Cape Reinga

And from the north to the top. Yesterday we went to Cape Reinga, and 90 Miles Beach. We rent a little van for 8 people and one day trip up north. Was much cheaper that go with the bus(bus 100 $ and we paid each 37 - more a tyrel. :P
Nice trip but much hours in the car, we drive 500 km and not in motorway. ^^
The weather was perfect, so visit the light house, and swim in the sea at the sun set time,awesome!
Now, today I will move to a DOC campsite, to stay few days and visit the huge trees on the west coast, and back to Auckland in 6 days to take the fly to Switzerland. I'm back is the end. And maybe that it's the last post form New Zealand, I will see if I have internet or not. See you!

Pahia

Up north!! Here I'm, ready to leave in one week.
Around here I have met some people in a Backpacker, because once more it was rainy, so I did some things to enjoy Bay of Island.
The first day I went for a little ride on a bike to get to know the region. The second day we went kayaking around the islands on the brown sea ^^. Fun but cold and dirty.
Some pictures to show how was it, because that one was everything, no much to do when the conditions are like that. :P





Well, tomorrow we go to the top of the north! ;)

Karekare Horses Race

Here I am, in Karekare again for the horses race on the beach. Big preparation, and much people. I help Caroline and the family where I'm staying to mount and take away the material for the race, because they are the organizer, and the day was quite bussy.
The race was very nice and not to competitive, was a regional race, friendly and all the racer were here for fun.
I took some pictures but the day was not sunshine, so again bad colors but just for show how was, It's enogh.



After tomorrow I leave to NORTHLAND for sure. (Under the rain againc:( ) but we will see.
Lasts 2 weeks... Relax.... jejeje

Coromandel

In Coromandel. 2 weeks before departure. Afternoon in the rain, 4 days that the bad weather don't stop. Storm in the kiwi holiday region. ^^
It's that. Quickly info. Normally it suppose to be clear water in the beach and sunshine. But it's just the inverse. I still been to visit all the mostly famous places but underwater I thing that it's not the same.
I met some people in the backpackers and we did the tour together, but chill-out.
My first idea was go to camp during this days but … you know!! (But I will stay next week) Well, well… was nice, different.

I'm leaving Coromandel Peninsula tomorrow to Auckland, because gonna be rainy until the week-end, son try to visit some other places, and go to Karekare to the horses race in the beach! jeje. I'm going to stay in Grove house for the 29th-30th and after go up north.

Dunedin 2

Hello every body! Long long, long time in Dunedin, reason that I'm writing again about. Close than 1 month that I spent there working for accommodation with friends.
We do a little bit everything around. We organized a football match versus another backpacker, and funny nights and days with Lala ^^. And continue with the awesome meals. Lasaña, crepes, tortillas, tortilla española, apple comber, paella, salads, some germans meals, and I can say …. etc. :P
But time to move again, only 3 weeks left, so… try to visit some places in the north and time to fly back. I'm going to Coromandel, Waitakere National Park, and Northland(north of the north Island). I will write about ;) But first leave Dunedin ^^

Dunedin

Only one month more, and I'll go back to home! ;)

I'm staying in Dunedin from two weeks, and I will stay one week more. Very good place, good friends, good partys, and save a little bit the money. So, my mouvement was just after the Catlins, came here and work for accommodation. Really, I'm to confortable, but I'm going to move the next friday to Chrischurch, fly back to Auckland, visit some people and travel a little bit around some places close to there.

So... I don't have to much pictures or different news to tell, so next week I will write some new news jejeje

Well see you soon!

Catlins

Hello!!! How is going? About me, all is right!
So, this weeks were again movement. I knew only in the last moment, you know! the plans can change very quickly, and is something that I really like about travelling.
Well... after Mt. Coock I came back to Duniden, and from here we went To the Catlins, region in the south, between Invercahill and Duniden. Nice region, no much tourist :P, seals, pinguins, dolphins, and beautiful coast, with cliffs and big beach with great waves.
We spend there one week as well, so we had time to do everything posible to do. ^^. I try few days surfing, and met a man that he lent me a bodyboard!... but of course the mostly important is with who are you travelling, and ... we were a good combination, good friends :D.
Awesome week.







Now I'm back in Dunedin (again), But this time for work a little bit and save money for move the las 3 weeks, because I'm here only for 1 month more :(. But I feel very well in this place, so... try to change the type of stay, learn surf during this next week if the sea continue with waves :P. This is my plan(for the moment)

Así que.....
Un abrazo!
A bientôt!

Mt. Coock ... and ...

Hola hola!!! In Dunedin again for Write about this last week ;) Everything are perfect, and I'm back because I found again a little job here for save a little bit the money ^^. But for the next week, now moving to the south again to visit the Castlings!(Coast)
So I'm going to travel another week just after the visit to Mt. Coock, Long beach and Elephant Rocks(This to last are places for climbing), and wanaka and queenstown again because was the only road to return jejeje.

We rent a car (same that now for this next week, travelling wich more liberty.
The places for climbing was awesome! And I thing that I will come back to this places before leave. And the Mt. Coock was with also good weather, very lucky! Just unlucky for the view to the Mt. cause in the top of the Hookey Valley was a little bit fogy!



After, I continued to Wanaka and Queenstown to met the friend from when I been there. Much mouvment, much Km in no much days, so my plan(that finally change again in the last minute) was relaxing in Duniden in the Elm Backpacack where I met really good friend, reason that I'm going to work here.

Stewart Island

Here we are!!! Te Anau- Colac Bay- Invercalhill- Obam- Dunedin
After another hiking week, I'm arrived in Dunedin from Stewart Island, the island that are mostly in the south of New Zealand. We took the ferry 6 days ago, and we went to a walk for 4 days. Again beautiful weather... but the tracks were very muddy, and this one, was the reason that we walked (me, Marko(CH-D) and Guillaume(CH-F)) alone during all days. Beautiful beaches and dense forest again with much birds. (Bad luck for Kiwis but ... doesn't matter ^^). Awesome sunrise very colorful and of course full of sunflys :P.
Well stop talk and show you some pictures, "one picture it's better than 1000 words" so ... see you soon... !!!




Well, I don't know were is my next destination, I only know for the moment that I'm in Dunedin for the St. Patrick Day ^^, so....after we'll see ;). Long Beach, and Elephant Rock are the only plan that maybe I like to go.(Climb)jejeje

Kepler Track

Hey ya! Relaxing Days, ^^. Fabian and me, we finished yesterday the Kepler Track, It's a great walk in NZ. We spend 3 night in the track. The first day was quite good and easy, slowly and good weather, the second and the fourth day also, and we walk in the forest, but the third day was in the top of the mountain, we had very strong wind and "SNOW", very cold!! extremely conditions, quite hard. But also beautiful landscape again, and forest very dens and green. Was a nice walk, but a little bit nuisance with the Sunflys!. Here I show you again very good pictures that we took.

Te Anau

Queenstown

Yeeee menos mal!!!!,Well I'm in Te Anau but I write for Queenstown! I spend there 1 week, and after I leave to Milford Sound, the mostly famous Fiord in New Zealand because is quite easy and accessible to arrive.
During this week there I met good people in the Backpacker and we did some staffs together (Fabian,Sandra,Hannah,Rob). We had not a really good weather, but…. Good. I walked to the submit of the closer big mountain, aproximatli to 7 hours walking and very step. But the best was... ride biking. A friend give me a bike, I toke the gondola for half day and up and down, up and down. Really really good, I never imagine that is possible for me to ride this tracks very step and fast in the forest and fly in bigs jumps…. just AWESOME!!!!
