It is also known under the name Whakaari. The special thing about this small island is that it is actually New Zealand's most active volcano. Our trip to Whakaari included a guided walking tour around the island. We had to wear helmets and gas masks - awesome! You know how much I love hats ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/SBI-ku1LQOI/AAAAAAAAAvA/RaMNErbT0vg/s1600-h/DSCF2062.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193282121078882530" style="DISPLAY: block;

We were totally in the middle of nowhere, not even my New Zealand company had been there before… No wonder, that I can’t remember the name of the place. Anyway, it was beautiful. I was heartily welcomed by Karrie-Ann’s family at her grandparents’ farm. Their first comment was that they had been waiting for me all day long, because I should be the photographer for their family portrait. So, minutes later I found myself in the position of coordinating this huge family so that I got all of them in one picture. And I can tell you that was not easy… and I was still so fascinated by the scenic surroundings. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GriHgGutI/AAAAAAAAAqY/RAymL4VGIkk/s1600-h/CIMG4578.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179609649070389970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GriHgGutI/AAAAAAAAAqY/RAymL4VGIkk/s400/CIMG4578.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GqsXgGusI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/4iFXSeBfnOw/s1600-h/CIMG4552.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179608725652421314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GqsXgGusI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/4iFXSeBfnOw/s400/CIMG4552.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After the photo session, we went with Karrie-Ann’s father on an off road-trip with their jeep. That was fun! We were driving up hills that were deceptively steep; I did not want to believe that it was possible to go up there by car. The guys with the jeep behind us had to leave their vehicle behind. It could not get up the hill. Unfortunately, not even we could make it up the steepest hill, so we walked up the last few meters, from where we unwound and enjoyed a superb view of the surrounding countryside. Ahhh, did I tell you that when I had gone to the craters of the moon two days before that, that I had been confronted with problems with my camera… The screen did not work anymore. Nevertheless, I kept on trying to take pictures… That’s the reason why some of them are a little bit uncoordinated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GqKHgGurI/AAAAAAAAAqI/Vntu_4Vpzog/s1600-h/CIMG4557.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179608137241901746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GqKHgGurI/AAAAAAAAAqI/Vntu_4Vpzog/s400/CIMG4557.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GpsXgGuqI/AAAAAAAAAqA/8U6N8Gehr3g/s1600-h/CIMG4560.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179607626140793506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GpsXgGuqI/AAAAAAAAAqA/8U6N8Gehr3g/s400/CIMG4560.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GpOngGupI/AAAAAAAAAp4/ftrCE_02iOM/s1600-h/CIMG4564.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179607115039685266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GpOngGupI/AAAAAAAAAp4/ftrCE_02iOM/s400/CIMG4564.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GozngGuoI/AAAAAAAAApw/55OMZU4n00k/s1600-h/CIMG4575.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179606651183217282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GozngGuoI/AAAAAAAAApw/55OMZU4n00k/s400/CIMG4575.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GoTngGunI/AAAAAAAAApo/2d_MlvEdSn8/s1600-h/CIMG4576.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179606101427403378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-GoTngGunI/AAAAAAAAApo/2d_MlvEdSn8/s400/CIMG4576.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In the evening we went to Rotorua, where Karrie-Ann’s parents live... a very pretty neighbourhood with innumerable mansions. We ended the day with having a yummy dinner, watching “Pirates of the Caribbean” and having a bath in their own spa pool--- luxury! By the way… for all those Rotorua enemies: It does not smell like rotten eggs everywhere in Rotorua. Nonono!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next morning Karrie-Ann and I got up early and went to the mud pools. It is always good to have a local with you, because locals get in for half the price. And with Karrie-Ann’s company the same was valid for me. J&lt;br /&gt;Besides, never go to the mud pools situated in town, always go to the ones that are 10 kilometres away from Rotorua. First, the entrance is cheaper; second, you see more and third, there’s a fabulous geyser to admire as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R-Gmm3gGumI/AAAAAAAAApg/DSPNu5uq2n4/s1600-h/CIMG4623.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179604233116629602" style="DISPLAY: block;

It is definitely no fun to go outside without any sunscreen on. Never do that! You will regret it! Only 10 minutes later you will be bright pink and sore. And that hurts terribly!&lt;br /&gt;After the Tongariro Crossing I was absolutely exhausted. However, I could not go to bed directly- first I had to find my pyjamas – That was the only thing I had left in the backpackers. Come on- who’s going to steal my pyjamas?!! Finally, I found them in the washing machine of the backpackers. I relaxed in the hot spa pool as compensation.

On my way over there I could see the summit of Mt Ruapehu. Minutes later the peak was covered by clouds. Nevertheless the view of Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Tongariro was breathtaking.&lt;br /&gt;When I managed the first steep part of the walk I met a German. After a small talk we realised that we had more than just the same backpack in common, we were both walking alone… so we decided to join each other for the rest of the Crossing. Actually that was a very good idea, because I was a little bit worried about my knee. Nearly one year ago, I got terrible problems with my knee. Now, I am not able to run anymore, although running was and is my great passion. I hope, one day I will be in shape again for a marathon. I still hope to find a competent doctor, when I am back in Germany. My gosh!!! I am only 21 years old! So in case, somebody who can recommend a qualified doctor reads this, tell me!!!! I will be more than grateful!&lt;br /&gt;Most of the walk I managed without any pain, but the last two hours I had to wear my uncomfortable and mostly useless bandage. I could not really enjoy it. I can tell you… I learnt to love climbing uphill more than walking or running downhill, because I know I won’t have any problems with my knee on the way to the top.&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless the view of the mountains and all the other natural wonders more than compensate for the pain associated with it.&lt;br /&gt;Just to give you a gist of what this Great Walk is like, here a few sentences out of my tourist guide:&lt;br /&gt;“Reputedly the best one-day walk in New Zealand. The walk traverses spectacular volcanic geography, from an active crater to steaming vents. And the views ain’t bad either. It covers the most spectacular features of the Tongariro Northern Circuit between the Mangatepopo and Ketetahi Huts…The track passes through vegetation zones ranging from alpine scrub and tussock, to places of higher altitude where there is no vegetation at all, to the lush podocarp forest as you descend from Ketetahi Hut towards the end of the track.” (Lonely Planet – New Zealand; p. 315-316)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally I did a side trip from the main track to the summit of Mt Tongariro. From there we had a stunning view of Mt Ngaurahue. But as soon as we got back onto the main track a cloud came quickly and the summit of Mt Tongariro was gone. We can be so happy, that we had been there in the right time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This walk is definitely a special one. You obtain the impression being on another planet. Marvellous! And it is definitely worth a journey for all Lord of the Ring fans.&lt;br /&gt;Hope, you guys enjoy the pics!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7i1lCri9rI/AAAAAAAAAjc/A9na60DQXFk/s1600-h/CIMG4248.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168080220386948786" style="DISPLAY: block;

