Hey again!
I promise you that I won't be able to write that often as soon as I have found some friends, a better place to sleep and an area without internet access! Until then I'll work on my typing speed at the phone and on my written english.
Although I haven't actually done a lot since yesterday, I have learned some things.
First: It wasn't too smart to underestimate the sun here. You might get sunburned. I know, everybody says so, but I still forgot/ignored it. Well, maybe there are some guys in Tauranga who like girls doing stupid things - you never know ;-)
Secondly, I don't appreciate hostels (until now) (at least not this one). It is noisy because the people want to party instead of sleeping and doing some awesome outdoors stuff the next day, you may not just stay somewhere if you want to (like in a camper) and the other backpackers sit around typing on their mobile phones (yeah, like me right now, but now it's early in the morning and nobody wants to talk anyway). Maybe it is because of Jetlag that I couldn't sleep and would have liked to get up at 3am, but the party girls definitly didn't make it easier.
And what I really want is to see wonderful, lonely places, many viewpoints, eat outside, do many walks to many waterfalls and meet the people I like to share a bowl of cookies icecream with.
So probably I am going to buy a car.
I didn't really intend to do this. It's expensive and I could travel by bus, but I would so love to have this feeling again, this freedom of just being able to go anywhere I want and when I want and stay at the best places for the night. So I will think this over properly, but right now it seems to make a lot of sense.
Off to Hamilton now!
I am not able to upload photos from my mobile. So you'll have to be patient until I found free Wifi for my computer!

Pajc Hey adventurer! Do we envy you? - Yes, we do! For being able to get sunburnt and for being among easygoing people. Right now, we feel very boring and earthbound. Yet we are so happy for you and relish every spontaneous and courageous act of yours (like buying a car :) ). We're all hoping that you get some WiFi access soon, as we are longing to see more beautiful shots like the one from Wellington. Sea, sun, summer, landscape... - you get the picture. :) Lots of love from all of us!
