Unsere Reise in die Welt der Elben, Orks, Maori...
The last stop: Christchurch - Garden City of New Zealand
I have explained and classified every single plant in the astonishing family according to department, class, order, family, genus and finally the species.
Sea lion like this to Dr. Dolittle-Pitti: "You can't come in here!". Dr. Dolittle-Pitti said to the sea lion: "Ummm...well..."
Protecting Dunedin's natural harbor, the Otago Peninsula is a true natural paradise on its doorstep.
From the lighthouse by the sea to Dunedin
By the way, Dunedin is called Ōtepoti in Maori...sounds like Offenbach.
I need a shovel to dig out the dog, which must be lying here somewhere
Where are we? Kaka Point on the southern west coast of the South Island. There's nothing here, just the dog buried. But wonderful!
The Ents have done a great job: Isengard is gone!
Today we were where the dark tower of Saruman once stood, in Isengard.
Fireflies are actually voracious predators - until they mate!
Second part of our day tour to Te Anau - the Te Anau Glowworm Cave in Fiordland National Park.
No chithaeglir, last beth there: Rimmo n in bruinen dan in Ulaer!
Day trip part 1 to the river Bruinen, the natural border to Rivendell.
Queenstown - a little bit like Austria: right through the NZ Alps
Across Mount Aspiring National Park and over the Crown Range Road Pass.
Westland Tai Poutini National Park: Hike around Lake Matheson
Fox Glacier from a distance and hike around Lake Matheson instead of helicopter and quad bike tour.
Franz Josef Glacier / Waiau: The TouriHeliQuadHotSpot in the NZ Alps
Franz Josef Waiau below the glacier actually has only one purpose - to sell helicopter sightseeing flights.
Hokitika Gorge, blowholes and pancakes...around Greymouth
A coffee later and another 30 kilometers inland along the Hokitika River to enjoy the Hokitika Gorge Walk.
Coal and gold rush: Māwhera at the mouth of the Gray River
Māwhera or Greymouth - both place names have the same meaning.
Puponga / Wharariki Beach: Where Mr. Windows lives with his seals
The highlight of the day: the hike to Wharariki Beach, across meadows, pastures and dunes... to where Mr. Windows lives.
Pretty much done: Wellington, Picton, Nelson
Arrived at the Beachcomber Hotel in Nelson on the last stretch after a two hour drive through the mountains.
Curious: Traffic light man woman with gastrointestinal problems and Thor's hammer
The moral commotion on the harbor tour: a shitty traffic light man woman!
From the sun to the wind: at the southern tip of the North Island
First a picture-perfect sunrise, then a fresh breeze around your nose - from Napier to Welliongton.
Back to the 1930s...Art Deco city of Napier
Napier is a small, fine city directly on the Pacific, approx. 65,000 inhabitants, the Aschaffenburg of New Zealand, so to speak.
The Shire...in the "Green Dragon" at Bag End
A fantastic tour in fantastic weather through the Shire
Invited to dinner: Maori brine meat?
In Rotorua there is Maori buffet, a local brine meat, so to speak.
There are places that you absolutely have to see: Cathedral Cove in Hahei
Nothing to do with chilling: The last day on the Coromandel Peninsula took us to one of the points in the world (if you're already there) that you should definitely see
Today is hiking day! Coromandel Forest Park - Waiomu Kauri Grove
Rest and relax - that is the motto for Coromandel. What do we do? HIKING DAY!
Tinkiwinki, Lala, Dipsi and Po...drive through Teletubbie Land to Pauanui
On the way to Pauanui we stopped at the Maramarua General Store somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The owners spoke Maori, I spoke German...
In den Norden: Matapouri, Tutukaka, Whangarei
Fantastic! We drove about 200 km north of Auckland to a small beach, Whale Bay in Matapouri. Small parking lot on the side of the road high above the coast, few cars,...
Hill up, hill down...Auckland or Tāmaki Makaurau
1.4 million people live in Auckland, which is around 1/3 of the New Zealand population - but you somehow don't notice it. The city seems to consist only of hills, always going up...
Above the Clouds - Toture Part 2 / SIN - AKL
The airport in Singapore is an eye opener. Butterfly park, waterfall in the mall, pool area.
Little India, Tag 2 in Singapur
Shoes off and Kharma cleared. I feel balanced.
There is order here! Singapore day 1
We successfully ignored the jet leg. That is, almost. Get off the plane, go to the hotel, the room isn't available yet so we fell asleep by the pool.
Above the Clouds - Toture Part 1 / FRA - SIN
Departed at 11.50...Singapore Airline, just under 12 hours. Always into the night... the sunlight was fading over Turkey, and it was the deepest night over India.
PIDISI sechs Tage davor...
Six more days and then we'll set off on our 4-week trip to New Zealand - our first long-distance trip. So almost: Child (hereinafter referred to as Child or Simon) was further...
