How To Draw A Whippet

Multiples Geblogge


Could not decide on what title I should put today's blog entry, so is more:

Buhuhu!

am alone again on the road - my vielgeruehmte, often copied but never reached me Reisegefaehrtin heartlessly left behind leave and is back to Welligton to look for a job. : _ (
Bappert Gutzi Now I have nobody who can follow and I must I find my own plans.


Boandl carving in Nelson

Yesterday I was in Nelson at the Bone Carving - large Maori tradition. 'S is no tourist-shop where you can not buy from this trailer, in tausernderlei different designs.
The workshop where I was, however, was headed by an expatriate German, which I thought was funny again - so much for Maori tradition. ^ ^ Was it but a really nice half-day. First, discussions on the (with the help of a lot proposal material) has its own design, which once painted on paper. Then you get a part from the thigh bones of a formerly happy Neuseelandkuh; to the design is again painted and then cut with a small hand saw. The interior will be worked out with the drill and from there it's off with a lot of grinding, sanding and grinding going on again. Only the ITS COMMENTS on the machine, then the other details with smaller and smaller and finally grinding drills endless work with sand paper until you see no more scratches. The final gloss and then return from the engine (thank God, would take the same thing by hand in about another three hours!).
Finally, we have (with a little luck) a crazy cool looking one of a kind from which one can not believe myself that the time was a cow - and believe in the one no one is that you have made it yourself, if you no photos can present it.
why. (I did of course that and wanted to actually be able to upload the same here, but unfortunately the PC in the hostel ass slow and I get even dirty looks because I'm so long to write the images are ever to be found at Flickr, At this point, some time later)


Come to the dark side of power - we have cookies!

"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned ..."
I got there to make such a confession ... I have passed over, to the dark side of power ... I trust myself almost not to say out loud, but: I have bought Crocs.
heul * * * the
Face hidden in shame *
I know I've always said I would never do something terrible. I think the shoes are still ugly as the night is black, but ... As unbelievable as they are so comfortable in my comfy and practical case for the, I really need grad function namely shoes and I had the choice of rubber boots and Crocs - Crocs are only so many have, and half of that!. boots cost (full 12.99Dollar) and weigh about a quarter of them.
ashamed I still do a little bit. Do you think you can still be my friends when I get home?


and last but not least:

'm Out!

Because I an unnamed, cold-hearted person has left behind my favorite Carola yes so and I do not really just had the grand plan where I work as closest one wants and what I want to do as well / work, I decided it to try again with WWOOF.
Tomorrow I will (probably) be picked up from my new WWOOF host in Rai Valley and drive to the farm in Pelorus Sounds Ner (ca ne 3/4Stunde of Havelock away I think). The farm itself is only one mitm boat what I find kind of cool. Adventure I come.
This is the description of the farm from Wwoof book
"Tree planting, forest maintenance, aquaculture (mussels), vege garden, home orchard, sheep, boat and equipment maintenance. Located mid/outer Pelorus Sounds. Boat access only. Mailboat leaves Havelock Tuedays. Alternative travel arrangements can often be made with adequate forewarning. We are developing and enhancing a large diverse forest including natives, exotic and commerical species. Nursery work, planting, pruning, releasing ongoing. Serveral marine farms operational along various locations along sounds. Orchard in development stage. Grow as many vegetable and fruits as possible. Farm 100 sheep. Fencing and general maintenance ongoing, boat maintenance. Plenty of activities to choose from."
Klingt interessant finde ich, mal schauen wie's wird.
But like last time I can not say how it looks because of the Internet and mobile phone reception. I'll report as soon as I was white, but should I now do not report within the next 1-2 weeks, please do not call the police immediately / Cavalry / Embassy. About

comments / emails / SMS but I'd be happy anyway, no matter when I get now because they read.
As then, bye bye!

Magnetic Or Brush Rollers

Once there, the big round

Hurrah, finally some time again to post a blog entry. What an entry! It has indeed occurred since the last entry so a lot, because Carol and I have learned a great Suedinseltour. The important things now would be ticked off for now. :-)
Experience we have of course Lots that can / need I do not write anything because my readers and commenters here do not contribute to long entries anyway just switch off.
So I try to tell me sum up what should not be so easy. So in order, what is the beginning of October so all happened.

