Preface:
Hey Mates, sorry it again Bißle lasted longer, but we have experienced so much and found so little time to write. Also, the internet costs in the North gleichmal 3 times than in Auckland and is only partially available. So a lot of stuff (stuff) for you to read. Does it to you one who knows when we reflect what! : P
BYE BYE Meadow Song Farm! We have left the farm with her wonderful people behind us and are now en route to the north. The road north was lonely and difficult. The landscape was traversed by green Huegelketten long, lonely winding roads, tiny villages and deep jungle forests. Before we reached Ahipara after 7h trip, also had a bay to be overcome by ferryboat. Since it rained all day had, we were compensated at the end with a beautiful sunset (see picture). In the beginning 90Mile Ahipara Beach and of course we did not let it take the same time on the beach to shoot a round with the car.
We are a property of the "Other" Art nahegelaegendem searched on a campsite where we schlufen in so-called "Cabins". Generous one could also call it Kanickelbuchten. 2 beds, a table and a trash can adorned the 6m2 space in the Spartan style.
The showers were outside, as usual, it was ever before the one in Pueschie (Sleepwear) and flip-flops over the place had to scurry. Of the bathroom at night proved to be bleak and cold. We want to now complain here, we are falls backpackers and our aim from day to day. It was cheap and nice and reasonably clean.
The day after! 
The next morning we expected a glorious day with bright sunshine. We went to Cape Reinga, the northernmost tip of the country. A truly spiritual place, as we had learned. But back to that later.
scheinde endless beaches also have (unfortunately) is over! At first it was to overcome the 90Mile Beach. I know not who has since settled, but we only had 62Milen on the odometer, that is 102km. rumzugurken The fun on the beach did but no Abbriss. Left the sea, the right meter high sand dunes, before and hinteruns - NOTHING:) What more could you want?
The sand was sometimes so strong that it easily reached the 100km / h, but alas it any water supply comes from land. Then it was schonmal slightly bumpy.
We played so wild pig, trying out our Bullenfaenger Moewenfaenger one to make. The soundtrack was this whole drama of the music of the Beach Boys. The flying "rats of the sea" as I call it love, turns out to be extremely clever and quick and so we let it also be good. And before the Humane Society like crying. No, there were no animals harmed and we had it not really happening: P (you never know who will read above)
From Mile 50, it was then but a little monotonous, so we went in search of an exit. The only way leading out was a small river bed of quicksand in which we defied easy thanks to 4x4. Locker, we overcame this exciting place and it was only a stone's throw from the Cape.
(If you can not advance a procedure would have * cough *) At the tip of the North Island! finally arrived, it went through a small portal with a Maori theme. Everywhere were signs mounted that about the spiritual significance of place for enlightening the Maori (natives). Eating and Drinking was therefore not allowed and so we pushed us unnoticed even fix a Muesliriegel behind before it went to 20 minute walk, which led to the famous lighthouse. We fought through crowds of bus tourists and out-dated loose the mid 80s samples,
where you could get the belief that people come to her death.
According to Maori belief that, not so after weighing, since this is growing on a hillside
a freak of nature. A 800-year old "no idea again now was called" tree, shimmy down to the supposedly the souls of the dead, to start their final journey. I wondered at that moment, rather what would happen to that of the idea is, simply shorten for the thing? He would be famous for sure, but popular? ... You do not know! I tried to catch a whiff of this spiritual place, but more than the smell of a delicious cheese sandwich I could not receive. WHAT! Eating is banned here, I thought? Anscheind was for the Americans .... Tssse!
Well, now the cap is not only an attraction for the dying people, but also the meeting place of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific. And who wants to know the full explanation should come from complacent self, for it is incredibly impressive. We would have this spectacle could watch for hours, but have since then made the coffee terrorists crossing the road, it was Time for us to move on before anyone could come up with the idea to have it all hang out. (I love this word game, if it sounds a bit macabre Half of hats probably not eh gathered. P)
It is him, the bosom of nature and can sometimes be the middle of nowhere! Our path led us on to Spirits Bay. The real secret, which is controlled by any bus. Led away from civilization, a lone small dirt road to this beautiful bay, which we left did not escape us, thank God. I can really only write good about it. A lone abandoned, covered with a shell beach, a wild camping with cold showers, more or less free-running horses during sex and a slope of a sugar loaf was like it was on display. Well, and we would have had a tent, we would certainly have stayed longer there. On the way back we took only the desolate highway back, because now the water was at its Rueckmarsch and we could well do without on wet feet, only to go again on the Beach.
An almost perfect day, if we do not have to wash the car would have. Although now it seemed sometimes like a real off-roader:)
cu (seeyou) guyz your Beachboyz!

te us, we already have endless stairs hinterunsgelassen, it should not be the last, the fog disappeared and we were on a level with the clouds, which are slowly dissolves. As we stood at 1650 at the foot of Mt Ngauruhoe on a small plateau. What is avarice, we wanted to look into the abyss, so it was said to master the 800m steep ascent. Who schonmal ne sand dune is started, you know what I'm talking about. Just as it did feel, the mountain ash hochzukrabbeln tedious. Completely out of breath erre 
we layers after 1 1/2h somehow the Gip 
doubt and did not look bad that we view on a comparison seemed endless sea of clouds had. TOLL ... clouds! I will not conceal that this is a highly active Vukan rises from the constantly a little smoke. It is probably only a matter of time! It was slightly windy and chilly in just under 2200m altitude, but we have let us not miss a course welcoming 2.tes breakfast to eat. Only one fix Virgin sacrificed to the god of fire to calm down and then off you. We made the descent in less than 20min! Who knows sandboarding, who missed Ashboarding or as I like to call "Volcano Surfing". So we slid down on our bare feet of the mountain, I would have even packed the slippers! 
hu started looking up, thank God, not as high and steep. Arrived 
we were frozen in a small snow field. The clouds gave up and there was yet another view, which we hold in photos do not. We fed the schwelfigen sources, a well known smell we shot through the nose ... it smells yummy again rotten eggs. We stayed there for long, it's me enigmatic as some rest there and what could eat. 
We are another step on the ladder "has gone". Having a surprise had quickly bought a tent from Eric to travel "and worried the uebriegen Campingkram, we found ourselves after 2 nights in Coromandel Hahei and there still in the hostel, and finally at a campsite in Mt Maunganui again 
great before and Vulkankullisse with sea view included. The tent is 1A Premium with tent and space for four people easily. Thus, the camping is a pleasure. In the summer we will be in it can certainly spend some time if we will eventually travel around the South Island. 
The beach, however, was the best event, which we could make, at no cost. 
r North :-) purely set), and a beer after work to do so. The dream of each New Zealand travelers. Ultimately, we were about 25 people in the hole and were able to enjoy the starry sky at chubby temperatures. The whole was so great that we really early the next morning once again are going to be able to splash in the hot water at sunrise. Highly recommended. 
not easy to stay on course, but with an indication on the horizon a feasible task. In the zigzag course we got our goal, the famous Roberton Iceland slowly, at the time of his James Cook (the founder of Thomas Cook) dropped anchor to explore the region.

dangerous because if the Water from the eyes or ears loses, then it was quickly lost himself. The bush was so thick that we were only slowly and laboriously Vorwarts, sometimes we had over hand over hand over small waterfalls. At one of our dog is about 5 m deep slipped, but looked worse than it was. She is doing well. We crept over-or under uprooted giant trees and shrubs by their leaves were as sharp as knives. A torture for humans and animals. We had already expressed consideration is whether we would ever get out, what was not so consider, as tens of people disappear in jungle, New Zealand. Rewarded 
a dead end, which seemed insurmountable for us. We first put a break and enjoyed our sandwiches to strengthen. We were now more than 3 hours in the damp, overgrown bush and decided to return and settled back with a time of about 4h. The way we are back slid more than anything, but we got more progress than we thought. If you have lost, just follow the path of the water and that's what we did. With luck, we found a small path that we had already explored the night before and thus was our return to Farm considerably shorter than expected. In just 1 hour we were escaping the jungle again and back in civilization. There waited a hot shower and a cup of tea on us. A trip that went to the substance, not only stamina but also what the mind and the senses. We can now truly say we have experienced nature first hand ... it was still a boozy adventure that we did not want to miss. 
t! ; (. So the next day right back up and have it repaired, since we got the car seeeehhhhhr accessible, it was still in the budget now he purrs again as a kitten and after a thorough internal cleaning it even smells good again.) 
you spend good money without a lot of rum. Another advantage is integrated in the life of one of the Kiwis and one speaks english which finally increased our loss not to be. Here on the farm live German 2 more weeks here on the already 5 schufften are and have a good understanding, comes to the family with 2 children and a pesky talking parrot the most like you want to wring his neck, a cuddly dog a cuddle cat and a fat cat like some horses, chickens, pigeons and 2 critters look like llamas but there are none. 
we here driving around with the quad? :) Anyway, there is always something to do and it is never boring and in a breathtaking backdrop. more are planned a trip to the jungle, where it passes through a Creek (river), up to the waterfalls, through densely covered by people untouched nature. The weather was very changeable here, rain, sunshine, drizzle and sometimes all at once. Furthermore, it is still wild boar and goat hunting! These animals are considered here as a nuisance and have no natural enemies, they are hunted freely.