I calculated three weeks time to explore everything. People who are acquainted with me know that whenever I am going on travels or similar things I first have a shower and start to pack afterwards – that’s my ritual. By the way, I have been living out of a suitcase for the last 4 years… so I really know what I am talking about. But on this very morning nothing worked the way I had planned it.&lt;br /&gt;I got up at 5:00am and was just about to have a shower. However, and that is the way it all started: There was no water in our flat!!! Ok, I thought. Don’t worry. It might be only temporary. So I started to pack my stuff first. I was supposed to move out of this room on that day as well. Every 10 minutes I checked if we had any water again… but nothing… the pipes were bone dry. At half past seven I got extremely impatient. I planned to pick up the rental car around 9:00am. So I called Jeremy and asked if I could have a shower at his place. Minutes later he came around picked me up and brought me to his place. After I was ready we went to the rental car office by bus. And there the next stupid thing happened. I realised that in all the morning hectic I had exchanged my bags, so I did not have my driver’s licence with me, but my toothbrush… Yes, unbelievable, but nevertheless absolutely typical. Bad things never come alone, at least in three. Fortunately, I was accompanied by Jeremy, so we used his driver’s licence to pick up the car. Then we went to town to handle another typically stupid thing. The day before I had brought back all the books I had borrowed from the library. But when I came home that evening I realised that I had forgotten one single book!! ARRRGH!! So, I had to go there that morning again. Afterwards, I picked up the trousers I had brought to the tailor the day before. Then I posted a letter for my little goddaughter Rafaela… sorry that it took me such a long time to reply, but I have heard you were so delighted about it that you jumped into the air happily – That’s the reaction I had expected!&lt;br /&gt;But this was not all yet. I could not find my camera. The day before, I had used it in the Early Years Centre, so I guessed that it was still there. Luckily I was in the possession of the key for the building. So we had to get there und yeah, I found my camera at once! Puhhh!&lt;br /&gt;After all this stress, Jeremy invited me for breakfast – Eggs Benedict – yumyumyum!&lt;br /&gt;When we were finished with loading my entire luggage in the car, Jeremy already gave me my Christmas present. You know those cassettes you put in your car radio with a wire connection for your MP3-player. I am sure there’s an expression for it, however, I can’t think of it now. Anyhow, so I was able to listen to my music during my travels. Thanks Jeremy! That was a very good idea, since the radio reception here in New Zealand can be absolutely miserable.&lt;br /&gt;After we went to the Car Rental office again to show my driver’s licence I was ready to head off, to leave Wellington for the first time after 3 ½ months. I was absolutely excited, but admittedly tired as well. Actually I intended to leave Wellington around 11:00am, but at this time it was already 2:00pm. So Jeremy did me another favour. He drove with his car in front of me out of Wellington, so I just had to follow him without concentrating on any signs… Thanks! But nevertheless I still had a long drive ahead. After saying good bye to Jeremy the bad luck came back… I was stuck in a traffic jam!!!!! Yes a traffic jam! Here in New Zealand on a Saturday afternoon, heading north!! My gosh! And that for 2 hours! Ah, by the way, driving on the left hand side is no big deal. But attention: “Always account for the stupidity or ignorance of other people!”&lt;br /&gt;Finally around 4:00pm I was free and made all way up to the Tongarriro National Park Village. I arrived there between 7:00 and 8:00pm. I can tell you, whenever you get the opportunity to fill up your car with petrol here in New Zealand, do it! It’s amazing-sometimes you can drive for hours, and there’s nothing, no civilization, no petrol stations – Wow! Some people experience that as a little bit spooky, other ones hugely enjoy it! I had mixed feelings. I enjoyed the landscape but felt a little bit lost sometimes. Nevertheless, I reached my aim and stayed with French, Brazilian, Kiwi and German people in a lovely backpackers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7insyri80I/AAAAAAAAAck/qarBPCrfCl4/s1600-h/CIMG4218.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168064960368145218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7insyri80I/AAAAAAAAAck/qarBPCrfCl4/s400/CIMG4218.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7infCri8zI/AAAAAAAAAcc/Z3OJ9pSnJKY/s1600-h/CIMG4212.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168064724144943922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7infCri8zI/AAAAAAAAAcc/Z3OJ9pSnJKY/s400/CIMG4212.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168065114986967890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7in1yri81I/AAAAAAAAAcs/dEzxHrMZWEs/s400/CIMG4224.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Mt Ruapehu&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6108865354176844960-3418359334363900091?l=yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/feeds/3418359334363900091/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6108865354176844960&amp;postID=3418359334363900091' title='8 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/3418359334363900091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/3418359334363900091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/2008/02/it-was-disastrous-first-day.html' title='It was a disastrous first day...'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15236864351671428798</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/S_TaGDav_aI/AAAAAAAAByA/MHkoaVPiTOg/S220/IMG_5278+-+Version+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7insyri80I/AAAAAAAAAck/qarBPCrfCl4/s72-c/CIMG4218.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108865354176844960.post-2607524539812947726</id><published>2008-02-17T13:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-17T13:23:57.926-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mayday, mayday!!! Yvonne, where are you?!?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Well, I know you have not heard from me for a long time. The last four months passed quickly… and I was terribly busy. I have been travelling around for the last seven weeks. But before that I had worked fulltime at the Early Years Childhood centre. I had so much fun together with those little rascals. I took them to my heart. When I visited the centre this week I was emotionally touched. I did not expect I would react with tears in my eyes. I love them all! Besides I wrote research papers for university, moved to a new flat, which is just behind the Basin Reserve. I enjoyed spending my time over there watching cricket games. It is actually my favourite spot here in Wellington. I had lots of fun with my new friends while having potluck dinners and going out. I went to a soccer game in the Westpac Stadium (Wellington Phoenix FC vs. Central Coast Mariners FC- and no, I did not see David Beckham playing)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7ilWyri8yI/AAAAAAAAAcU/HYH881GyYJ4/s1600-h/DSCN0517.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168062383387767586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7ilWyri8yI/AAAAAAAAAcU/HYH881GyYJ4/s400/DSCN0517.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;and attended life drawing classes, what I still do. I went to art exhibitions (Spatial Design, Piranesi and Pat Cush &amp;amp; Roger Morris – letzteren kenne ich persönlich – ist schon ein schönes Gefühl zu einer Kunst Vernissage zu kommen und vom Künstler mit Namen persönlich angesprochen zu werden). I watched amazing fireworks at the harbour water front on Guy Fawkes Day. I met Susanne again (refer to Able Tasman Coast Track), went to the Early Years staff party and Farewell Dinner of my workmates.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7ik3Cri8xI/AAAAAAAAAcM/WQxoDburf3Q/s1600-h/CIMG3971.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168061837926920978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7ik3Cri8xI/AAAAAAAAAcM/WQxoDburf3Q/s400/CIMG3971.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7ikqyri8wI/AAAAAAAAAcE/ttQ3fTK946c/s1600-h/CIMG3967.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168061627473523458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/R7ikqyri8wI/AAAAAAAAAcE/ttQ3fTK946c/s400/CIMG3967.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Got a new haircut.

