You know what sucks? Having typed a whole blog and accidently hitting a wrong button and losing all the work that you just typed. Yes, this is version two of the blog about hiking yesterday. I was too tired to make one last night, so now do it before I have to go in an hour. The day began at 4.30 when my alarm went off. Unfortunately I hadn't found my memorycard yet, so I just put my luggage in a locker and waited for the 5.30 am bus to pick me up. We needed abo...

Ah you know what I love so much this holiday down under? The only problems that I have, are the ones that somehow solve itself. Yesterday I got my memorycard back, and today was my new problem solved, the broken suitcase one. Now I probably better don't mention that I have two more little things to solve, but that's for Melbourne. ;) Lat night I had the best night here so far. And I think that I can blame a sometimes erupting mountain for that. I did have a nice...

Kia ora everyone! I am told this means hello in Maori language, so let's use it while I am here. Time flies so fast, another day is over in New Zealand. Today I had a different kind of exercise, I used the early hours of the morning to climb a mountain to a lookout over the bay. I was shameless taking selfies, because there was nobody else around when I was up there. Somewhere halfway the way back, other people went up to the same lookout. Ha, I was first! :-) I...

Somehow I made it to New Zealand in the last few days. I left sunday evening for Abu Dhabi, a city that I can't image to ever visit if it wasn't to change planes. All I saw out of the window was the grey color of sand, lots and lots of sand. When we came closer I did see some palm trees and other green, but my first impression was grey. I had some time to kill here so strolled the shops and treated myself on a big breakfast, you never know what you get offered ...
