Whakaputaina: 27.11.2017
Today I am invited to a party in Auckland. Luckily, I was able to sleep in because the mountain tour was canceled. Yesterday was beautiful but very long. And you also have to digest the many impressions somehow. When I drive away from the White Horse Hill Campground and after a few photo stops I just can't go on anymore, completely overwhelmed by the impressions, what all long-term travelers have told me happens, happened. Great, and of all days I have to get on a plane to Auckland again. So I use the unplanned time and go to the High County Salmon Farm. There I feed the fish, eat fresh sashimi and drink a very good coffee. Then to Tekapo airport, today we go in a fully occupied helicopter, a Bell type machine, to Christchurch and from there in a small plane to Auckland. We actually start on time and I arrive as planned. The evening is going to be great. Later in the hotel room, I am happy to have a real bed again. Very early in the morning, I go back to the VW van to Tekapo. The second part of the journey can begin. Until now, there was a rough plan, now I will continue based on instinct!