I was abso&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;lutely amazed by Jaggedy Ann and another group whose name I can’t remember. What a shame! Anyway, the band consisted of three boys and a female singer. Her booming singing voice reminded me of The Guano Apes. When you listen to this group for the first time you can’t really say if a man or a woman is singing. Here it was quite the same.

But before that I was given a highly professional outfit. I loved it! A kind of diving suit! That is something I always wanted to put on sometime. &lt;/span&gt;(ist das richtig? …was ich schon immer einmal anziehen wollte….soll es heißen!) Just the very feeling! &lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Cool!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;        &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;It was very difficult to put it on…but it was even more difficult to take it off again.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But actually, my cap was the greatest hit! It let me look at least ten years younger. Even if I had been miles away, you could have recognized me. I looked extremely striking! A tip: whenever you feel terribly old, just put this cap on… and you will feel immediately younger!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rvh82oGx7fI/AAAAAAAAASk/TegTffJY9Pw/s1600-h/DSC_0336.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rvh82oGx7fI/AAAAAAAAASk/TegTffJY9Pw/s400/DSC_0336.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113974654799834610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;picture taken by Susanne&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rvh8sYGx7eI/AAAAAAAAASc/rgbUlZmwzNo/s1600-h/IMG_7243.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rvh8sYGx7eI/AAAAAAAAASc/rgbUlZmwzNo/s400/IMG_7243.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113974478706175458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;picture taken by Gregor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rvh77YGx7dI/AAAAAAAAASU/GJkvwNiD-e0/s1600-h/DSC_0349.JPG"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;I shared a kayak together with Susanne.

It is astonishing how different they are… we love the little details.

When we were standing in the queue somebody tapped on my shoulder. And guess who it was!!! Sammy, a girl who had worked together with me for the RA Company before…I really like her… Actually she is from Liverpool and usually lives in Dublin. Now she and her boyfriend are travelling through New Zealand. And this evening they stayed in the same backpackers as we did. What a coincidence! We exchanged addresses at once! I hope to see her again…I had so much fun with her!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6108865354176844960-7432087113464259046?l=yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/feeds/7432087113464259046/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6108865354176844960&amp;postID=7432087113464259046' title='4 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/7432087113464259046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/7432087113464259046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/2007/09/sea-kayaking-and-takaka.html' title='Sea Kayaking and Takaka'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15236864351671428798</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/S_TaGDav_aI/AAAAAAAAByA/MHkoaVPiTOg/S220/IMG_5278+-+Version+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rvh82oGx7fI/AAAAAAAAASk/TegTffJY9Pw/s72-c/DSC_0336.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108865354176844960.post-4065457588738276984</id><published>2007-09-04T23:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-05T00:45:03.930-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Abel Tasman Coast Track</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="EN-GB"&gt;Last Sunday I met Gregor again (See &lt;i&gt;In the meantime…&lt;/i&gt;) and Susanne, who is German too and in New Zealand for one year.

Normally walking on the sandy beach seems to be very pleasant. But this was not pleasant at all. The bottom was entirely covered by millions of shells. After a while it felt like walking on razor blades. Additionally, at some places we had to walk through freezing cold water. Unbearably painful!

