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
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.
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 :-)
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"
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
