Shocked

Seeing a city struck by an earthquake on tv is one thing, but actually walking around one close to ground zero is another. The center of Christchurch is too badly damaged to enter and sealed of by the military. In the area around the center ...

More Sharks @ Kellie Tarlton

So far I shot over 16 Gb of Photo material. I'm sure you forgive me for not finding the picture that goes with this story: In Napier I've been swimming with sharks, in Auckland I've been inside one! Kellie Tarlton's underwater world runs a ...

My friend Arie turned 30-something yesterday so I made my way back to Auckland. Never realized this ment I had to go through the horror of the Auckland Friday afternoon traffic jam. The final 10 kilometers took me 1 hour. (easy to figure out ...

You think my sky jump from the Sktower in Auckland was cool? Think again! In Taupo I decided to go for the ultimate thrill. A 15.000 ft (thats 5.000 mtrs) tandem sky dive. Check out the video If I'm correct I'm the third jumping out of tjhe ...

Huka falls

On my way to Taupo I met Adam, a hitchiker on his way home from work. Very friendly guy and nice to have some company on the way. I just cant get over how polite and relaxed Kiwi are. After dropping off Adam just before Taupa I went to see Huka ...

SHARK !

The National Aquarium in Napier offered me an opportunity very rarely given in public aquariums: I got to swim in one of their tanks. And so I became part of the shark display snorkling between sharks and stingrays in their main shark ...

Hawkes Bay

From Wellington to Napier is a five hour drive. It's a beatiful drive but I'm fed up with driving for hours at an end. Lucky for me that this was the last long trip I had to make. From here to Taupo is only two hours for instance. For the ...

Just dance!

Took the last bus into the city with just a rough idea where to go to. Turns out the gay bars in Wellington are conveniantly located in the same area. People in Wellington are very open and friendly so meeting people is easy. It took about 3 ...

On my way

Yesterday (wednesday) I picked up the campervan which is going to be my home for the next 11 days. Drove it around Auckland to get used to driving on the left side of the road. Have to admit that it's easier then I expected and I think I'm OK ...
