Our stop in Auckland, harbor and fish

It's pretty far away after all. If you sit on the plane in Beijing and wait for the flight to Auckland, the map shows 10,500 km, which corresponds to a flight time of around 12...

Auckland is largely located in a volcanic field with 4 active volcanoes. The last eruption was 600 years ago and we hope it stays that way for the time being. Our time in New...

The weather couldn't be better on this Sunday: blue sky, sun, light breeze. I sit on a bench on the promenade with my colorful breakfast leftovers, while the campsite behind me...

The early waking up continues. On this day too, there was no sleep after 06:00 in the morning. So we got ready and had some cereal with milk for breakfast.Now it was Sunday in...

Long long time ago I can still remember... Oh man, it's been a long time since I wrote anything here, but due to the poor internet connections in the last hostels, I couldn't...

Our second stop is Auckland. Auckland is a tad more expensive than Dubai but definitely worth the money. At first, we were skeptical because like in any big city, it was loud...

Even from the plane, you can see how beautiful New Zealand is. Everything is green, mountains & coasts are just amazing. Once we arrive at the airport, we have to go through...

ERGOS New Zealand trip

I'm chilling and found some great shells again. Unfortunately, no sand dollars. I walk along the beach for four hours on foot. Today it's soooo pleasant. 22 degrees, no wind,...

Funny, actually we thought we would spend a whole week in the Coromandel region. In the end, it was only 2 days. You never know how things will turn out, but the campsites...

'I never want to fly again' was probably mine and Paddy's favorite phrase on our 33-hour flight to New Zealand. But after being thoroughly checked and 'sniffed' by the dogs at...
