Stewart Island, reprise

Stewart Island had some more things to offer ... a telephone connected to a tree, clear and unambiguous signage, and last but not least some shots from the Rakiura track.

New Zealand 2007-2008

So, ein kurzer Rückblick auf Orte und Unterkunft meines dritten Neuseelandtrips, I've switched from Hitler ratings to the more politically correct BBH ratings: Auckland: a good place to start a trip. Nette Hafenstadt, jede Menge Inseln in unmittelbarer Nähe, gute Infrastruktur, gutes Essen. Hostel: Verandahs . 55%, no towels. Stay away from this one. Hokianga (Omapere): beautiful, picturesque harbour, lovely coast, close to the Kauri forest. Hostel: Globetrekkers Lodg e. 55%, no towels. Would have been much nicer if those Dutch idiots had not been there. But it is still the owner's/manager's responsibility to keep kitchen/fridges clean and guests from misbehaving too much, sorry.

Driving down south to Kerikeri was beautiful: we took the time to take the scenic coastal route, visiting gazillions of beautiful beaches and inlets. Bliss and joy. KK itself is very nice of course as well, real fruit icecream, need I say more. On a rainy Saturday afternoon we went to Ngawha hot springs, which rocks totally. Basic, ramshackle pools, or rather woodclad holes in the ground with different temperatures between very hot and scorching, after one hour you have a baby's skin again. Amazing. We stayed at the very nice and highly recommendable Kerikeri Farmhostel and the reisebegleitung greatly enjoyed the Kunekune pigs they keep. Before Xmas crazyness took over the whole place we left for Whangarei Heads and that's where the old pedowizard comes in. But more of that tomorrow, I have to and eat one of the best breakfasts of all times now. Just remember: always stay with your arse to the wall when meeting old man with grey beards and pointy hats.
