      Day 36/72: Kayaking and Driving

      2 grudnia 2018, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      We woke up in our campervan feeling very chuffed with ourselves that we'd had a good night's sleep. The sky was clear and sunny and the day beckoned. We had our cereals of choice, museli and cocopops, and packed up the campervan ready for the off.

      We wanted to kayak around the bay of islands as it looked very beautiful, however the kayak tour place said the tour around the islands had been cancelled due to waves and weather, so we could only rent kayaks that day. Not to worry though, we duly hired a kayak and after assuring the guide that we weren't going to drown, paddled out into the bay, and upstream along a shallow estuary towards supposed waterfalls. As we paddled we sang and looked at the wildlife around us, herons and black and white cormorants flying around. We caught up with a huge tour group of people from a cruise, going in all directions over the river and as we paddled by we felt very glad we hadn't spent double the money on that particular tour.

      As we rounded a bend and came across the waterfalls which were surprisingly big! The water crashed over the rocks and made for great watching from the bottom as we hid behind a boulder and took photos. After we'd looked our fill, we paddled back against the tide in equally good spirits. We dodged the tour group again and came across a Maori boat, headed by a couple of huge Kiwi's in full tribal gear, grunting and calling to the 30 or so tourists paddling. As we passed by, the captain bellowed and as all paddles raised into the air, everyone turned their heads in unison and gave us a war cry!

      The kayaking finished, we got changed and got back in the van. A long drive of around 5-6 hours was ahead, so we set off, initially for the campervan hire place to pick up the satnav charger they had neglected to give us the day before. The trip was uneventful, the roads a motorcyclists paradise, and the scenery constantly keeping us alert and interested. It can be best described as driving through a mix of Scotland and Wales. Either winding mountain passed or dead straight over flat plains, they made for great driving. We picked up the cable without a hitch and carried onto next destination, Coromandel and hot water beach /Cathedral Cove. They're a long way out, as you'll be able to see on the map, but well worth the drive.

      We arrived at the chosen campsite and had a spot high up looking over the sea. We had a quick wander on the beach, and then made a dinner of spaghetti and tomato sauce (there may be a theme to our meals for a while). By then, night had already fallen, so we set up for the night and listened to the pitter patter of the rain, and the crashing of the sea as we drifted off to sleep.       Czytaj więcej

      Day 35/72: campervanning!

      1 grudnia 2018, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ 🌧 20 °C

      This morning we left the hostel and picked up our campervan! It is really well equipped, with a bed that folds down in the back and chairs and tables and cooker and sink (and portapotty but we are ignoring that). The drive north was wonderful, very similar to driving through the pretty parts of Wales. Sheep galore, and plenty of rolling hills for good views. The van is automatic, which takes some getting used to, but at least they drive on the right (left!) side of the road here.

      A few hours later we had arrived at the Bay of Islands. We drove along the beach and checked out a few campsites before landing on one with incredible views across the bay.

      The afternoon consisted of wandering down the beach and marvelling at the number of sand flies and at the wonderful view over the islands. A wonderful evening of cooking pasta and drinking cups of tea next to the water later, we are tucked away inside our van feeling very cosy (and the night looks to be threatening rain so glad to not be the people in the tent right next to us!).

      Waitangi

      1 lutego 2017, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Auf dem Rückweg vom Norden Neuseelands nach Auckland haben wir einen letzten Stopp (mit Nicole) in Waitangi und Pahia eingelegt. Dies ist ein sehr geschichtsträchtiger Ort Neuseelands, da hier der Vertrag von Waitangi beschlossen wurde, der NZ zur britischen Kolonie gemacht hat...
      Um uns der neuseeländischen Geschichte und Māori Kultur etwas anzunähern, haben wir in Waitangi das Museum besucht und an einer Führung inkl. Maori Show teilgenommen...       Czytaj więcej

      Tag 213: Waitangi Treaty Grounds

      2 września 2017, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Einbisschen Kultur schadet nie und somit machten wir uns auf den Weg nach Waitangi, dem wohl historisch bedeutsamsten Ort Neuseelands. Berühmt wurde der Ort durch den am 6. Februar 1840, zwischen 40 Maori-Häuptlingen und der britischen Krone, unterzeichneten Waitangi Vertrag, der die Gründung der britischen Koloniealherrschaft in NZ besiegelte. Dieser Tag gilt als Geburtsstunde Neuseelands und ist somit Nationalfeiertag.

      Mit diesem Vertrag gaben die Maori ihre Souveränität auf und wurden britische Bürger. Die britische Krone versprach den Maori, ihr Eigentum zu schützen und ihre Rechte zu verteidigen - doch schon im Laufe der folgenden Jahre kam alles ganz anders.

      Alles über diesen folgenschweren Vertrag, der das Leben und die Kultur der Maoris grundlegend änderte, erfährt man in den „Waitangi Treaty Grounds“. Höhepunkt an diesem Tag war die Aufführung des Haka, dem traditionellen kriegstanz der Maori.       Czytaj więcej

      Exploring the Bay of Islands

      7 maja 2018, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

      Getting into bodies of water is one of my favorite things to do on vacation. We've been spending some time up north, in the semi-tropical region of New Zealand. I spent a little time gathering sea shells from our gorgeous campside in Matauri Bay this morning, before heading out to Paihia, along the coast of the Bay of Islands.

      We were doing a hike out to the Haruru waterfall through the forest, and Mangrove groves. Gates on either side of the trail were meant to keep dogs out. This is one of the last remaining regions for kiwi birds, and they are virtually defenseless against dogs. Apparently a few years ago, a run away german shepherd killed about 600 kiwi in just a few weeks.

