Bye Bye North Island

The holiday season is upon us! We went to Wellington, the second largest city in the North Island with its 410 000 inhabitants and over, place where we take the ferry that will take us on the South Island of New Zealand. Wellington to us is above all the crazy life of a city can provide so we both know we will spend too much time.

But before going there, since the book our place on board we leaves 4 days in the south, we stop in Tararua Forest Park''to''once again hike, which activitée Karo joins us and me. Despite threatening clouds, we start with the idea to come back the next day completely soaked. The views are more beautiful obviously gaining altitude and our little hut perched near the top of the mountain ahead of us, cold and wet in the clouds. During the night, so we managed to warm (Karo had decided not to bring his sleeping bag and we would use mine as a cover ...), s'abbat rain on us with winds rather disturbing but hey, at least we were until morning was dry and had to return but the fog was so intense that the landmarks were no longer visible. So I got the kit late walker woods with my compass and map to realize that the last half hour of descent led us not to the right place. Karo''Go, go up it worse will seek the right path'', and the poor was completely disorientated and panic rather with the winds that moves us literally from one side to another of the simulated path we followed. And like any good thing done well with Gab, well we took the right path and landmarks reassured us as and as we advance towards the forest, a few hundred meters below. Whew!

The end of the trip on the North Island was very good despite the rain ends rather constant since a storm has created more waves and I could go surfing super good waves on the southern island of North. Here is a video made by tit Karoline middle of my talents to surf:



tite After a visit to a museum in the city of Wellington, we embarked on the ferry and we looked behind us all the good times spent on the island of North. Several people told us: "Spend too much time on the North Island, go to the South Island." But I find it hard to imagine that the South Island will be at the height of such large expectations because we have extremely loved our trip on the North Island. In fact, my impression now is that if people spend a vacation of 2 weeks to 1 month in New Zealand, images of the South Island will probably be much more impressive the North Island. But the fact is that the North Island has more history, more people, and has the character is not found on the South Island. The thermal springs, surfing, Maori, steps and the climate will be more difficult to find on the South Island. So we'll see if what I say now will be true in 4 months when we embark on the plane to Australia.

Next update: the holiday season, the South Island, and others.

What Is The Strongest Type Of Wood Bat

Special Edition - The fameuse VAN

What's his name? Give me an "H"! Give me an "O"! Give me an "M"! Give me a Y! What does it matter?
Homy!


Our van is a Japanese model Nissan Homy 1992 which has been used before in Japan. The standard of Japanese is higher than New Zealand, it was imported here as much else. It was then used by an individual for a business and finally by us. Here it is in its infancy with us on our arrival in New Zealand. Big thank you to Priscilla (here right now has to concoct a tit meals) that we found this little gem (at least, until now ...). Priscilla lives in New Zealand since May 2007. Following our transfer money into his account New Zealander, she has done the research and discovery of Homy. Cheers good friends like you Caught! Since

left Montreal with an array of tools, we knew we were going to spend time on what was to become our future mobile home. We only stayed just buy a small saw (kind of saw to cut the branches of the hedge which gets too big ...) despite that Karo was using the saw with my pocketknife, which she said was better. Has a battery drill was also necessary to begin work.

To his priority to good places, long before we have a table , we needed to music and light to these multiple evenings to come. So I started by installing a radio speakers. The passage of the son and electrical connections, it's long and not very apparent but it makes all the difference. We had to buy a new radio. For the rest, I brought the speakers and diode light borrowed from my old "RV" (I avoid mentioning that means ... RV) alias Chillmobil. These lights interact to generate a sound whose amount of lighting for the little energy they consume.

The bed was our next priority. But for that, he had to undo the rear seat that follows us even until today. Karo is seen sitting on it in these last moments of glory. Sketches are due be approved by our two before being implemented. We quickly realized that the decision making between me and Karo was very hardu spot caused by a lack of good communication ... obviously. The sketches were Everes be best to resolve the suspicions and misunderstandings. Phew, we found a way to communicate! Karo then came to the measurement of cuts and I was the execution thereof.



was trying to build furniture that has crossed the road but hey, here is the result of our bed that will eventually be painted.




The kitchen area remains to be determined and executed. Since we had a small propane stove with a small canister, we wanted to have a mini fridge which was run on propane. For this, we would have had a plug from a single canister, stove and fridge ... No individual wanted to sell us parts that were going to let that happen because, they said, "If someone blows up and you find pieces that come to my store is me who is in the March ... " Well, we would not have two cylinders with a fridge, so it was compensated for a cooler in which you put ice.

One long journey in stores and it was finally all the parts necessary to finish the cabin. Now we have a quasi-functional kitchen which makes more jealous. It was a small Contoire on which the stove is located. The table has a leg slides along the desk to be positioned above the knees ... Genial no? It can also be removed for more space if necessary. Moreover, if we're three people, the seat between the driver and the passenger can fall to 90 degrees to a 3rd seat. No, but it's the pimps who eh? Marie-Andree, we t'acceuille. It remains to disappear on a gas bottle and some small changes but Basically, it will be ca.


People who are already here want our campervan van! Cool! It will facilitate our task for resale.


So we expect you to fill the third seat!

When Do Tvs Go On Sale?

