New Zealand

September 3, 2009

Hiya..

Whats going on..I’m in New Zealand.. Amazing country and I’m just at the beginning..First three days spend in Auckland, nice city but
too huge.. Flew from Auckland to the capital city, Wellington..On the way met Pippa, Jessica who visited Tess and the day after tomorrow they showed me around Wellington, so I feel much better..
Stayed in Wellington one week and tried to find a job..I got two, one in a restaurant and the other one in a cafe bar, but I decided to
start traveling again, because the salary was bad..(5 Euro)..
The day after I flew to Christchurch to buy a van, but the next day I was sat in front of the cathedral in the city and met my travel mate of Australia, Franz.. We enjoyed the afternoon and night with a big bottle of Gin..
He rented a Jucy van for four weeks and we spent the last five days in Timaru, Danedin and Methven..
On the way to Mt. Hutt we met some nice Australians and they invited us to stay in their cabin..Thanks guys..
It was a beautiful day on Mt. Hutt, so for the first time in NZ i got to go snowboarding for a half day..Great..Happy..
When you are on the peak of the mountain, you can see the sea.. Incredible!!..Now I’m in Christchurch again, I bought a car ( a station wagon) yesterday and got all my camping stuff include a mattress for 25 NZD in the second hand shop..Good price..
Today we (my English friend Dan and me) are starting to travel around the south Island.. Cheers..
