Zu der Zeit in Paihia:
Ich hatte ne wirklich richtig gute Zeit! Danke an alle die ich kennenlernen durfte und die Zeit die ich mit euch verbringen durfte. Haette am Anfang nicht gedacht das es wirklich so gut werden wird wie es am Ende war. Ich glaub ich bin noch nie im meinem Leben so oft weggewesen, einfach nur hammer :).
Danke danke an euch alle und hoffentlich sieht man sich in diesem Leben nochmal wieder! Und an die wo zum Big Day Out kommen: Das wird geil! :).
Und dann am Dienstag hies es: Finally traveln!
Also nach 2 Naechten auf der Farm ab in den Norden, Cape Reinga, 90 mile beach, die Sandduenen von Te Paki (dort Sandboarden gemacht, ich sag euch das ist schnell. echt krass.), Westkueste runter durch den Kauriwald und dann wieder ueber Whangarei zurueck auf die Farm. Das waren gute 8 Tage.
Wir haben fast jeden Tag gefischt was uns an einem Abend ein gutes Abendessen gebracht hat und an den anderen Tagen viel spass (Lilian hat einmal sogar nen Aal gefangen).
Der 90 mile beach war echt beeindruckend. Da kommt man sich richtig klein vor wenn man in beide Richtungen nur Strand im Nichts verschwinden sieht.
Und der Kauriwald erst. Wunderschoen! Richtig Regenwald, einfach nur schoen. Und dann noch diese grossen alten Baeume. Der aelteste ist ca 2000 Jahre alt. Einfach nur hammer das er all die Zeit ueberlebt hat. Da kommt man sich dann richtig jung und unbedeutend vor neben einem so alten und grossen Lebewesen.
Um Geld zu sparen haben wir dann auch nen paar Naechte frei gecampt. Weil es is einfach nur abzogerei wenn man fuer eine Nacht wo stehen und schlafen gleich mal wieder $8 bezahlen muss. Zudem sind diese billigen Campinggrounds auch nicht sicherer als nen einsamer Ort irgendwo. Die letzten beiden Naechte sind wir so an nem echt richtig schoenen Beach gelandet. Muss unbedingt noch Bilder davon hochladen. So geil wenn man von der Sonne geweckt wird und ausm Fenster des eigenen Autos schaut und nur Rocks, Strand und Meer sieht. Das is echt nen tolles Gefuehl :).
Und ich hab mir ne Gitarre gekauft. Jetzt muss ich nur noch spielen lernen dann kann ich die Campingplaetze dieses Landes mit meinen musikalischem Talent begluecken. Da freuen die sich bestimmt schon drauf *g*.

Finally I'm out of Paihia, on the road again.
To the time in Paihia:
What should I say? I just can say: thank you everybody there that I could get to know you! Thank you for the time we spent together and for the great evenings. In the start I didn't think that it could end so great. And I think that I never went so often out. We nearly spent every evening in a pub or disco, just really cool!
So a big thank you to everybody there and hopefully we see each other again in this life :). And to them who I see at the big day out: We are going to have lots of fun :).

After I left Pahia I went back to the Farm to get Lilian and then we both started our little journey around the Northland. The first and second night we spend at Matai Bay and ate really good dinner (Lilian caught a Snapper :) ). The third day brought us to Cape Reinga were we camped at a near Camping Place because we didn't want to do the Cape with a tour. And it was really better to take the time to walk to the Cape and do everything without a rush. After that we continued our travel with a visit of the sand dunes of Te Paki and I just can say: sand boarding is really really fast and funny :). Also the Ninety Mile Beach, just awesome. I felt very little when I saw in both directions the beach disappearing in the nowhere. It is no wonder that this place is a special place for the Maori. This night we finally camped at a real camping ground with hot showers. That was ... just good :). Clean and fresh we drove the next day to the Kauri Forest.
What should I say about such a beautiful place? I felt so little and young next to these big lives. It is unbelievable that they survived all the storms, the coming of the whites, all the wars and the years after. And the forest for itself was just amazing. Really rain forest. It is as walking trough a big living thing.
The last two nights we camped again for free at the east coast near Whangarei. A really beautiful beach. The bay surrounded with rocks so that the sea was quite calm. The first night we fished but got only little Snapper and Lilian a eel (what was quite funny because she didn't really want to touch it :) ) and the day after we sat relaxing at the beach.
An today we were in Whangarei where I bought a guitar. So now I just have to learn to play it and then the camping grounds can listen to my talent :). I think I always going to have enough space around my car *hehe*.
I am still very happy that I could spend this cool travel with Lilian and share all the experience with such a nice person. Thank you for that Lilian! We had a great time and I'm looking forward to the days which will come :).
Our plane for the next few days: Spending Christmas on the farm and then going finally direction south. 3 months in the Northland is really enough.
And to you other guys here in NZ: Have also a nice Christmas and have fun! Enjoy the time!