Dort gab’s gleich den ersten Zwischenstopp in einer Kneipe. Anschließend ging es mit dem Zug nach Palmerston North (an der Westküste). Übrigens der Sonnenuntergang während der Fahrt war traumhaft. In Palms angekommen, holte uns Sophie mit ihrem kleinen Ford ab. Nachdem das Gepäckverstaut und alle angeschnallt waren, ging es dann weiter nach Porangahau (Hawke’s Bay an der Ostküste). Unterwegs gab es einen kleinen Zwischenstopp at Sophie’s place. Dort schnorrten wir ein paar Cornflakes und bewunderten die Bilder ihrer Mutter, die hier eine bekannte Künstlerin ist. Außerdem stoppten wir wohl am kleinsten KFC&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; der Welt und kurz vor zehn marschierten wir noch in einem Supermarkt ein. Gegen 23 Uhr kamen wir dann im Ferienwohnhaus an. Es war dunkel, so konnte ich nicht allzu viel sehen, doch das Meer war nicht zu überhören. Nach nem Filmchen ging es dann zu Bett, doch war die Nacht nicht allzu angenehm, da es echt verdammt kalt war.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Meine Nase war am nächsten Morgen durchgefroren. Den anderen erging es genauso, sodass wir uns alle bei Sophie und MJ im Bett zum Gruppenkuscheln zusammen kneulten.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBM985j5oI/AAAAAAAAAKM/P4yTey_Ql9E/s1600-h/CIMG2947.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBM985j5oI/AAAAAAAAAKM/P4yTey_Ql9E/s200/CIMG2947.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102663005014058626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Danach gab es unter blauem Himmel Frühstücksflocken auf den Treppenstufen der Veranda. Gar nicht mal übel! Dabei wurden wir unter skeptischen Blicken von den Nachbarn begrüßt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So verbrachten wir den Tag hauptsächlich mit Entspannen und mit dem Auto durch die Landschaft zu gurken, auf der Suche nach Empfang. Die scheinen echt Handysüchtig zu sein. Nun denn, ich hab die Chance genutzt Bilder zu machen. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBNjs5j5pI/AAAAAAAAAKU/W2aV5WwujXk/s1600-h/CIMG2906.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBNjs5j5pI/AAAAAAAAAKU/W2aV5WwujXk/s200/CIMG2906.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102663653554120338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Die Landschaft sieht aus, als ob sie mit einem grünen Teppich überzogen wäre. Doch außer Schafe und Kühe gab es da nicht allzu viel zusehen. Leider! Um ehrlich zu sein, fand ich die Landschaft zumeist ziemlich öde. Hier im Osten scheint es wenn, nur Hügel zu geben, ansonsten handelt es sich eher um Flachland. Nur was überhaupt nicht reinpasst in die Landschaft, sind die Palmen. Palmen neben einer Schafsherde, das beisst sich doch!!! Schade, dass ich kein Bild dazu hab...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBOVM5j5qI/AAAAAAAAAKc/df0XvIpF4hc/s1600-h/CIMG2922.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBOVM5j5qI/AAAAAAAAAKc/df0XvIpF4hc/s200/CIMG2922.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102664503957644962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBOyM5j5rI/AAAAAAAAAKk/zVPqByfL3FE/s1600-h/CIMG2919.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBOyM5j5rI/AAAAAAAAAKk/zVPqByfL3FE/s200/CIMG2919.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102665002173851314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Am späten Nachmittag konnte ich meine Flatmates dann überreden mit mir ne Runde Schwimmen zugehen. Und tatsächlich, sie waren Feuer und Flamme dafür. Das Lustige war, dass sie zum Teil ihre Bikinis oder Badehosen über die Leggins zogen… um sich angeblich vor der Kälte zu schützen…&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Das Wasser war mehr als nur erfrischend und ich hatte so meine Hemmungen &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBPP85j5sI/AAAAAAAAAKs/A6CpmkSxQfw/s1600-h/CIMG2923.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBPP85j5sI/AAAAAAAAAKs/A6CpmkSxQfw/s200/CIMG2923.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102665513274959554" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;davor. Erst die Wellen, die gar nicht mal so klein waren und dann noch dieses Rauschen. Einfach nur gewaltig! Das hört sich jetzt vielleicht so an, als ob ich noch nie am Meer gewesen wäre, aber so laut habe ich es noch nie war genommen… lag wohl am Wellengang oder daran, dass es keine Bucht sondern ein ellenlanger Strand war…oder, was am Wahrscheinlichsten ist, man kann das Mittelmeer nun mal nicht mit dem Pazifik vergleichen ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;na ja, jedenfalls kann ich nun von mir behaupten, dass ich im Winter (August) in Neuseeland schwimmen war.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBQOc5j5tI/AAAAAAAAAK0/uhDO-sGwvwY/s1600-h/Oppossum.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBQOc5j5tI/AAAAAAAAAK0/uhDO-sGwvwY/s200/Oppossum.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102666587016783570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Am nächsten Tag fuhren wir nach Napier. Dort gab’s zu Mittag und nen kleine Stadtbummel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Außerdem waren wir in einem Opossumladen, wo es Opossumfell gab, was sonst?&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Die Viecher scheint es hier wie Sand am Meer zu geben, denn auf den Landstraßen konnte man etliche sehen, die jedoch bedauerlicherweise genauso leblos waren wie in diesem Geschäft.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Gegen Nachmittag trafen wir Jessica eine weitere Mitbewohnerin. Und so ging es per Autokolonne zu ihr nachhause. Ein schönes Haus. Alles in weiß. Typisch Strandhäuser. Dort warteten wir Dip und Crisps naschend und Soaps und Sitcoms schauend auf das von Jessicas Mutter zubereitete Abendessen. Was übrigens sehr lecker war. Es gab auch diese süßen Kartoffeln (Kumra). Yummy!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Und der Nachtisch! Der war der absolute Hammer. Dunkler Schokokuchen mit Schokopudding und Vanilleeis. Besser geht es nicht!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Am nächsten Morgen hieß es dann leider wieder Sachen packen und ab nach Taupo, wo MJ und ich den nächsten Bus zurück nach Wellington nahmen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und hier wie immer noch ein paar Bilder, die ich euch nicht vorenthalten möchte:&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RtBRF85j5uI/AAAAAAAAAK8/Yun-XkNHKCw/s1600-h/CIMG2967.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Sofort kristallisierten sich zwei Teams heraus: Die Vegies (Julia and John) und die Meatlovers (Moses and me)! Egal was wir unternahmen, ob Poolspielen oder Rockclimbing, es gab immer einen Wettkampf zwischen den beiden Teams. Und nun seid ihr dran. Wer gewann wohl die meisten Spiele? Seid ihr eher auf der Seite der Vegies oder der Meatlovers? &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Outet euch! Bevorzugt ihr eine knackige Karotte einem saftigen Stück Fleisch?

Der Name Southern Cross (Southcrux) bezieht sich auf ein Sternzeichen, das man hier auf der Südhalbkugel sehen kann und auch auf der Neuseeländischen Flagge abgebildet ist. Es besteht aus vier Hauptsternen.

