City of Sails

The constant wind here in Auckland (similar to the coast at home) entitles the nickname City of Sails. Especially the huge port, destination of the world-famous America's Cup, has been a special flair. Yesterday we took a ferry to Devonport, across from Auckland, and were able to admire the skyline from a distance. The old sweet Hauesser (Caro's description) in the colonial style took us back to the 19th Century. The highlight was the visit of the local Anglican church, invited us to bring all pets, so they can be blessed. Too bad that I had no guinea pigs at hand.

is the friendliness and sportsmanship of the New Zealanders in particular striking. Constantly running to the jogger by us. In shops it is served very friendly faces. This openness and composure is impressive. For all who would now be happy on vacation, be mentioned that the weather is not a bit better than at home: It's raining today and for the spring is still relatively cold. From tomorrow we will rent a small bus and start our trip north of New Zealand. I already respect driving in front of links ...
