Ten Sports Watch The Wwe

Rotorua to Christchurch


Hi,

it's that time again. A few new photos and nice stories from New Zealand.

I'll start again. In the past few days with the family of Pearce, we (actually just Dirk and I still :-) as well as he helped on the farm.

We have lawn mowed,

chopped wood,

a fence (+ ourselves) painted

and every day two cows out to pasture for a few hours of each bull to be related. In this endeavor is the Dirk also something in his left big toe bitten or stung been. There are people who claim it was a poisonous spider. Others say it was a bee sting. What say you?

addition, we were still times when Stan (the diesel mechanic) and have tried to find out why our dear Stephan still losing oil.

On the last night we have then made a farewell BBQ we invited to Stan, his wife Willy and the auxiliary mechanic. Before the BBQ, we will attempt in the clay pigeon shooting. After initial difficulties but each managed to catch a clay pigeon.

After the BBQ we end the evening with a campfire.

It really was a super nice family and time with the family of Pearce, which we will all miss her very much. But I'm sure we will see yet again.

After the unsuccessful search for employment in Napier we went to Wellington first drove there and have the 5 star Intercontinental Hotel checked. I think that we had deserved time :-) This was the only logical conclusion: no more money -> seeking work -> not find work - check> the 5 star hotel.

You have to say honestly to that of Dirk works in the Inter Continental in Melbourne and we have received by the employee rate. So we have each paid $ 30 per night (15 €). The funny is that the hostel would have cost just as much. This was of course a super luxury alternative to otherwise often very simple live in the van and sometimes only cold showers at the beach.

the South Island, we then searched for work and are even found it. After the first day with us is the desire passed very quickly. Pumpkin harvest truly is damn hard work. Fortunately, we were so quick and so good that we should stop on the second day again. The yield of $ 100 was really pathetic. Dirk and I have decided then to go on alone and work better late :-)

course we have before we went too, another small and again incredible Adventures. We were looking for a suitable fishing spot. Andre is at the wheel. As low tide was repaired and we have our all-wheel-drive again, we went again to the beach. Are of course stuck again :-)

But it has also re-took only 10 minutes to the first man with a shovel and boards out of his house came. This time, however, it was pretty hard work to rid the Stephen again. The tactic was this: Jack up the car in front, fill holes with stones, boards over it and the same back again. And it even works. Of course we have not let us take the nice man zufragen where you can go fishing for safe without sinking car. Since there where we were from the shore should be very difficult to accept he has offered us his kayak. We have adopted natpürlich thanks. Since, however, was still low tide, we have set ourselves on the beach near his house and waited.

A half hour later he came out again and has brought us past freshly smoked salmon. It's really amazing how nice people are here. Later in the evening we then got to the second kayak and are rausgepaddelt. From a kayak it would have made sure ne wobbly affair, but we found another boat which lay at anchor in a great position and a small wooden bridge had was fishing from the back of the wonderful one. And as the lucky indeed constantly is on our side it was a fish-rich evening. Everything only small sharks, but at least :-)


then have Dirk and I started our trip on the southern islands. Since a week is quite short and we have covered about 2500 kilometers, we have spent much time in the car. But this is a real treat in this landscape.

are then three more days left in Queenstown and there have, of course, again caught

and us cook freshly caught trout in a restaurant in the port can be.

We were river boarding.

That was super awesome. Almost better off were the water slide

and "the swing"

have addition we rented off-road buggies and have explored the surroundings.

course, we have made use of Queenstown, a day trip to Milford Sound. By nature her again incredible and impressive.


Dirk has left me today morning and is back to Australia. I will spend this week alone in Christchurch and spend all my time to my application for Sydney and Germany. Even though I am a bit sad now to be without Andre Drik and it is an experience to which I am happy. I know somewhere was rare for such a long time alone without anyone. With one week yes even now is not the world. I'm curious how it will happen to me Sun

My next report will probably come from Australia.

I hope you all are doing well. And if not then does something to it and let it go you good :-)

dearest greetings

Alexander

Low Vitamin B12, Ferritin And Vitamin D

Still Rotorua on the Pearce-farm .. Pearce family in Rotorua

Except .. celebrate happened here not so much! .....


