Hello from Australia! This is actually not a photo I took (haven't got a new camera yet and the one in my mobile phono doesn't take good photos if the conditions aren't absolutly perfect), but I wanted you to have a picture of the place where I am staying and can't take just some old ones because I've never been to Australia before. Right now I am just super tired, although it's only 4 pm here. Three hours time difference isn't much compared to the 12 hours bet...

Here I am - back in the city! What did actually happen since I posted my last entry? That was in Coromandel on a fancy Top 10 campground. Well, yesterday we took the SH 25 to Whitianga and stopped in Whangapoua to see New Chums Beach - which was announced to be one of the Top 3 beaches in the world on the noticeboard in Coromandel. Obviously just to deceive everyone as we couldn't find any information like this on the internet when checking it here in Auckland. ...

I had no reception since Monday night (where I had WIFI at the campground in Whangarei) - only when I came back to Auckland this afternoon. Well, I will buy another SIM-card (Vodafon) as soon as possible. All right, as you haven't heard much about my roadtrip yet, I will give you a summ...

Yesterday I picked up my car and today I am already completly on the road! I was really exited when picking it up and felt kind of helpless because I didn't even know which automatic mode to use. I found out, even found the way back to the Jacobs AND to my travel mate - the we went to a warehouse and to the supermarket and left Auckland! Yesterday we didn't go that far as it was already quite late, but found a nice and simple camping spot at the beach. We cooke...
