Except ..
;)
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!