Es ist immer wieder beeindruckend was Kleidung bewirken kann… Irgendwann, hoffe ich, doch einmal ein Bild davon schießen zu können.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Oh mein Gott!! Nur mal so neben bei: Ich glaube ich habe gerade beim Veröffentlichen dieses Posts mein erstes Erdbeben erlebt. Puhh! Ich muss gleich mal jemanden fragen was das eben war. Jedenfalls hat mein Bett plötzlich total gewackelt, obwohl ich ganz ruhig darauf saß...uiuiui!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6108865354176844960-5607304265384214500?l=yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/feeds/5607304265384214500/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6108865354176844960&amp;postID=5607304265384214500' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/5607304265384214500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/5607304265384214500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/2007/08/blog-post.html' title='In the meantime...'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15236864351671428798</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/S_TaGDav_aI/AAAAAAAAByA/MHkoaVPiTOg/S220/IMG_5278+-+Version+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rs-Hvs5j5eI/AAAAAAAAAI8/Q_h8QR-9urc/s72-c/CIMG2895.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108865354176844960.post-8654545066810224261</id><published>2007-08-12T06:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-12T18:53:40.549-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mount Victoria lookout and lookout walkway</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8KeBgT1-I/AAAAAAAAAG8/m_p7BvhMObU/s1600-h/CIMG2845.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8KeBgT1-I/AAAAAAAAAG8/m_p7BvhMObU/s320/CIMG2845.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5097804814122997730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8JwBgT17I/AAAAAAAAAGk/kHNqNkprs7s/s1600-h/CIMG2805.JPG"&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Jaja, jetzt bitte keinen Anfall kriegen!!! Ich weiß, dass ich mal wieder total viele Bilder bei diesem Post verwende, aber wer mich kennt, weiß, dass mir Entscheidungen oft sehr schwer fallen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Letzten Sonntag, am fünften August, war das Wetter fantastisch, bis auf den Wind. Das wollte ich ausnutzen, und so machte ich mich auf den Weg, den nächst besten Berg zu besteigen um Wellington und die See einmal von oben zu sehen. Außerdem war ich neugierig, was wohl hinter dem Berg sich so tummeln mag. Hm, leider kam ich anfangs nicht sonderlich weit. Denn mein Weg endete vor einem Tunnel, der anscheinend direkt auf die andere Seite des Berges führt. Jedoch war es mir zu gefährlich dort durchzugehen, denn es ging eine Einbahnstraße hindurch und einen Fußgängerweg gab es auch nicht. Ich fragte ein paar Bauarbeiter nach einem Wanderpfad und wie es der Zufall so wollte, fuhr mich auch gleich einer der Jungs mit seinem kleinen Truck bis auf die Spitze des Mount Victoria. Während der Fahrt hatte ich mit seinem herumfliegenden Werkzeug zu kämpfen. Denn die Fahrt Bergaufwärts war doch sehr kurvig und er fuhr nicht gerade sehr langsam. Nun ja, es hat sich gelohnt, die Aussicht war fantastisch!!!! Ich war absolut überwältigt. Doch bitte überzeugt euch selbst. Schaut euch dir Bilder an. Sie das nicht wunderbar aus?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8JwBgT17I/AAAAAAAAAGk/kHNqNkprs7s/s1600-h/CIMG2805.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8JwBgT17I/AAAAAAAAAGk/kHNqNkprs7s/s400/CIMG2805.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5097804023849015218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8J-RgT18I/AAAAAAAAAGs/L2ftf1wfcUg/s1600-h/CIMG2808.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8J-RgT18I/AAAAAAAAAGs/L2ftf1wfcUg/s400/CIMG2808.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5097804268662151106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ich hatte so meine Mühe, die Kamera still zu halten, denn der Wind war einfach umwerfend. Ich konnte kaum stehen bleiben und war nur am Rumschwanken. Letztendlich musste ich von der Spitze runter, denn der Sturm drohte mich runterzufegen. Hammer!!! Ich hätte gern mal gewusst, welch eine Windstärke da oben gewütet hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8LKxgT2CI/AAAAAAAAAHc/IK07RNCJFZI/s1600-h/CIMG2849.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

An meinem ersten&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8bXRgT2NI/AAAAAAAAAI0/g5mDeyUw3lo/s1600-h/CIMG2885.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rr8bXRgT2NI/AAAAAAAAAI0/g5mDeyUw3lo/s200/CIMG2885.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5097823389856553170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; Samstag zum Beispiel war das Gala Awards Dinner, oder so. Es ging jedenfalls um Architektur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Und da hatten wir etwa um die 400 Gäste! Ich sag euch, die Tischdekoration war absolut umwerfend. Man sah eigentlich vor lauter Zeugs auf dem Tisch, den Tisch nicht mehr. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Letzten Samstag musste ich auf drei Events bedienen. Auf der Affordable Art Show, bei dem Creative New Zealand Dinner und auf einem Highschoolball. War alles ganz interessant und es sind auch immer andere Arbeitskollegen. Dieses Mal hat es richtig Spaß gemacht, obwohl ich 14 Stunden am Stück gearbeitet hab.&lt;br /&gt;Es war von allem etwas dabei. Ich habe ganz gute Kunst sehen können, Maoritänze, sowie Gesänge(alle Achtung) und kreischende Teenager in schönen und verrückten Ballkleidern. So kann das Arbeiten echt zur spannenden Abwechslung werden.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Doch kann es auch sehr langweilig sein. Solche Events wollen nämlich gut vorbereitet sein und das heißt bei angenommen 400 Gästen, 400mal dasselbe tun…400 main knives, 400 entree knives, 400 main forks, 400 entree forks, 400 siteplates….and so on. Da hilft dann nur noch ans Geld zu denken!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Außerdem hab ich so meine Problemchen… bei diesen Dinner werden oft sehr schwere Porzellanteller verwendet und da ich nicht gerade die stärkste bin, musste ich mich beim Raustragen dieser Teller ganz schön zusammen reißen um sie nicht fallen zu lassen. Wenn die Tische nur einen Meter weiter weg gewesen wären, hätte ich die Teller fallen lassen. Ich musste bestimmt zehnmal raus und jeweils zwei Teller tragen. Trotz Tücher hab ich mir leider die Finger verbrannt, die übrigens gar nicht mehr aufhören wollten zu zittern. &lt;span style=""&gt;L&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;@ Astrid: Respekt! Nun weiß ich warum du solche Arme oder besser gesagt solch eine Kraft hast, denn du brauchst sie ganz bestimmt!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Ansonsten klappt es eigentlich ganz gut. Die Deutschen scheinen einen ziemlich guten Ruf zu haben, denn wir werden ständig in den höchsten Tönen gelobt. Und wisst ihr was fantastisch ist!!!?? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Wir bekommen immer was zu Essen und zwar umsonst. Und ich muss sagen, es schmeckt gut! Mal schauen, vielleicht komm ich mit ein paar Kilo mehr nachhause ;-) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Keine Angst, bei der Rumlauferei bekomm ich eher stramme Beine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Herwig ein Österreicher ist der Chef von der Company. Mit seinen witzigen Sprüchen kommt er ganz locker und cool rüber, doch hat er auch so seine Ansprüche. Schließlich ist dieser Laden, oder diese Catering Firma nicht umsonst der/ die beste der Stadt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: times new roman;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="text-align: justify;font-family:times new roman;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Unsere Arbeitskleidung ist schlicht. Sie ist komplett schwarz, also total unauffällig und gestern hab ich auch eine Accesscard bekommen. So hab ich zu allem Zutritt. Die scheinen hier großes Vertrauen in uns zu haben.