      I love foreign flora and fauna. Huge fern trees, and ground ferns, and parasitic air plants perched on other trees, strange bird calls, and one type of tiny bird that kept fanning his tail feathers at us like a peacock. Odd, wiry trees with puffs at the top I think of as Dr. Seuss trees, waved gently in the wind. And I think we were both very excited to walk through the mangroves.

      A boardwalk took us out through this coastal mangrove forest. The tide was out so we could see their breathing roots pointing up everywhere. We were mystified by the near constant popping sounds, until we learned they were shrimp in their little muddy holes.

      Once we got to the waterfall, we began a snow kayak cruise back to base. The guide had an interesting mix of lore, leged, history, and naturalism. I was most fascinated by the trees full of cormorants. They were nesting and you could see many nests full of baby birds vying for food and attention.

      It's terrific to be here in a shoulder season, where we can snag a nearby beachside campground without reservations.       Czytaj więcej

      Power breakdown, Waitangi Trail and bus

      4 lutego 2020, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Today was a travel day, at least from 1:30 pm to 10:30 pm. After waking up and checking out from the hostel, I actually wanted to visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, where back on February 6th 1840 the Waitangi Treaty between several Maori tribes and the British Crown had been signed which in fact is New Zealand's founding document. February 6th today still is the National Public Holiday, Waitangi Day. Well, when I got there I was informed that one building could not be visited due to presence of the Prime Minister and all the other buildings because of a power breakdown (as I later got to know that the breakdown was in the whole village of Paihia or maybe even in the entire Northland region). I decided not go in: I considered 40 dollars for just seing the grounds without any buildings too much. An alternative was quickly found: I walked the Waitangi trail through a Mangrove forest up to the Hauru falls - a decent 5 km-trail in a once again breathtaking forest with only the sounds of birds and insects and - especially on the way forward - only facing very few people. The area is even kiwi habitat but, of course, I could not spot any of these nocturnal national birds of New Zealand. Anyway, I very much enjoyed the forest and wished not being in a little hurry because I had to catch my southbound bus. Afterall, I guess, I took more out of this nature experience than I could have out of the cultural one on the treaty grounds. Then, the long bus journey began: first four hours back to Auckland, then another three and a half to Rotorua. Let's see how the next days in this area of volcanism and Maori tradition will turn out... Czytaj więcej

      Cream Trip Bay of Islands

      20 marca 2017, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Für heute war eine Bootsfahrt geplant, die um 9:30Uhr begann.
      Als wir auf das Boot kamen war alles voll mit Rentnern, die natürlich alle guten Plätze besetzt hatten. Aber wie vorhergesehen wurde es Ihnen schnell zu kalt draußen und Carla und ich schnappten uns einen Platz an der Reling ganz hinten.

      Nach einem kurzen Stop in Russel, wo wir noch weitere Renter einsammelten, ging es raus aufs offene Meer und dort trafen wir gleich mal auf einen riesigen Schwarm Delfine, die sogar ihre Babies im Schlepptau hatten. So wunderschön. Es waren so viele, dass ich mit meiner Kamera gar nicht hinterherkam. Im Serienmodus machte ich tausende Fotos von den springenden Delfinen und musste natürlich danach erstmal aussortieren. Aber egal, ich liebe Delfine einfach!!!*.*

      Anschließend fuhren wir an unzähligen Inseln vorbei wie "Motuarohia", "Montukiekie", "the Sisters",... bis zum "Motukokako" auch bekannt als "Hole in the Rock". Mit viel Fantasie kann man sogar einen Elefanten erkennen.;)

      Die meisten der Inseln sind zwar in Privatbesitz, dürfen aber nur mit Erlaubnis der Regierung bebaut oder verändert werden. So werden Strände, Wasser und die Natur erhalten.

      So gegen 13Uhr hatten wir dann eine Stunde Zeit um am Strand Lunch zu haben und die Sonne zu genießen. Und heute gab es Pasta*.* Der Strand war echt richtig schön und ich bin so froh, dass wir morgen den ganzen Tag einen Ausflug auf diese Insel gebucht haben.

      Wieder an Board war uns relativ kühl und so saßen wir drinnen.
      Auf dem zweiten Teil der Tour konnten wir einzelne Privathäuser sehen, brachten einem sogar seine Post und fuhren vorbei an vielen Vögeln und Seerobben.

      Kristallklares Wasser und Sonnenschein, einfach wunderschön. Carla und ich genossen jede Sekunde und vor allem jeden Sonnenstrahl.
      Aber ich glaube die Fotos zeigen mehr wie ich hier beschreiben kann.       Czytaj więcej

      Orewa nästa stopp. Betalt kontant.
      Vi startade vid 9.30 och gjorde ett första stopp i Kerikeri underbart vackert. Vi fikade kaffe och apple and fudge pie. Vidare väg 12 västra sidan ner. Vackert och vilt. Vi stannade också och såg kauriträd ca 1500 år gamla.
      Framme på K&R Orewa bed and breakfast för 149. Egen byggnad stora sängar välfyllt kylskåp.

      Waitangi-culture Maori/histoire du pays-

      29 listopada 2018, Nowa Zelandia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      Waitanga est depuis le 6 février 1840 le lieu le plus important de Nouvelle Zélande. C'est ici que les Britanniques et les chefs Maori ont signé le traité de Waitanga approuvant la "colonisation" des Britanniques. Officiellement la Nouvelle Zélande naissait.

      Il y a à cet endroit un musée excellent, une visite guidée hyper intéressante et une performance artistique inoubliable (surtout pour Gero qui a eu le droit au tongi -salutation maori nez contre nez, front contre front et serrage de main et qui a dû faire un discours en tant que chef de tribu!!!!). Ça vaut donc le détour sur tous les plans (culturel, historique, artistique)!!