East Cape a Palmerston North

The road to Rotorua, capital sources and activitees geothermal, reserving relaxing moments, That was for sure! The Thermal Wonderland was a great tourist site illustrating this. Of craters, lakes, yellow / green, a geyser spewing a column of water from + - 20m high has every day to 10:15. (We quickly realized that in fact they control slightly the frequency at which the geyser spits his water thanks to a laundry soap ...).
What better leaving this spot tourists a natural bath. It was quickly appropriates a book that tells us most of the spots for swimming in hot springs and it is our favorite spot. A stream flows at a temperature of 42 Celsius, which joins another at 23 Celsius (+-80Farenheit). We can soak in a cool and in the other when one is too hot. Genial!



We could not move next to the curiosity which called Gabriel go see famous maze. And yes, ladies, gentlemen, a 3D maze of wood. Too cool. The general idea was to return each by a different entry, find the four corners of different colors and resorts in the same place from where you are from. Ouff! Not too lost, and although I was. Gab, it Turns out it very well. Let's say I had fun and we had a good laugh. It was learned later, that indeed I had chosen the most complicated route. (This choice demonstrates just my nature. Should I always complicated, hi, hi).

We decided to the road to East Cape on the way that many people we had recommended. Gabriel with a bit of hope trying to find fellow whitewater kayaking. But hey, he had to go to the evidence that full week with a trip of three days on a river, with people you do not know, is a task that requires more time. So we did some hiking as Cook's Cove (left) issues at least stretch their legs. A small bet for a water line fishing rod Gab on this wonderful Tolaga Bay wharf (right).


Breakfast stop at Morere Springs because we can not ignore a hot spring as well operates. Waikareiti lake and hop in the Te Urewera National Park. Very pleasant. I wanted a "track" a bit shorter and easier this time. I have been well served. Multitude of small lakes with a forest super interesting. Our van has even held up to make the trip rather arduous to get there. (Diane, Roy, please observe a little deeper into the picture with the drill. You might find some anomalies. Yeah, I even dragged super Karo with me). And then

Napier. Napier What to say. Nice little town that is p Enser some European cities near the mediterranean sea with many cons by art deco (an architectural term). I confess I had forgotten my history of architecture and not remember of what Art Deco. Well now I understand why it did not particularly attracted my attention. Buildings with a clothing style 50s. It is not even a photograph. But the vineyards were Vallue the detour. Say Hawkes Bay has a reputation in New Zealand for their Sauvignon Blanc. With a small tasting well rule. Mmmmm, "In deed.

Cape Kidnapper, our next destination in the program, we have been very surprising. An 8km walk on the beach at low tide to get to the end or a large colony of gannets migrate lands of New Zealand. Wow there was the big bird's. Worse sight ....

Good with all this and it is a maintenent Palmerston North. (Graham Sorry, we could not avoid it) So still a little farther south. A bientot

Pros And Cons Of The Morning After Pill Essay

De Taupo a Rotorua

Last week, it was still around the town of Taupo, the weather remained good until the deluge that made us flee Whanganui Bay (climbing spot) ... I'm glad to be here talking to you, COTE bait flooded gave us a cold sweat over rocks that itches underneath the van. A chance that this road had been rebuilt lately ... (And Max, the pretty rocks floating around everywhere Lake Taupo ... For others, the rocks are so light and full of volcanic gazs they float!)

Lately, we have finalized our van, it was climbing a Kinloch Bay, Kawakawa Bay Waipapa and again has Wharepapa South. Climbing spots are as small as each other. Ways of + - 30m high with bags as often taken. The rock not very solid demand to climb in style "sport climbing" (that is to say that someone has spent much time has drill holes in rock to install wafers which are used to attach the rope that connects us to our partner)

Not forgetting my Bungee jumping in Taupo! Phew, what a feeling! The heart was struggling quite a bit before jumping worse even after, I fell about buzz ... I would have liked to put my video here but I do not know how to convert a VOB file ... (Someone might have a solution for me? Sylvain, it makes me think you are a Mac?)






Since we arrived in the town of Taupo, the people we asked if we had marched commonly referred to as "Tongariro Crossing" ... we had not done so, but has certainly made us ca curious so we went. Certain sequences of Lords movies Rings were filmed in this part of New Zealand. It's basically a walk from volcanically active areas of 18.5Km way and the other side, it takes a shuttle to return to the car. Well as it is cheap, we decided to leave the shuttle and make the round trip in one day (they charged $ 50 for the shuttle)! Karo thought I was racing at the beginning of the day so I walked fast, but it eventually understand that this is a big day it's getting lined up! Then we came back from the summit Tongariro (+-1900m elevation) an explosion roared a few km from us twice with smoke coming out of Mount Ruapehu has erupted on September 25! Then I perched on my camera (like a good Chinese) to take the picture may be the last minutes of my life ... There was actually no place to hide, so what else could we do? Anyways, I put great emphasis to the above what was probably the blast at the foot of the ski slopes but it has screwed up even when the bitch! It's so impressive a volcano! I thought not but feel this enormous mass of information that can explode like that, it's scary.

is then inlined into another bay to climb, that I speak very top: Whanganui Bay. Is great, but good with a little more sun, there would be further tested these super climbing routes that we had several windy. Too bad. It convinced us to finally move a little Taupo.
It gives you news soon!