The Scream Photo of Bungyjumpen (in not quite as aesthetic Steph version seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25333566 @ N08/2931176822 / ) comes from Queenstown , the action city par excellence where we have taken to Mount Cook for 3 days. That was the Bungyjumpen even more spontaneous - in Queenstown's got himself booked, only 2 hours before I jumped am. After that I was poor - so after posting.
The jump itself was brilliant, especially because I am jumping with a chest harness, as it swings to and following the ebb and not on their feet, but depends almost comfortable in Rueckenlage over the abyss.
were there we also a very nice Lord of the Rings Location Safari (only Carrie, me and the driver / guide - funny) photos are also in my photo stream at Flickr..

After Queenstown we went down into Fiordland and have the famous Ford Mild Sound viewed. With boats go out and see a postcard after another, with the best weather that the local bus driver has seen for months in his own words.

Then to Invercargill, which has a pretty lousy reputation as New Zealand's most boring major city - unfortunately around like we had to find out. This half day trip to Bluff, the southernmost point of mainland New Zealand (Stewart Iceland does not count:-P). Bluff is unfortunately really Ueberkaff, except where it gives the "famous" international sign absolutely nothing. But, wait, they have a seal. And slippery sidewalks.

There followed a brief separation from Carrie, because I'm from Dunedin (where it already has seen it all). Very nice town, pretty Scottish. :-) Also have since made a Schifferlfahrt to albatrosses, seals and penguins in the open Nature watching. Visit to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory (unfortunately rather disappointing because the Fuehrungsmenschen had so no sense of humor) and of course a lot of running around on your own in the city and look at things.

in Wanaka, I caught up with Carrie again and we are on the Franz Josef Glacier, unfortunately durchgepisst hats because the whole 2 days only, therefore we have made no 100Dollar leadership over the glacier went hiking but are only at its base. How it was just a pile of dirty ice. If I find a profitable job because maybe I have to do it again every now and then, finally in good weather, a Helihike where you first fly over the glacier and then on top rumwandert in the eternal ice.

3 days ago we went in a hochgebrettert Moerderfahrt the 500 km from Franz Josef to Nelson, the West Coast. But Was a very pleasant drive, with fantastic views - the beach and blue sea on one side, rain forest on the other. And so three days now
Nelson (the sunniest city in New Zealand, is shrouded in gray and rainy DERS course when we get there) before we go to Kairkoura for whale watching.

Carrie will then return to Wellington, I'm still somewhat undecided. Originally wanted to work here in Nelson, the city now find but not soo great. Do not know if I want to stay here longer, or go to the first time in the area where the WWOOF until I know what I want.

Jo so much to me.
What is going on with you? Germany once again they have been cut off from Internet and telephone, as much as I hear from home? Do you live for? Helloooo? Is there anybody?? Ping?

Sunamerica Variable Annuity

Been, done that, got the T-shirt


Yes, I did it.

today.

a running jump.



There are photos. (Sooner or later here)


Muhaha.

Bikini Waxing Uncensored

contrast


So right now we give it to us pretty violent as far as the season series. autumn I had almost 5 months by - a month in the real north and then 4 months Wellington winter, which is safe for people like us feel as uncomfortable autumn.

In Christ Church (as indicated) of the hotly spring broke, warm sunshine, etc. were flowerage

On Monday, Carrie and I went to a day trip to Hanmer Springs, a small little place that is famous for its "Spa" and the hot springs. That was already a really nice day, nice ride through the countryside in a minivan, just us two and the driver / Reisefuehrerin. In the morning we were Hanmer Springs in the maze (the medium or hard if you like Carrie ((and now I)) does the trick for all mazes), noon barbecue / picnic in the sun and the Afternoon, then splashing in the spa. That stand it in warm water at almost any Wetterung be well known. But we are such a Wahnsinnsglueck with the weather, the sun were tired, so we finally just more than an hour in a bikini were (of course reading) on the green meadow. summer! I had practically forgotten already how great something can feel!

