Really Cheap Blank Decks

status update

love it here non-reader,

I wanted to report at this point only briefly, saying no I'm not dead just shows anything away from civilization, without even semi-regular Internet access (which for some people is indeed very close to death ...) .'s why I've even now for not responding for some time and could, unfortunately, some contact obligations and promises not meet (Uli, I'm terribly sorry that I have not done a book I can write for the milestone!)

The WWOOF at the farm, from which I reported in my previous post, was very cool when it's hinhaut I want to farm and back again later. For the next time I have, however, reunited with Carrie.

We are currently working on the grounds of serious financial difficulties on a Orchard in Hastings and then run Apple Thinning. Translated this means something like "We are 8 hours a day plucking in the heat on the tree / on the head and small, immature apples from the trees so that the remaining fruit is bigger so can, and slowly go gaga total".
After two weeks of this activity now, now I can say: I hate apples. I hate leaves, I hate trees, but most of all, I hate apples.
hold, leading us to the simple Mannon, the rumkommt in this activity and the people with whom we work. We live namely directly with the Orchard in a depraved really cute Wellblechkabuff, along with 12 other people from all countries (except other German nationals not represent us! That is sooo great!). Is a very nice bunch, which is, together, we have something of a tradition on the legs: each with ner cooks once a second nation for all a typical dish from his homeland, had previously twice been a very fun evening. ; Last time we were at it and have served (also due to cost) Obatzden, ham pasta and rice milk, gave it to Korean, whose name I can no longer call - interesting mix, but throughout a complete Success.

How are you at home so? You hear so because of rumors of winter and snow - can not but agree well, right?

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?
