Aotearoa - New Zealand

Hi guys :)
Here we are again in a new country blogging about our life & the stuff we do during the day. But we still would like to know what's up with u? Wright us :)

Anyway, we are for the first time in a while in a new country :) A country that by sight looks like Norway except the vulcanos. :) New Zealand is about the same size as Finland with it's 4.4 mil, so a nice country to visit after the crowdy Australia. But a cold one :( It's freezing here in the evenings. Around 12 degree at the lowest and we now are in the warmer parts of the country. Shit :( mabye we can do some snowboarding here.. hehe.. And btw an interrestin fact, in the home of lord of the rings there lives 10 times as many sheeps as human beeings :)

Our first destination in this lovely country is the city surrounded by volcanoes, Auckland. With it's 1.4 million it's by far the most populated city but yet not the captial. Anyway, Auckland is a metropol like other big cities we have visited. They have the skytower, the skyscrapers and a nice harbour area with a famous bridge. :) sounds doll does'nt it? Noo, Auckland is different. It's the home of exstreme sports and u can really see that. In the middle of the city u can be shot 60 meters up in the air (in a cage of caurse), u can bungi jump the bridge and the skytower. Also from the skytower u can skydive. And thats just the spots we have seen so far. :) we like :) The city is built up by volcanoes so the harbour area even makes the one we saw in Sydney just ok.
It's amayzing & u can see it on a nice day. Thousands of sailboats and harbour cruises witch we off caurse attended. We spent the first day on a boat where we got to see the nice harbour area, have a walk on an volcano, see some fishing and even spot a couple bungji jumping from the harbour bridge. :) Pretty cool, but by far the coolest must be the volcanoes surrounding Auckland harbour. Magestic they rais up into the air, giving breath to new land. The picture of us above is taken from a volcano on the other side of the river that provides a spectacular 360 degree view over Auckland. It's a popular tourist attraction and on a sunny day there is thousands having a picknic.

Once in Auckland we off caurse had to do some crazy shit, so we booked time to do the skytower walk. Since the weather did'nt allow us to do it we will tell u about it in about a mounth. Then we will be back in Auckland for the last couple of days of our travel :( . Cause of the weather was not the best we kind of just chilled out, sorted some stuff out, planned our journey through New Zealand, did the national museum and went to the movies during this stay in Auckland. But Auckland gave us an impression that it's a city with limits. meaning that we think it would be a bit boring to stay for a longer period so for us the 3 days where perfect. And we have the same amount of days when we are back from our roadtrip nr 2. Witch starts tomorrow btw.... :) A new adventure in a new country with a different car. :) A juicy this time. Let's see how that goes :) hehe
But for now this is it for Auckland. We see you again and hope that the weather will be on our side so we can walk the 15m walk, 192m up in the air. :)

Well take care see you guys soon :)
Farewell.
