The Blue Lagoon at Nanuya Lailai

Posted by admin On August - 2 - 2006

Today morning I went diving at the Blue Lagoon. The dive site was called ‘Tom’s Tumb’. I’ve heard that in this area are many dead corals and it is not worth to dive there. But I really wanted to know if that is true. And yes, it was. Its was too expensive (F$ 100 for one dive) and you will see less things alive and a big graveyard for corals, everything gray and demolished. But in 18m dept I found the most beautiful Kauri shell ever. After being back for lunch I produced a coconut bracelet. The Israelis left to Naviti where I want to go the next day for going diving at the ‘Manta Ray Resort’. I phoned immediately with ‘Coconut Bay Resort’ and there were still beds available (funny: two days ago they say it was booked out). In the afternoon I went with Lisa from California to the Blue Lagoon for snorkeling. In the evening I had some Kava and played some games. Could only take a few pictures since I only had some left on my quick snap cam… Too bad my SLR had dropped into the water and didn’t work…

Walk the island…

Posted by admin On July - 23 - 2006

After Zoe, Aaron, Mark, Rosie and the girls left the island it felt more quiet than ever before. Not many people from the original crowd were left. Nathan, Simon, Simone and I decided to walk around the island. It took us about 3 1/2 hours for walking first to the millenium bure, then more further and after the mangroves down to the beach through the jungle. I arrived first at the beach and went straight into the water. Had done a vision my camera felt down into the water so I went back to the beach to save it. On this way back it happened, the camera dipped into the water. But it was not destroyed, just could not work properly anymore. What a shock! No photos anymore. Hopefully the others send me as much photos back… In the evening was beach party and I saw the first time in my life shooting stars. And about seven! That was very good after the stupid camera accident.

…till dawn

Posted by admin On April - 22 - 2006

Tired at 5:00am in the morning I was looking forward to watch the most beautiful sunrise I had ever seen. It was breath taking. Everything was touched of red sunlight.

At 9:00am I should meet Doug (www.whalesanddolphin.co.nz) for a trip with boat to swim with the dolphins. This was my big wish and I thought this day will be the day. Unfortunately I saw not even one dolphin or whale. Just seals and penguins. But Doug invited me for another try. But all in all the trip was wonderful. The boat was as fast as a speedboat and feels like that when it jumped over the waves.

From dusk…

Posted by admin On April - 21 - 2006

Friday evening I started in Auckland for a trip on the east coast of the north island of New Zealand. Somebody I knew offered to give me a ride since I don’t have a car.  On the way I saw a massive kiwi sign at a big kiwi plantation. We were in no rush so in the evening we arrived in Whakatane a town at the Bay of Plenty. It was just the right time for making nice sunset photos at the beach. Then I had a great dinner with delicious seafood and I decided to get up at 5:00am the next morning for taking pictures of the sunrise at the ocean.

Don’t forget: If you’re cooking shellfish like this mussels above – cook them in their own juice! Only then you have the typical mussel taste because the water inside is salty. The tap water spoils the taste. Just put enough water in the pot that the ground is filled – not more! Cook them until they open themselves – ready! Mhhhmmmm…..

Piha and Karekare beach

Posted by admin On April - 6 - 2006

This Thursday the weather was perfect for a trip to Karekare and Piha beach. To drive there from Auckland you will need 1 1/2h. That’s not this far and the way goes through the small roads in the bush. Wonderful. First we stopped at a giant waterfall on the way to Karekare beach. As I said once the sand of the beaches of the western coast is black due its volcanic heritage. On the opposite on the eastern coast the sand is white. Karekare was wonderful, wild and almost empty…The waves this time not this high. No wonder that the producers of ‘The Piano’ choose this beach as scenery for some of the magnificent shots.

After visiting Karekare we visited the famous Piha beach. They say it’s the most dangerous beach on earth, every year many people die in an accident because they are too reckless. There are big slipstreams. In the middle of Piha beach is a giant rock called lion rock because it looks like a laying lion.

Lake Taupo

Posted by admin On March - 8 - 2006

Today we had planed the Tongariro Crossing but unfortunately since yesterday the weather is changing. It’s a dark sky and it rains sometimes. And Tongariro Crossing means a walk about 17km through the Tongariro National Park. Must be nice but not in rain. So we decide to go home, back to Auckland. On the way we stopped when we saw something nice. And first we found the Tongariro National Trout Centre. Here you can explore everything about fish and fishing – and you can feed the trout. Later we took some pictures of the amazing countryside we saw…

I think in New Zealand they like to breed deer. Saw many of them…

On the way home we passed Lake Taupo the biggest freshwater lake in New Zealand. Some even say it is the biggest lake in the southern hemisphere. Here you can find the typical black swans.

Pupuka Beach and Cathedral Cove

Posted by admin On March - 5 - 2006

Today we needed a bit relaxation. So we decide to stay for a while at the wonderful Pupuka Beach near Hahei. It’s one of the nicest places I ever visited. The water is crystal clear and glistens in the sun. It’s a touch of South Sea… First time I feel like in real holiday mode.
For the touristy part we decided to discover Cathedral Cove. It seems to be around this area but in fact you walk a long way about 30min to this special place. But look at the pictures… It definitely paid off!
This night we slept in Roturua at the “Funky green voyager” a very nice place to stay with friendly people. That’s why we decide to stay for two days. On the way to the backpacker I saw two funny buildings looking like a sheep and a dog.

Coromandel and the “Hot Water Beach”

Posted by admin On March - 4 - 2006

On the way to Coromandel an old gold-digger town and to the famous “Hot Water Beach” we stop at the Mercury Bay where I took some nice first pictures of the shore. While posing for a picture I felt so freezing because it quite cold and windy that day. So smiling was difficult…
Arrived in Coromandel we had breakfast. But the town is famous for it´s fish as well that´s why I walked straight to the fish shop and tried some smoked tuna. Mmmmhhhh delicious.
On the way to our backpacker in Whenuakite we saw this wonderful waterfall. It was actually my first waterfall on this trip so I got all excited.  Later we passed the Kauri Grove. Kauri is the famous New Zealand tree who grows hundred of years to be as big as a Redwood tree in North America. In fact they say in New Zealand grows the oldest tree on earth – a Kauri. Unfortunately the photos can’t show the giants in a more impressive way.
In the afternoon we checked in at the bagpacker “Sea Breeze” in Whenuakite. It was the worst one of all bagpacker. We had problems with hot water and we felt not comfortable there…The only good thing was, that you got your spade for the Hot Water beach for free. Because it makes no sense to experience that beach without a spade! Yesterday we had checked the times of the tights because it is nessesary to come at the right time if you wanna do the hot-water-experience. First you have to find a good place then you start diggin a kind of tub. You need to have some water in there beforehand. Important is the fact that the deeper you dig the hoter will be your water. Finally I burned my butt during sitting on a quite hot spot. Literally!

About Me

“There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
