geysers and hot springs to offer. However,...

In the morning, we explored the area. A dream to experience something like this every day. Then it was off to Cathedral Cove, which we reached after about 20 minutes of walking....

With absolutely perfect weather, we set off for the Bay of Islands for the first time in shorts. We passed by amazing beaches and also came across another waterfall, the Haruru...

We didn't want to miss the first ray of sunshine, so we set an alarm for 5 o'clock just in case. But since it was still pitch dark, we turned it off and got a few more hours of...

Mittags sind wir Richtung Norden aufgebrochen, etwas mehr als 400 Kilometer liegen vor uns, bis wir am Cape Reinga, dem nördlichsten Punkt Neuseelands, ankommen. Auf dem Weg...

Wie sagt man seinem Boss am besten, dass man nicht mehr für ihn arbeiten will? Richtig - gerade raus. Also sind wir 3 zu ihm, um mit ihm zu reden. Erstaunlicherweise hat er es...

Wake up at 6 am, be on the mat by 7 am, like at the post office back then. First, pick for 2.5 hours until the first 10-minute break. The boss extended lunch because the midday...

The next day, I showed the guys what I had discovered the evening before and we went for a short hike. The next destination was The Warehouse, but it took a while because I had...

In the morning, we explored the beach. Super beautiful but really windy, you can tell that it's still spring. The campground owner gave us fresh eggs and a lemon, and then...

Today we had to check out at 10 and then picked up the remaining money for Otis. That was a struggle, but thankfully everything worked out great. At 3, Shane's mother picked us...

Heute war nichts spannendes, wir haben ein bisschen recherchiert was das Auto angeht und sind abends in eine Bar, in der es freie Getränke und gratis Pizza gab. Nice!...

Today was Piet's birthday and we had been thinking all the time about what we could do. Nils, a roommate, gave me the tip to hitchhike, so we stuck out our thumbs and hoped that...

Today we went to the bank again to pick up our cards and submit our documents for the tax number - so the work can begin! From the bank, we walked on to Mount Eden, which was...

We had to get up early today because we had to check out of the Attic and move to Base Auckland, which is 2 streets away. Check out was quick and then we had to wait until 1...

After a good night's sleep, we decided to have a relaxed day. Breakfast, laundry, and then we made an appointment with the recommended car dealer. But in the afternoon, we ended...

An Tag 4 haben wir entdeckt, dass es gratis Tee und Kaffee im Hostel gibt - Instantkaffee und schwarzen Tee. Einmal und nie wieder, meine Geschmacksnerven waren nach dem Kaffee...

At 8:00 am, we cleared the couch and set out into the streets of Auckland. In the next street, we discovered our first breakfast location - Subway. Something new for a change....

Nach 21 Stunden Flug und wenig Schlaf sind wir endlich in Auckland angekommen. Es ist 23:00 Uhr ortszeit und wir hatten noch den Zoll und die Gepäckkontrolle vor uns. Das ganze...

Today was a day to say goodbye. At 8:00 a.m. we left for the airport. My mom, my dad, my older brother, me and 3 of my best friends, after they first fooled me that they...

On Friday the 7th of October, a nice family farewell evening was planned, first going out to eat and then sitting comfortably together at grandma's. But when we arrived home...
