Adieu Auckland - South Island Hello!

Here you can see where we were ... the map will from now on, always updated:) is

The review period with all its amenities sadly over. How much I will miss all the lonely night shifts, the hours at the computer and headaches?

Hmm ... not!

It's time your eyes will get used again to light, to represent the feet, but above all to format the hard disk. Behind the latter can be a hook. Quite timely written after the last exam, so to speak with pen and calculator in hand was the first beer of freedom ordered.

also reward time! (... Sponsored by TUI)

If you think that the evening degenerated quite excessive, is right perfect, my head hurts me still ... But other things were on our "to-do list:

first (Months or more J- ) Preparation for the next holiday weeks meeting, read: let the glow credit card. From A for "car hire" to Z "toothpaste" wird der Urlaub durchgeplant. Und ich kann schon jetzt voller Stolz behaupten, dass sowohl ein kleiner Bus gemietet als auch eine Tube „Colgate Triple Action“ erstanden wurde. Der Urlaub ist damit in trockenen Tüchern.

2. Schlaf nachholen (…ca. 16 bis 18 Stunden am Tag)

3. Innerlich schon mal ein wenig von Auckland verabschieden. Schließlich werden wir in nächster Zeit die neuseeländische Südinsel und diese kleine vorgelagerte Insel namens Australien erkunden, bevor wir im Januar noch mal auf einen kurzen Sprung in Auckland vorbeikommen werden. Und was soll man sagen? Icke nüscht, aber die Jenny kann am besten bezeugen, that Auckland will present again from its best side:

If we would be out watching a fish out of the window would look something like this ... we will miss the view!

by Basti tricky Lernerei I was unfortunately forced to Auckland more or less to see for myself. I had completed my school successful, nice people and learned a bit what is learned. But Bastian had two more weeks before him in which he deeply into extrem interessantes Unizeugs versunken war. Meistens bin ich aus unserer Wohnung geflohen und habe dem Denker unsere vier Wände überlassen. Zum Glück hatte zu dieser Zeit schon der Frühling Einzug gehalten, weswegen mit der Entscheidung, in den Sonnenschein raus zu gehen sehr leicht fiel!

Liebling, wir haben die Jenny geschrumpft!

Den einen sonnigen Sonntag spazierte ich zum Beispiel durch das malerische und künstlerisch angehauchte Parnell bis zum Auckland Domain, and facilities of the local museum. The exhibitions in the museum itself, I have avoided because of the enticing sun. But was attracted by the botanical greenhouse, which holds a large and colorful variety of exotic plants and ready to try the music students in their musical instruments. have admired

Neoclassical impressive ... the Auckland Museum, which we guaranteed only from the outside ... went

On another Sunday from 9:30 am to unchristian it on the weekly market in Parnell. This was a special treat, as it were offered in addition to freshly harvested vegetables, freshly picked fruit, fresh baked bread and freshly slaughtered meat, freshly baked bagels with excellent (fresh) cheese paste and freshly brewed coffee. So it can still indulge in a Sunday morning. Later that Sunday, we strolled said, nor on the destination of Aucklanders simply: Mission Bay, a small piece of beach almost in the middle of the city. Accordingly, half the town was there and the beach is very crowded.

Sometimes I am also in the evening fled from our apartment to go to the diligent student of his work for Mr. without distraction. Among other things, was on the program: go to the loved wine cellar, going to a concert and sit in a student dorm, the other around and talking nonsense. Such activities went two weeks had quickly ... and hey presto dididum Basti was again traveling through Auckland, but not before all other students once again firmly on the successful semester (fingers crossed please continue Press until the results come) to launch. But it was a red card was not intended (see some previous blog).

We ask three scouts are probably thinking, who drank all the beer on the table.

After Basti got enough sleep because we were on our way to Mount Eden, one of the many volcanoes in Auckland. On foot and flip flops (not quite such a good idea), we needed such a good half hour to Mountain and a little bit more to the summit. The small rise was rewarded with a stunning view of Auckland and the surrounding area: not only the port and the Skytower caught my eye, but also the offshore islands and a piece of the distant Coromandel. Too bad that at the same time, a whole shipload photographiersüchtiger Asians Mount Eden, besieged for a lot of turmoil and ensured we prefer again walked home, not without making a detour to the museum. But how could it be otherwise, in Auckland, the museum closed after five-Clock!

Mt Eden, a volcano in the middle of the ... City's skyline in the background, the focus of the crater.

had apparently not received enough sleep Basti, because while I started last Thursday with fever and Mark on the way to the zoo, turned again to Basti in bed and listened to the mattress. Unfortunately he missed it a personal highlight. But from the beginning: The zoo offered a variety of exotic animals, which are dominated Unfortunately, as in many other zoos and forced by a certain boredom (tigers and rhinos, which always go in a circle). However, currently also find comprehensive Construction work to establish the appropriate conditions enclosure. In addition, there was a large section with animals of the barrier island Australia, that is, wallabies and kangaroos. And between vegetation and colorful birds and wild parrots, it could also walk very well. But the absolute highlight was the native animals that have been presented in a special show. After a few introductory remarks and a reference, please be very careful with the New Zealand nature, my aunt tipped on stage to a tree trunk and revealed a small kiwi. Well, present, he was not small, more like a thick ball that has no desire to move, except when food nearby. This small positive variable nature, that as it should be otherwise in danger of extinction, is settled in peace photograph of us and we asked to have all sorts of questions. And it was really a unique experience, because it gets a bona fide Kiwi not watch all days!

Broiler ... uh ... uh ... yummy kiwi sweet!

But when it comes out at all? Where do we sleep? And who has turned the clock?

The card that you can see above shows that New Zealand's two main islands. The idea with the card is swiped in Mark (as Mr, I think, also in his blog), the idea with the red line is from Indiana Jones (You know, if he flees from continent to continent, one sees always ne ne red line on world map travel, well anyway ...). On the map in any case, our itinerary will be tracked. Already located the places where we were.

The first week we will spend on the North Island, making it a couple of beautiful mountains, volcanic landscapes and the capital Wellington uncertain. Then put we ferry to the South Island about to leave race the most important and most beautiful spots of the island circular counter-clockwise. I think that's enough then first as info.

Overnight stays will be in a campervan (see blog entry "Aaron and Elmo"), either somewhere on the beach or camping sites. We have had good experiences so far in this regard and hope that this will be confirmed in the next five weeks as well. We will try to provide you with the freshest blog entries ... The thing is of course dependent on whether Internet connections are available at each campsite and in what Quality. We have had bad experiences in this regard so far and hope that they can be refuted in the next five weeks.

Well, we do not want you continue to bore you with our plans, we will contact you soon. Wish us luck with the weather! See you soon, the Kiwi ... Cheers!

soon, from another town ...

Last but not least: The Asian Food Court ... delicious and cheap!