Wo hingegen am Mittwoch die Sache endlich ins Rollen kam. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Eigentlich wollten wir ja schon letztes Wochenende auf die Piste gehen, jedoch wurde es durch die Arbeit doch recht spät (2 Schichten = 10.00am – 02.00am) und Julia hatte Probleme mit ihrem Knie, sodass wir doch nicht aus waren. Gestern hingegen (sprich Mittwoch), wollten wir es endlich wissen. Ist das Wellingtoner Nachtleben wirklich so prickelnd wie alle behaupten? So machten wir uns auf zum Courtenay Place und zur Cuba Street, die „Partymeile“ von Wellington. Wir hatten zugegebenermaßen mehr erwartet. Es waren zwar viele Leute unterwegs, aber die Clubs waren größten Teils nur sperrlicht gefüllt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Da gibt es eine ganz positive Sache an Neuseeland. Rauchen ist nur auf der Straße erlaubt. So konnte man ganz beruhigt durch die Clubs gehen und musste nicht immer Ausschau nach Zigarettenstummeln halten, die einen jeden Augenblick verbrennen könnten. Außerdem stinkt und müffelt man nicht so ekelhaft am nächsten Tag. Man riecht immer noch nach Parfüm und nicht nach Zigaretten. Ich oute mich. Ich bin absoluter Nichtraucher und hasse Zigaretten egal welcher Art!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;…So nun aber weiter im Kontext. Wir waren in Clubs wie dem Establishment, dem Maya und nach vielen andren kamen wir dann endlich in einem Club an, in dem Lifemusik gespielt wurde. (Ich kann mich leider nicht mehr an den Namen erinnern) Dort kamen wir auch schnell mit Leuten ins Gespräch und konnten mit beruhigten Gewissen, unsere Englischkenntnisse trainiert zu haben, nachhause gehen. Nur mal so neben bei, egal wo man hinkommt…man hat immer das Gefühl das Englischstudium würde einen geradezu verfolgen. Kommilitonen wissen bescheid! ;-)&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RrcR7TGsGyI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Jc3rb_9dUoE/s1600-h/CIMG2603.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RrcR7TGsGyI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Jc3rb_9dUoE/s200/CIMG2603.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095561213831289634" border="0" /&gt;  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Die Clubs hier in Wellington sind ziemlich abwechslungsreich und anders. Das Gute ist, dass man keinen Eintritt bezahlen muss, sodass man praktisch á la Monkey Jump von einem Club zum nächsten springen kann und letztendlich dort bleibt wo es einem am Besten gefällt.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Es ist kaum zu glauben wie die Leute hier rumlaufen, bzw. ausgehen. Wie ihr selbst auf dem Temperaturangabe rechts sehen könnt, haben wir’s hier gerade mal um die 12 Grad warm/kalt und die Leute laufen hier in kurzen Hosen und T-shirts rum. Das ist der Hammer. Doch nicht nur das ist eigenartig, sondern auch die Art wie sie sich kleiden. Extravagant, ausgeflippt, &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;geschmack- und fantasievoll, andere wiederum total zerfetzt und geschmacklos. Oder wie einer meiner neuen Mitbewohner demletzt noch über eine andere Mitbewohnerin sagte: You don’t dress up normal, but GOOD!!!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Ich versuch demnächst mal ein paar Bilder zu machen…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6108865354176844960-505309288792767255?l=yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/feeds/505309288792767255/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6108865354176844960&amp;postID=505309288792767255' title='4 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/505309288792767255'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/505309288792767255'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/2007/08/courtenay-place-und-cuba-street.html' title='Courtenay Place und Cuba Street'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15236864351671428798</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/S_TaGDav_aI/AAAAAAAAByA/MHkoaVPiTOg/S220/IMG_5278+-+Version+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RrcR7TGsGyI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Jc3rb_9dUoE/s72-c/CIMG2603.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108865354176844960.post-8345027109902318694</id><published>2007-07-30T05:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-30T05:27:48.903-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Auf Wohnungssuche</title><content type='html'>Da uns unser bisheriger Mitbewohner doch etwas zu langweilig erscheint, haben wir uns dazu entschlossen nach einer neuen Unterkunft zu suchen.&lt;br /&gt;Und was uns dabei widerfahren ist, ist geradezu unglaublich. So etwas habe ich bisher annähernd nur in Filmen gesehen, wobei ich sagen muss die Realität ist noch viel krasser. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zuerst besorgten wir uns ein paar Adressen über eine Art Studentenvermittlung. Die erste Station war ein Studentenwohnheim. Ein Typ namens David, zeigte uns auch gleich die ersten Zimmer. Und so bekamen wir unseren ersten Schock. Die Zimmer sahen aus, als ob darin eine wilde Party statt gefunden hätte. Bierdosen, Karten, Müllsäcke, Pizzaschachteln, Weinflaschen und stuff like that lagen verteilt über den Boden, sowie der Einrichtung. David meinte, dies sei ein gewöhnlicher Dauerzustand. Und nun glaubt bloß nicht, Julia und ich seien spießig. Denn das sah wirklich aus, als ob ne Bombe eingeschlagen hätte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doch der Brüller kommt erst noch. Nach weiteren drei Wohnungen, besuchten wir noch eine in der Cuba Street. Für alle die es nicht wissen, die Cuba Street ist bekannt für ihr reges Nachtleben. Im Cubabereich befinden sich unheimlich viele Cafés und Clubs. Also zum Ausgehen perfekt. Nur das Problem war, diese Wohnung erst einmal zu finden. Denn die scheinen es hier nicht so mit den Hausnummern zu haben. Irgendwann stießen wir auf einen jungen Mann, der ebenfalls in diesem Haus wohnte und uns herein ließ. Im Treppenhaus überraschte uns bereits ein scharfer Geruch und der Fahrstuhl war eigenartiger Weise mit Tesafilm beklebt. Im vierten Stock angekommen, klopften wir erst einmal an der falschen Tür. Der Boden klebte. An der richtigen Tür angekommen, öffnete uns ein junger Mann die Tür. Er sah beruhigend nett aus. Nur verflog dieser Eindruck, als wir den ersten Schritt in die Wohnung setzten. Links von mir lag ein riesen Müllberg, der mir fast bis zu den Schultern reichte, besetzt mit dem dementsprechenden Geruch. Er führte uns einen langen Gang entlang, auf dem wir einen flüchtigen Blick in ein dunkles Badezimmer werfen konnten. Am Ende des Ganges gelangten wir vermutlich in das Wohnzimmer kombiniert mit Küche und Essraum. Es war ein sehr großer Raum. Im Allgemeinen schien es sich um ein Fabrikgebäude zu handeln. Auf der Couch saßen drei andere Jungs. Sie hatten wohl alle eine schwere Nacht hinter sich. Der Kater war ihnen ins Gesicht geschrieben. Auf den Tischen häufte sich der Müll neben den Bongs und die Möbel waren total versifft.&lt;br /&gt;Dann wurden wir in die zwei frei werdenden Schlafzimmer geführt. Das Zimmer hatte keine Tür. Es war durch Vorhänge und Teppiche abgetrennt durch den Rest und dahinter verbarg sich eine Unordnung, das glaubt ihr nicht. Das sah so urig aus. Man konnte gar nicht hineingehen so überfüllt und durcheinander war das. Kleiderberge über CD Ansammlungen, Pflanzen, Müll und Dreck und das Ganze versehen mit einem starken, wie soll ich sagen, Gras- und Räucherstäbchengeruch. Das nächste Zimmer war wiederum einfach durch einen Vorhang abgetrennt und dort sah es nicht besser, eher noch schlimmer aus.&lt;br /&gt;Nach dem wir dankend ablehnten und noch auf eine Party am Freitag eingeladen wurden, bei der sie auflegen werden, Verliesen wir fluchtartig das Gebäude. Ich wünschte ich hätte Fotos machen können, denn so was kann sich kein Mensch vorstellen.&lt;br /&gt;Nun wir haben uns für das erste Wohnheim entschieden, denn da gibt es noch zwei freie Zimmer, die ganz ansehnlich waren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das sind hier Zustände…unfassbar! Bilder von meiner neuen sowie alten Wohnung kommen demnaechst. Bis dahin macht es gut und immer schoen kommentieren das Ganze!!! ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eure Yvonne&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6108865354176844960-8345027109902318694?l=yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/feeds/8345027109902318694/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6108865354176844960&amp;postID=8345027109902318694' title='6 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/8345027109902318694'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/8345027109902318694'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/2007/07/auf-wohnungssuche.html' title='Auf Wohnungssuche'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15236864351671428798</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/S_TaGDav_aI/AAAAAAAAByA/MHkoaVPiTOg/S220/IMG_5278+-+Version+2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108865354176844960.post-5892813492280188220</id><published>2007-07-30T04:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-31T15:47:29.530-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It is raining man…</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rq3W1TGsGwI/AAAAAAAAAFU/LsbbrmtQkDE/s1600-h/CIMG2702.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092962964775639810" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rq3W1TGsGwI/AAAAAAAAAFU/LsbbrmtQkDE/s320/CIMG2702.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rq3NNjGsGaI/AAAAAAAAACk/0qQCYfp2m_s/s1600-h/CIMG2673.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092952386271189410" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rq3NNjGsGaI/AAAAAAAAACk/0qQCYfp2m_s/s200/CIMG2673.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Heute war ich die Stadt ein bisschen erkunden und ich muss sagen, ich bin beeindruckt. Die Kombination von Häusern ist ganz witzig, sowie die Verkehrshinweise. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rq3NNjGsGaI/AAAAAAAAACk/0qQCYfp2m_s/s1600-h/CIMG2673.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rq3PcDGsGcI/AAAAAAAAAC0/1b1eo9S-1eE/s1600-h/CIMG2635.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092954834402548162" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rq3PcDGsGcI/AAAAAAAAAC0/1b1eo9S-1eE/s200/CIMG2635.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Und man kann eindeutig erkennen, dass die Queen, bzw.