Yes, and then came right back on Wednesday with the strong contrast: for a rainy day at Lake Tekapo with sleet, we were at Mt Cook - walk in the snow! winter!
But Mt Cook was overall very cool. Said Wednesday just snow and fog ... Looking out the bus window and the guide explains one: "In this direction about is Mount Cook, at all, we are now surrounded by many, mighty mountains." Looking outside: all gray. Ahhhh, yes.
But then Thursday we had a real lucky: the sun is shining, the snow is on the slopes (and our feet on the way to Kea Point) sparkled only pretending. Genial! And we really have seen Mt Cook! ,-P's photo evidence, of course, this time finally wakes up with a couple of long Squee from its winter sleep. As always there after installation times have inserted into the blog.

Christchurch and a plan

Bye bye Wellington, South Iceland hello!

The departure from Wellington was really nice again. Steve threw a BBQ for us in the Burg, with lots of Sausages. Carrie and I have the Tuesday spent afternoon with baking, Carrie has a Jamaican Marble-Cake-with-tartan fabricated (if there in the supermarket such great food colors now admits!) And I have made with surprising success of a large pile of muffins - although I have reduced at the beginning of the baking action with a unique typical Steph-Move our egg supply by half.
The evening is run very nice, with lots of food, some drink, the bubbles ausm 2Dollar Shop play and talk one last time in peace with the people.

are Wednesday night Caroline and I well in Christchurch arrived - less than one hour flight, there is hardly out of the start / increase out before going down again.
For the next few days we live in "women travel house" - that is also in English out as though by NER is Kiwi. Carrie has "decided" that there must hinmuss with me so that I have seen this pink room sometimes. And it really is all very pink. But on the whole been a cool hostel. The main house is so ne "Villa" as the American upper middle class in all the films seems to have (thinking in the direction of Home Alone) with large heavy door, wide corridor with a huge staircase to the top, left and right Room with bay windows and fireplaces (in which, however, are only a fan heater with a false fire) and kitchen with rear back doors to the garden, as mans expected. In the garden, several small bungalows, the office, lots of greenery with Garden Chairs and 2 free-range guinea pigs. Quite cool overall. Currently, it is still mostly empty (but when guests are here, are German or Asian), which is already a very different mood than the party always full house World Wide Backpackers.
a great service I think of course the huge DVD collection that's in the hostel. Over 100 DVDs which can all be on loan for free, you just have to say in the office know and gets his wish over last. We have exploited the same time of course and watched it already 3 1 / 2 movies on the first two evenings, but today a few more to come.

Christchurch is nice in itself, especially the core around the Cathedral Square, but really I love the city yet - but good, has also taken time for Wellington so long. Unusually flat, it's definitely a direct comparison. The tourist-bigger program for the city is now scheduled for the weekend. Have the last 2 days sleep with extensive, Reorienting switch back to the traveling life, and above all spent planning.

A plan that we have a plan for the South Island! Therefore, more detailed itinerary half, one crosswise around the island - but that's still more Plan as I ever really had on this trip. Were yesterday at the Visitor Centre and have let us know extensively. The girl there was very nice and made us painted with many explanations and tips the most common and most practical route.
We now first a few days unsure of Christchurch, then up one or 2 day trip to the north, only to Hanmer Springs to Kaikoura and then maybe. Then, we go down to the south, to Dunedin, trip to Mount Cook, to Invercargill and Bluff (just to be quite been down), look at the fjords, Milford Sound, and then chug slowly up the west coast again. (In acute shortage of money we will have to stop somewhere for a few days / weeks inlay-Stop)
had Actually, we first considered to start the circle in the other direction, but the Infomaedel has declared that it, people usually send first in the South, simply because there is colder and there for the people is nice to finish off the sun and beach areas Nelson and Abel Tasman to have.
So we probably stay warm attracted another one. :)

However here in Christchurch already full of the spring is broken. Bright sunshine, no cold wind like everything's coming up in Wellington and the bushes and shrubs. Very nice arrive. Now I finally know how good it smells like spring. Today it was loose on the 23Grad, we could finally look at the lighter clothes from the very bottom of the bag / the Backpack and get relaxed stroll through the city.
The Art Centre College in the former is extremely cool, just by the buildings here, has reminded me of Yale. Then we were still in the Botanic Garden - everything is blooming and sprouting and the sun shines only pretending. Great. Thank Christ Church, but a very successful greeting on the South Island. 'm Curious how that still goes on.
