Trip Report - continued: Rotorua & Napier II 9th-18th June 26th

We had our first guests! A German couple who were just like that, and two Kiwis from Christchurch, who wanted to escape the bad weather. Especially with the latter we got excellent and were able to persuade even for another night. We have the addresses and invitations to Christchurch . Get
Until yesterday, the weather played great and we have not only color, but the arch is finished. Time for a new project. For the first time we have become active as a self-sufficient and have brought us to the bridge mussels. Therefore one must take the little boat approached, because of the simple points everything is already harvested. The preparation is compared to mussels purchased although more expensive, but you look forward to even more on it.
Since today it is raining, however, like the watering can and has been for over 12 hours! There is no end in sight.

But finally coming to Travelogue:

After we left the North Country we are after a second visit to Rotorua. The real purpose was a check on the car, but we have the time also used elsewhere and visited more unusual things:

example, the Wingspan Trust cares for the care of wounded birds of prey and their growth. Incidentally, the only New Zealand falcon, natürlcih the daily also makes a demonstration. Seeing a great opportunity, the rare New Zealand Falcon and take his hand.

New Zealand Falcon - fast like a rocket!

If you have the time since you can drive around Lake Rotorua. This is a stop in Hamurana duty! It crosses a shallow, self- for New Zealand conditions extremely clear river. Following this, one comes after about 15 minutes walk to the source: a single source from which spring water per second 1250l and the right forms a lake, since it arises in a 15m deep hole. Coins you throw may bring happiness, but in any case, fun as it can take a long time, until the coin will land somewhere. Once a year they are fished out and come to a good cause.

recognize thanks to the reflection that this water flows.

you have not enough then you should have the opportunity to use a baby lion to stroke. In New Zealand's only breeding lions with adjacent zoo. A special celebration are the wild birds that have learned to steal visitors to the animal feed and eat out of hand.

isser still love ...

A Walk in the Redwood Forest may be missing in any visit.

Then it was on to Napier. The road to it offers a grand view and the single Lookout, one should not just turn it off at the goal. From the car we see the spectacular Waterfall that is not! What we almost and people in the car coming later happened anyway. The picture is but you will save.

The highway from Rotorua to Napier takes a long time by wooded hills, the sight of you get pleasure to wander through them. Much of the route has neither the ability to stop, nor is there anything else to see but forest, forest, forest. Very beautiful and suitable for me, since I just "The Hobbit" and the landscape is often read as the background information here.
In Napier we have a nice walk properly again gotten sun.

at the colorful Art Deco buildings in the city we passed through a park up the hill, from where it is not only a top view of the harbor, but also eternally distant coastal can see along. On the way we met a woman from Malta, was delighted that we know their island :-)

the evening we have our Spa relaxed, at 38 degrees water temperature cool night air smelled Napier and catch the latest Kiwitratsch.
The next day we have a so-called Wine Tour participated: three wineries visited and tasted the wine, have shown Vineyards and occasionally get quite a lot of information, for example, that in order to protect the wine from frost, sometimes even helicopters are used to swirl the warmer air to the vines.

sheep everywhere, even at the Vineyard

The wines were almost all leaks (per Winery tried 5-8 varieties), but I am still not used to the idea that there is only one Winery in NZ is that their wine without the aid of fish-producing, egg or dairy products.

Otherwise, not spectacular, and after sunset falls on the Christmas lights - of which we have already been reported.
further on the journey towards Wellington, we made a stop at Te Mata Peak, a hill with fantastic views close to Hastings, where you can make nice short walks.

Was there the feeling of standing in a Märklin landscape.
