Hello, Nilzis are back again!
I hope you all had a peaceful Christmas and a Happy New Year! After
We again safe and sound in the base have been received and again can load images, we want you in the next few weeks next to our school experiences present a few impressions from our vacation.
So here is the first review:
22nd December 2006: Check the direction of Christchurch Dunedin (about 365 km - 4.5 hours drive) in cool weather and rain, still fairly stressful packing up the rest of the little things that children are not yet accustomed to the long drive, in Dunedin only 6 degrees (! ) and horrible weather (as you can only live here?). Nevertheless, a few were
surfing (but already Termo-suit), and finally was so good wind. On 23
came We then at our first stop at Lake Te Anau. There it was quite hot (about 28 degrees) and we thought we had finally found the summer, which it turns out in the next few days, unfortunately, a mistake. On 24
we made with our international friends a trip to the lake and in the evening there was a barbeque and Weinchen. was the mess it then in the lounge (a kind of large living room with open fireplace. The children had quite a pleasure, even without a Christmas tree and with only one gift! There we met two young Israelis, who had just finished her two-year military service (among others, have been in use in Lebanon) and now in New Zealand distance from this terrible Experience seeking. On 25
Then again we made a 4-hour hike to the nearby Lake Manapouri. There on the beach photo shoot was quite difficult, because you immediately attacked by sandflies is. So, dear reader, consider this: The photo cost me some tricks! For
26 We had only 14 days in advance of our trip to Milford Sound posted, unfortunately the weather was pretty bad. There had, however, especially many waterfalls. The Milford Sound is one of the most famous fjord in Fiordland where and when the weather is quite impressive. A striking landmark is the Mitre Peak (= bishop's cap), unfortunately this time he hid in the fog. The sound travels for 2 hours and bloom at this time just the colorful mountain Lupin, which is set in the middle of the wild landscape gave an impressive picture. On 27
was once lazy and 28 We made a boat trip to the glow worm cave. This can only be achieved through the the beds and was only rediscovered because of an old Maori legend. First, it takes a few hundred meters along a raging river in the mountainous interior, and eventually leads into a large cave and the glow worms can-starry sky from a small boat. On 29
We made ourselves a nice day, the weather was not very attractive and so we stayed mostly on the very beautiful and spacious living room, late afternoon It was then packed up anyway, because we leave the next day before 10:00, the property had to order our resolve towards Queenstown and Wanaka.
How we would continue - of which the next time!
you soon!