.. . NOT!

;)


Hello,

it does us terribly sorry that so much time has already elapsed since the last entry. As the family has paid Pearce last month over $ 1,000 for the Internet, you've decided to turn off the Internet. And since our van was broken so there were few opportunities time to come to town to get to the Internet.

Since the last entry is being done. We have set the porch done


and the van repaired. This has, however, is more difficult than expected. Our host father gave us the a diesel mechanic (aka "Stan the Man") made famous. This was unfortunately too much to do to us to repair the car completely. But he still wanted to help as best we could. So we have built at home with the family Pearce own workshop. First of all have begun to expand the cylinder head. That we have brought to Stan. Diagnosis: cracks in the cylinder head. So we needed a new engine. Stan has once again turned on and we used a new engine concerned. But since he still had no time to have lent his crane with us a few tips given on the road. It was not easy but in the end we have really done it then. For the last Fine-tuning the car but we have again brought to Stan and he has checked everything again. And because we got along so well with him he invited us on the weekend on a fishing trip. The first fish have had to wait because of his expertise, but also not far behind :-) It was the first trout we caught in New Zealand and so have another highlight of our trip. we have a boat, and fished in about 30 meters deep fly in three series (1m distance) and then tied up and down plucked. Of course, the weissersche gesort glueckskugel ensure that fish caught alex 8 of 9 to 4 even though we have were. J .. still the whole tour was great fun, .. the two are older gentlemen in their role to teach the young guys something really dawned beautiful ... of course, Stan was also reasonable proffer us proud to be a boot .. as we further track-back place had I asked him of course if he just topspeed runs, and he just grinned and said "watch this!" and pressed the speed lever all the way down and the engine began to howl and the nutshell flew over the water ..

of course we have not got the grin of the face and everyone had fun! ... The change of an engine's sure to be a great experience .. especially one pays pretty good money teaching .. be led as you see in the photographs, the motor through the passenger compartment. this is also not quite so far there really is a lot of space. So the thing must be maneuvered in zigzag in the engine compartment. problem is that the crane entities, and limitation of movement is .. at least it has moved us one day cost the motor in the right position and then in the evening determine that the engine mounts is fixed, so the seats on which the motor, unlike our old motor, were we have to change so they would have previously. super! The next day was therefore inevitable .. the whole crap again ummontieren and all over again. however, the feeling of riding in a car has changed his heart to itself is just great!


Actually we wanted to be even further down, but the host mother is sadly come to the hospital. She had 16 years ago, a liver transplant. As far as I have understood correctly, the drugs apparent the lymphatic system have been damaged in one leg. This becomes swollen leg and often inflamed. She was in the past 5 weeks now 2 times in the hospital because of it. The host father asked us to stay until she is back from the hospital. This favor, of course we want him to do and we like to stay a few days.

is now finally released Dirk join us to us a few weeks to travel and enjoy life.

course it is not in here so that's nothing compared to other experiences, but nothing to write .. The photos show so what else have we done yet .. were at a horse show with the girls. then they are swimming with the horses in a lake have been .. pretty awesome that it's so easy here. Although New Zealand is in many ways quite conservative and strict, but very liberal when it comes to freizeitgestalltungen ... what a natural as the local is really necessary ..


otherwise we were shooting at night possum and occasional fly fishing, but so far except for a big catch, as you can see images on the fairly unsuccessful in fishing. but this will change soon .. should!


go on here in the next few days in order to napier, looking about 170 km south of here after working wine estates on ...

wzar not know how we sleep with the dirk to hammer out because of the van to sleep too small for 3 and only 2 people is allowed, but there is already ne way to find .. we strap him not to hold on to the roof;)

will you try to get back to better keep you informed.

oh yeah, Alex and I have applied for jobs at the university of canterbury. We should be adopted as could be our plans for the next few months Change abruptly.

otherwise we allow ourselves to grow mustaches just wonderful that we of course you do not deny .. I mean, if not here then where? ;)

you soon

your guys!
