New Zealand day 8 - 18

So guys here I am after several hours!

I had an roadtrip from Lincoln to Te Anau for seven days. Some days were wonderful and some days weren't good at all. But the end of the roadtrip I went to Queenstown. First of all I will telling you something about the roadtrip.

Without cellphone and internet connection I went from Christchurch to Lincoln. The first thing what we did, was fueling the car, after Ruty and I met each other. It started with  a nice conversation where I paid forty dollars as well. Expensive conversation but It was fun. The first thing what we are going to see is penguins in Oumaru and went in the city of Oumaru. It  were special penguins, Blue penguins! What is special for these penguin? It is the tiniest penguin in his kind! I almost feel like a penguin if I am looking to my knowledge :p









After the penguin invasion we went to Dunedin. Here I stayed for three days in total. In those days I went to the speights brewery, to get drunk. But I also get to emerson's brewery and I did some hiking tracks and went to the birds reserve near Dunedin! I wasn't only away but I had a very good nights with Ruty, Deepal and Shane! It was fun to play Four Kings ( Dutch: Kingsen).



So I have put a lot of alcohol in my body. The next morning it was tough to get up and we will go to The Sinclair Wetlands. After the wetlands we went to the Manaku Gorge Tunnel to see some glow worms or to eat some glow worms. Nice piece of meat. When my bully was full and gave some light in the gave, we went to the Kaka Point Bush Walk, Nuggut Point, Cannibal bay and made a stop in Owaka.

Next day we are heading for the Purakaunui Falls, Tautuke Estuary Boardwalk, Lake Wilkie, Curio Bay, Slope Point, Riverton Rocks and Mores Reserve. The last part what we did today was Round Hill.



















The last day of the roadtrip we went to the Clifden Caves and to Manapouri to see the power station and we went also to Te Anau for the Glowworm Caves!

No doubts about it but I am going to see Doubtful Sound after the roadtrip. Yeah, what awesome! Only there is one problem I have no rain jacket who cares I will have to wear my yellow tennis jacket and tennis jeans! On the vessel I meet Ben and Louise! I have laught a lot with them and unless the weather isn't so good at all the new contacts are wonderful, that I have made!  After this journey I am in Queenstown, where I will arrange my cellphone!

New Zealand day 7 Moutain Biking



The first week finished almost! So I want do something active and I will cycle to Lyttelton! I ask an old man, Alexander, to borrow his bike. It was possible to borrow the bike. I will making me read for go! Thus I am going to cycle and I will cycle through Sumner where I have been already. Starting with cycling and I cycling against the wind with was a little bit a pity, because I want to be quick in Lyttelton! So as quick as I am, I will be in Lyttelton in one and a half hour. After an half hour to cycle to Sumner I get to road block. This is a pity and I starting to ask people how I come to Lyttelton. The first person tells me to go over the bridge and go to the left. So I don't know which bridge see meant but I will take a stop at a bus stop to look at the map where I can cycle to Lyttelton.  On the map I have to go to the 'pleasent mt road' and then go left to the 'summit road'. I thought "oooohhh it is to easy to come in Lyttelton".

When I start the journey at the pleasent mt road by bike, I start to climb. It looks like a tour the france or something like that. It was very tough to come to the summit road and the journey takes some more minutes then I have expected. But I should be going further on and make some pictures during the bike tour. It is incredible how the sight changes if you bicycle up to the hill with a hardly wind. The wind blows so hard that you hear him scream above you and I almost fall off my bike. So I make some stops to enjoy the sight as well and taking some rest! After a half hour that I am cycling I meet an old man. So we have some small talk and it is very fun to cycle with someone! I enjoy it very much and we are heading to the top of the hill. But again the road is closed. Again I have a bad feeling that I cannot making it to Lyttelton but the most positive person on this earth (I :p) says "we are going for the top no matters what happenend and we can enjoy the sight!". I have to go on and finally reached the top of the hill that used to be a vulcano.



At the top of the hill I went to a place where I can look to Lyttelton so I can reach my goal for that day. Even I don't actualy be there, but I have seen it and that's making my day happy on a vulcano!
Standing right on the vulcano spot isn't something to being afraid off, but the vulcano isn't active at the moment or is sleeping. An old man says: the sleepy vulcano can become active when there will be an big earthquake. The earthquake was predicted one honderd years ago what means that the vulcano is one honderd over due with becoming active.
At the top of this sleepy vulcano is the sight unbelievable gorgeous  and I like to bike a lot! Probably I will bike in New Zealand a lot! 

New Zealand day 6 Christchurch-Sumner-Christchurch

A energyfull day after that I have slept eight hours. I get my pens and paper to write down some things for my personal vision! Later on this day I have walked like a penguin for thirty kilometers* on my slippers. I know it isn't very smart to walk on your slippers but it very good wheater and if I am walking on the beach I don't want to be walking in my sportshoes!

* the journey is 15 km one way
A long walking trip / journey on my slippers can't be marked without photos / pictures, so her they are:

New Zealand day 4 Christchurch

At this day I arriving at Christchurch.... WHAT you kidding me! I am in New Zealand! I asked myself a lot of questions? What I am going to do, Where will I stay, Why for fuck sake I am doing this? and a lot more questions to make spaghetti of my brains!

I have met a guy in the air plane. His name is Paul and he booked a hostel. So I don't look up for a hostel because he has booked a hostel so we are going to find the hostel!

That's was it for this day because I didn't sleep much during the last three days!
This is the hostel and good looking sight:
