Directions To Playmobil Castle

New Zealand at its best (the Farewell Tour 2010)




























G'day

mean three days of continuous rain on the east coast: floods and land under because of the dry soil can not take up water will come over the rivers and major roads, usually the only ones that have to be blocked. And then came the snow. Oh my god. About
are the Arthur's Pass (even before it was locked) gefahrenn to the other side of the South Island, where the weather was much better. For once vice versa, because ordinarily the West Coast is famous as Wetcoast, as already described in the previous article. (It rains some 200 days a year)
We were in Greymouth, on PancakeRocks and Franz Josef Town, where we have made a breathtaking glacier hike. Rain gear and armed with stirrups it went past crevasses, tunnels and old Schmelzwasserhoehlen. Finally, at the highest point of our hike, we got a tremendous view of the huge masses of ice and the surrounding mountains. From

the sunny West Coast went over to Te Anau, Wanaka past, where we visited our "school friends" Philip and Karin for a coffee. A variety of landscapes from beautiful coastal strip through lush rain forests to snowy and windy mountain passes we could admire.
6 hours on the road and not a dull moment. As described in the guide books. Next station
Milford Sound. A phenomenal Lord of the Rings scenery was on the program. The weather had again postcard character (with a new spelling perhaps karakter? Nothin 'Ik wess dat, huh?). A boat trip past vertical rock walls, up to 1700 m range from the water 150 meters high waterfalls, dolphins, penguins and seals included. Incredibly, as in fairy tales ... 9 degrees and holds the hair style.
And today in Queenstown. The party town in New Zealand in general. And not just on Wochenende.hehe. Jaegermeister the town red. 3 degrees, the hair is still there. And the next Memory Stick with 4GB is available for the toatale reporting. Second last day on the Roadd. Suddenly out of nowhere he was ahead of us. Aoraki / Mt Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand, with all its glory covered completely in snow. In the same village, there exists a YHA, a luxury hotel and several cabins. You may already have the solitude to work here. Hopefully there is a Staff House. Lake Tekapo at minus 2 degrees was our last stop on our week-long odyssey to the South Island. Unglaublch fascinating and highly recommended for those who were not there and would like to come.

An exciting week is over (leider. ..)

See you then
