Auckland

Today I arrived in Auckland, a big city where I'll stay one night. Yesterday I went to Coromandel, sea sun and white beaches. Tomorrow I go to the north of the north island (bay of Islands and Cape Reinga). The weather is great, sun sun sun, and I'll stay there for a couple of night to enjoy the white beaches and I wanna make a cruise there. Last week I've seen the mud pool, geysers and all these volcanic activity in Rotorura, amazing! And I climbed the Mount Maunganui (it's only a small hill but the view was great!) I need some exercise before I do the Tongariro crossing (a walk for 17 km) I'm gonna tramp this track when I go south again. It's a crossing over volcanos/mountains, and really exhausted. I met some boys from Israel who did the crossing some days ago, but the weather was terrible, I asked them for the pictures but they took only a few, because their fingers were frozen and couldn't press the butten for taking the photos :) I met them in Taupo (and they had a car) so went to the big Huka falls (water falles and the crater of the moon, steam is coming out from the ground, really weird. Now I'm gonna exploror Auckland and find a food shop.. See you!

Hay people!

Since yesterday in Wellington, after a nice and less nice week in Kaikoura! The first day of my trip, ill, flu, ill, and felt terrible. I went to a docter and did he did some bloodtests. I stayed longer in Kaikoura than I had planned, but anyway it was a good decision. Kaikoura is a beautiful place and last Friday I (when I was better) I went snorkelling with dolphins! Soo great, there was a group of 200, they jumped out of the water made salto's and swum everywhere, behind, below, right and left from you. I also saw 7 whales, which is very unusual and a lot of seals (how cute!!)
