My year out in NZ. I will be working and travelling round the country!

My trip with Adi and Uols around the world. We booked our flights and left without a plan what to do and where to go. See also: http://www.ballofdirt.com/journeys/11721.html

This is a blog about my very first international trip to New Zealand and Australia. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Pictures say more than words, so I'll keep it short. In our 6 month of travelling, for the most part New Zealand,i took tons of pictures.In this blog i picked some of them to show my favourite places of my favourite country ;-)...

Auch heute morgen hat sich die Bay of Islands ganz grau in grau gezeigt - dichte Wolken in allen Richtungen. Die Straße, über die wir gestern nach Russell gelangt sind, führt durch wirklich schöne Landschaft, aber bei Regen hatten wir nur wenig Lust, die kurvenreiche Schotterstraße zurückzufahren. So haben wir die Halbinsel per Fähre von Okiato, nicht weit von Russell entfernt, verlassen. Die Fähre war winzig klein und sehr spartanisch, eigentlich nur ein Stück schwimmende Straße, a...

Was a good but long day today. I went up 90 mile beach and rode sand dune, it was good fun but I wasn’t in any shape to try that slope again. Then we were driven up to Cape Reinga, which was a beautiful cape at the top of North Island. Also went into the Kauri forest and saw some very old trees, although we didn’t see the largest one (that was in another forest). We got back to Paihia at about 6pm so I’m just getting ready for the horse ride and tomorrow’s departure back to Auckland.

The morning passed by very slowly with countless jokes from the guide and an overload of information on Kauri trees. Things started looking up when we had the most delicious and huge icecream. We made our way to Cape Reinga and the sun came out (finally). The view was spectacular especially where the 2 seas met as there were waves in the middle of the se...

One of my best trips ever, where I met a lot of fun people and made lots of good friends!! And no, not all Germans are anxious to put their towels on the sunbeds first thing in the morning! More Text will follow.... I am not a big writer.....

Hi, here's the pictures from my well-deserved Kiwi trip after having successfully finished my studies in Australia. Beginning with the Northern Island...

  We left this morning with a special bus. A bus from Kings dune riders. Why special... I tell you later. The first stop was at Manginangina: The Kauri forest in Puketi. Then we bought our lunch in the Ancient kauri Kingdom. We found there a lot of beautiful products made of kauriwood. Then the trip went to the very North, Cape Reinga. There we had a view over the both sea's who are coming together there. It are the Tasman Sea and the South Pacific Ocean.Cape reinga is called...

Finding Victoria. Many countries across the globe have honoured Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the Commonwealth. On my travels I will keep my eye out for various namesakes.

I live here so this is just shots from a beautiful country. The dates are not really accurate but I figured it was better to have more photos in each place.