Bei grün könnte man meinen, jemand würde mit einem Maschinengewehr auf einen zielen. Hört sich an wie in einem Trickfilm.

Bei jedem Stop, ob Singapur, Sydney oder Wellington durfte ich jedes Mal die Uhr um mehrere Stunden umstellen. Ohne meine Uhr waere ich total aufgeschmissen, denn mein Zeitgefuehl ist definitiv floeten gegangen. Ich hoffe, das gibt sich in den naechsten Tagen wieder. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rqqq8jGsGNI/AAAAAAAAAA4/2LDrYvUI58E/s1600-h/CIMG2541.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092070285887936722" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rqqq8jGsGNI/AAAAAAAAAA4/2LDrYvUI58E/s320/CIMG2541.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Uebrigens, hier links seht ihr den Flughafen in Singapur. War schon ziemlich beein-&lt;br /&gt;druckend mit den ganzen Pflanzen und dem krassen Teppich.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unterwegs sind schon eigenartige Dinge passiert, zum Beispiel wurde ich in Sydney auf Sprengstoff untersucht. Anscheinend sehe ich sehr verdaechtig aus. ;-)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RrHK3DGsGxI/AAAAAAAAAFc/4IFRhgyRWWs/s1600-h/Sydney_Opera_House_Sails.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RrHK3DGsGxI/AAAAAAAAAFc/4IFRhgyRWWs/s200/Sydney_Opera_House_Sails.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5094075700607720210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ebenfalls traf ich in Sydney auf Julia, eine Kommilitonin, mit der ich voraussischtlich die naechsten drei Monate in Wellington verbringen werde. Kurze Zeit darauf stiessen wir dann noch auf Tatjana, auch eine Mitstudentin, die in Wellington einen Freund hat. Der uns dann auch in Wellington am Flughafen abholte und Julia und mich in der Naehe unserer Wohnung absetzte. Nach einem, Kaffee und einer heissen Tasse Schokolade trafen wir auf unseren Vermieter ALI. Ein molliger Pakistani, beladen mit zwei Plastiktueten voller Doener. Waehrend er uns seine Wohnung zeigte und die riesen DOENER vorsetzte, wurde uns klar, dass dies ein sehr bescheidener, routinierter und absolut langweiliger Mensch ist. Sein Tagesablauf ist immer der gleiche: Aufstehen, Arbeiten, Essen und Fernsehen. OHJE!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nach diesem Megaessen, das wir eigentlich har nicht gebraucht haetten, da man im Flugzeug geradezu gemaestet wurde, machten wir uns noch auf den Weg etwas zu Trinken zu kaufen. Uebrigens, da es hier Winter ist, wird es hier bereits um halb sechs dunkel und die Zeitverschiebung betraegt 10 Stunden. Die Temperatur liegt ungefaehr bei 14 Grad Celsius und Wellington hat nicht umsonst seinen Spitzmanem Windy Wellington.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Beim Einkauf musste ich feststellen, dass die Neuseelaender, auch Kiwis genannt, kein Kleingeld unter 10 Cent rausgeben. Der Verkaeufer wusste gar nicht was los war, als ich ihn mit erwartungsvollem Blick anschaute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In der Wohnung wieder angekommen, versuchten wir uns muehsam wach zu halten, doch schliefen wir bereits total erschoepft um 21:00Uhr ein. Ein Jetlag kann einen einfach so ueberfallen. Anfangs dachte ich, ich haette den Flug und die Zeitumstelleung gut ueberstanden, aber nach wenigen Stunden kann das schon wieder ganz anders aussehen. So hat man staendig seine Tiefs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092075478503397634" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqqvqzGsGQI/AAAAAAAAABQ/QbOVP65mJRc/s200/DSCN0041.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Am naechsten Morgen machten wir uns dann auf den Weg zu unserem Arbeitsplatz. Zum Michael Fowler Centre mitten in der Stadt. Nachdem wir herzlichst empfangen wurden und einen Arbeitsvertrag aufgesetzt hatten, mussten wir auch schon weiter, wie zum Beispiel zur Bank, um weitere buerokratische Formalitaeten zu klaeren. Spaeter ging es mal wieder zum Einkaufen, wobei wir feststellen mussten, dass auch in deisem Land, fernab von Deutschland, uns deutsch vertraute Produkte verkauft werden. Wie zum Beispiel Werthers Echte und Philadelphia.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092075293819803890" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqqvgDGsGPI/AAAAAAAAABI/14oLsuXWXLc/s200/DSCN0040.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So das war es bezueglich der ersten zwei Tage in Wellington! Morgen folgt ein harter zweischichtiger Arbeitstag, Ich bin gespannt!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liebe Gruesse, Eure Yvonne&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ach ja, die Klospuelung verlaeuft wirklich anders rum!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Und als Abschluss noch die spektakulaersten Bilder beim Flug ueber die neuseelaendische Suedinsel:&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092077441303451922" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqqxdDGsGRI/AAAAAAAAABY/6oPDsnH8B4Y/s320/CIMG2583.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092077737656195362" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqqxuTGsGSI/AAAAAAAAABg/vyfod97x_wQ/s320/CIMG2586.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092077999649200434" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rqqx9jGsGTI/AAAAAAAAABo/E_WR4_FNW_Q/s320/CIMG2591.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092078188627761474" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqqyIjGsGUI/AAAAAAAAABw/GkOoN4h2NLI/s320/CIMG2593.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092078381901289810" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqqyTzGsGVI/AAAAAAAAAB4/mYBNyUDyvv8/s320/CIMG2596.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092078566584883554" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqqyejGsGWI/AAAAAAAAACA/rXq26smFg3M/s320/CIMG2599.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Ach und noch was: Welche Stadt mag das wohl sein (Verdammt ich finde das Fragezeichen nicht) Wer es erraet, darf mich besuchen kommen! ;-)&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092081113500490098" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rqq0yzGsGXI/AAAAAAAAACI/z3KhCSb-Tkw/s320/CIMG2579.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6108865354176844960-3349123024051713086?l=yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/feeds/3349123024051713086/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6108865354176844960&amp;postID=3349123024051713086' title='11 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/3349123024051713086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/3349123024051713086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/2007/07/ab-und-anreise.html' title='Ab- und Anreise'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15236864351671428798</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/S_TaGDav_aI/AAAAAAAAByA/MHkoaVPiTOg/S220/IMG_5278+-+Version+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/Rqqo0jGsGLI/AAAAAAAAAAo/cvovhgwUIeI/s72-c/CIMG2532.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108865354176844960.post-8500232518206028703</id><published>2007-07-09T08:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-22T13:08:03.796-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Los geht's...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqJxijGsGJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/V5CLHXvyp58/s1600-h/KarteNeuseeland.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqJxijGsGJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/V5CLHXvyp58/s320/KarteNeuseeland.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089755367234869394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So ihr Lieben,&lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;nun kann es endlich losgehen. Für alle, die es noch nicht wissen und schon ewig auf die Bekanntgabe meines endgültigen Reiseziels gewartet haben: Ich fliege nach Neuseeland und zwar am 24. Juli! Neuseeland, das Land, das ich schon zu Schulzeiten besuchen wollte. (Wer nicht?!) Und nun zwei ein halb Jahre später ist es endlich so weit. Das 8-monatige Abenteuer kann beginnen und somit auch das hoffentlich regelmäßige Berichten auf dieser Seite. Ich werde mir alle Mühe geben, euch auf dem Laufenden zu halten. Wer Lust und Laune hat, kann ruhig einen Kommentar schreiben. Ich würde mich sehr freuen. Den größten Teil meines Auslandsaufenthaltes werde ich voraussichtlich in Wellington der Hauptstadt von NZ verbringen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Nun denn, ich melde mich wieder sobald ich dort unten angekommen bin. Muss ja erst noch diesen verdammt langen Flug über Singapur und Sydney überstehen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Bis dahin, macht’s gut und haltet die Ohren steif!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Eure Yvonne&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;!--[if gte vml 1]&gt;&lt;v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" spt="75" preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"&gt;  &lt;v:stroke joinstyle="miter"&gt;  &lt;v:formulas&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"&gt;   &lt;v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"&gt;  &lt;/v:formulas&gt;  &lt;v:path extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" connecttype="rect"&gt;  &lt;o:lock ext="edit" aspectratio="t"&gt; &lt;/v:shapetype&gt;&lt;v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" style="'width:225.75pt;"&gt;  &lt;v:imagedata src="file:///C:\DOKUME~1\Yvonne\LOKALE~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image001.png" title=""&gt; &lt;/v:shape&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if !vml]--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6108865354176844960-8500232518206028703?l=yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/feeds/8500232518206028703/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6108865354176844960&amp;postID=8500232518206028703' title='9 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/8500232518206028703'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6108865354176844960/posts/default/8500232518206028703'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yvonne-inthemiddleofnowhere.blogspot.com/2007/07/blog-post.html' title='Los geht&apos;s...'/><author><name>Yvonne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15236864351671428798</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/S_TaGDav_aI/AAAAAAAAByA/MHkoaVPiTOg/S220/IMG_5278+-+Version+2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ySY-c5disxI/RqJxijGsGJI/AAAAAAAAAAU/V5CLHXvyp58/s72-c/KarteNeuseeland.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry></feed>
