New Zealand




Hi everybody!
I'm in NZ since Monday, leaving Australia behind for about one month.
The last two weeks on the 'Loriendale' Farm (yes, the name comes from 'Lord Of The Rings' =)) were great and I'll return to Owen and Noreen for another two weeks in the beginning of April, to help with the big 'Apple Day'. I spend the weekend before I went to NZ at Petra and Doug's place and, among other things, I had to return 'my' little Honda =(. It was a great time travelling around with this car and thanks again to Petra and Doug!! I've had a lot of fun with it!!
But back to NZ now: Julian picked me up fron the airport and I've been two days in Christchurch at his place (thanks!=)). Christchurch is a nice city, but even though I left on Wednesday to go to Mt Cook Village. The weather was really bad the first two days and I've already taken a photo of a postcard of Mt Cook to show you... but yesterday was a sunny day and I grabbed some nice pictures.
Afterwards I went on to Wanaka, a little nice town an hour north of Queenstown. Today I went up to Mt Roy, but it's getting cloudy again and I hope, the weather won't be too bad the next couple of days. The landscape is quite nice and different to the area around Mt Cook (third photo).
I'm travelling by bus now, so I'm not that flexible anymore, but that doesn't really matter.
