Funny Invite To 50th Birthday

Back from the North

Ich hatte es mir so fest vor genommen und doch ist es schief gegangen: An der ersten Kreuzung in unserem "neuen" Campervan wollte ich blinken und habe dann doch intuitiv den Scheibenwischer benutzt. Denn Blinker und Scheibenwischer sind ja auch vertauscht (Es dauert glaube ich dreimal bis ich mich daran gewoehnt hatte - Caro ging es spaeter genauso). Mit unserem Auto sind wir bestens zufrieden, ausser dass es bei den zahlreichen Mountains rather cozy mountain boots, and even trucks overtake us, but we're on vacation. Two gas burners, a Abschwaschbecken, a 20 liter water tank and fresh linens make the holiday enjoyable.
we are now back in Auckland and zuruekgekehrt from the far north. One thing is already clear now that we are only a small part of the country have seen, it is definitely one of the most beautiful on earth, because it is just as incredibly diverse. The weather has improved. Especially in the beautiful Bay of Islands, where one feels like the Caribbean, our cruise between the many small islands was impressive. Cape Reigna, the northernmost and most isolated spot as New Zealand (at least by us felt like this) we have the infinite view of the vast Pacific enjoyed and camped right next to it in a beautiful bay. Defies Bulli and duvet at night but it is very cold. On one of the largest sand dunes in New Zealand we have a sand board on loan and are the dunes down heating in every room. Fürn What fun!
Yesterday we have in a small town Dagarville (4,500 inhabitants, we would probably call it something village) witnessed a baptism in a Baptist church. Taufgewaender, as we know it from Germany, it is not here. Mant renamed swim shorts and T-shirt. Impressively was how the pastor in shorts, T-shirt has front and Barrfuss stand and shortly before the baptism explained again what happened now (I could do that in a German community make?). Then we were surprised by an elder sister for lunch and overnight stay at their great house invited on the mountain. Fantastic, that was a real Sunday for us.
missing Nonetheless us family, friends and familiar surroundings. After the communal life in Elstal solitude here in NZL is still getting used to.
We would show you some pictures, but that is not possible in the internet cafes. Perhaps there is still something.
is Now from there to the south, about one week in the North Island, before we take the ferry in Wellington to Picton on South Island. We hope we can get in touch again soon.
