First pics

As advertized and promised here's a first short batch of pictures from Kiwiland. It's a bit hard to choose from all we have and under the time pressure of a steaming hot internet cafe but we hope it will be ok for now. So here we go:


Oneroa beach, Waiheke Island, near Auckland


Bay of Islands, Northland


The Hole in the Rock, Bay of Islands, Northland (the water is not photoshoped!)

Moturua Island, Bay of Islands, Northland (no photoshop here either...)

Right now we are in Taupo which is the lake in the very center of the northern island. We passed in places with exotic names (that won't tell you anything) as Paihia, Whangarei, Waitomo and Rotorua and we had some weird rides with strange people, including a road builder from Newcastle, a teethless Maori Reggae dude, an old sheep farmer and a very nice laid back white power couple... We've seen dolphins (with baby dolphins), glow worms, Maori Hangi and some gigantic ferns all over the place. And not even one week has passed. So now we're trying to take it easy, but I can't promise anything.

Until next time,

Good on ya...
