Tag 1:Wir fahren bis zum Einbruch der Dunkelheit gen Norden und erreichen die Suedspitze der kleinen dornartigen Halbinsel im aussersten Norden Neuseelands, wo der 90 Meilen Strand beginnt sich zu erstrecken. Wir haben praechtig eingekauft und freuen uns wie die kleinen Kinder, einen sehr tollen CampingVan gebucht zu haben und kochen bei der Ankuft leckeres Ei-Omlett. Die Landschaft ist ueberwaeltigend, alles ist einzigartig. Die gesamte Botanik hier ist eine konservierte kleine Welt fuer sich. Angeblich sind alle Baeume (es ist Herbst hier) die ihre Blaetter verlieren, auslaendisch, denn einheimische verlieren ihre Blaetter nicht. Das Klima in Neuseeland ist; aussergewoehnlich - so wie das ganze Land. Morgen sind es nur noch 100km zur Nordspitze. Aufstehen 9:00
Tag 2:
Fuers Fruehstueck sind wir zum Strand hinuntergefahren und genossen das Panorama mit ein paar Bohnen in Tomatensosze. Die Fahrt gen Norden ist sehr windig und schwer zu fahren. Die Nordspitze ist an Wind nicht mehr zu ueberbieten. Wir fahren zu einer netten Parkluecke um mit Blick aus blaue Meer, ein Mittagessen zu zaubern, als ploetzlich eine etwas aeltere Frau anklopft und uns bittet ihren platten Reifen zu wechseln. Nach getaner Sache kann ich fertigkochen - wir fahren den gleichen Weg zurueck und schlafen auf der Pazifikseite. Die Tasmanische See ist ein wildes Pferd mit endlos Wind, der Pazifik scheint da um einiges ruhiger. Aufstehen 9:30
Tag 3:
Wir wollen zu den Hobbit Hoehlen, bekannt aus dem Film "Herr der Ringe" Wir fahren den ganzen Tag durch und Landen gegen 20 Uhr in der nahe gelegenen Stadt. Zu meiner Verwunderung gibt es dort heisse Quellen. Nach dem Essen sule ich mich endlos darin. Das Wasser hat 38 Grad, die Luft geschaetzte 12 Grad. Die Nacht war kalt unsre Scheiben waren gefroren, unser Atem war sichtbar und es war wirklich kalt. Aber beide so scheint es gesund. Aufstehen 9:30
Tag 4:
Das ganze Hobbit Spektakel ist teuer und nur fuer eingefleischte Fans, da "nur" die Konstruktion ubrig geblieben ist. Bernd ist etwas enttaeuscht.
Es ist 14:00 als wir am Roturua See ankommen. Anscheinend ist der See der Krater eines riesigen Vulkans. Ueberall riecht es nach Schwefel und es gibt ueberall heisse Quellen. Bernd kocht gerade. In der Stadt gibts einen grossen Park wo ueberall der Schwefel aus schokoladeartigem Gatsch aufsteigt. Es stinkt permanent und ueberall nach Schwefel und Omas Misthauhaufen. Ueberall gibt es heisse Quellen. Eine erstaunliche Stadt.

Day 1:
We drove to the north and stayed close to half island which is the northest point in NZ, where the 90 mile beach is starting. Very glad to have such a great campervan we bought amazing food. Natur and the whole natural scenery is unique and amazing. Nothing compars with that. For example, the botanic here doenst loses any leaves. Every tree that loses his leaves here is from abroad. So most of the nature here is green all year even when the clima is close to middle european, BUT temperature isnt that high in summer and not so freezing in winter. We ended up at 90 mile beach at the Tasman seaside which is very very wild and windy. Stormy night. Get up at 9:00
Day 2:
It is about 100km to the northest point of NZ. there it is very windy. Tasman Sea and Pacific Ozean are meeting there. Kind of Amazing place, but far to windy.. On the way back we found agood place with seaview to make our lunch, but an older woman disturbed us - her tire was broken she asked us to fix the wheel. So we did. After then we ate and drove back to the south...and found a place on the pacific ocean, which was much more comfortable with no wind at all. Little notice, I had my best shower there - water really hot and there was so much water that you can name it shower. (Compared to the South American Showers...). Get up at 9:30
Day 3:
We were driving the whole day to get to a little town where the Hobbit scene from Lord of the rings was made. At 20 o clock we arrived at the near town and amazingly there was a pool with hot springs. After dinner I was enjoying this pool till the end.
Night was very cold, our Car windows were frozen and our breath was visible. It was damn cold but we had a very good cover, but it was damn cold. Everybody is healthy and in the morning I had great tea with milk and good breakfast with sunshine and backcoming warmth.
Day 4:
The Hobbit Town was opened just for tour groups and beside that the whole thing is built down, just to the construction. Bernd was really sad and I could see the child in him crying. We tried to find these place for our own but after 10min drive we gave up and left this astounding area with reallt strange hills - "Hobbitland"
At 14 o clock we arrived in Roturua. A small town close to a big lake, which in my opinion is a big vulcano lake. But I have to ask about that...
In the city there is a park with many of these little geysires and mud wholes with flushing gas. Stinky place reminding my on grannys cow-waste place.
