we are back again!! ;) Ok, so after our great night in the TV room we finally got to see the rugby match Canada vs. New Zealand! Of course we supported the All Blacks – New Zealand’s rugby team! Nevertheless, it has to be mentioned that the Canadians were incredible hot and we couldn’t stop to take pictures of them! ;)) In particular the one with the beard took our breath away. ;)) The match was not as exciting as we hoped, because New Zealand was already qualified for quarter finals and dominated the match. However, we had a really good time and the atmosphere was amazing!! The next day we left Wellington, escaping the terrible weather down there. Our next stop was Napier! As we spent just one night in Napier there is not a lot we can say about it. But the view was stunning and Hawk’s Bay is worth a visit! Leaving Napier, we headed up North to Rotorua. The funny thing was, we had the possibility to choose between two routes: one was the short one (2,5 hours) one was the long one (7 hours). Guess which one we have chosen???? ;) Right, we chose the long one. BUT we had no idea that it would take us seven hours to get there. Unfortunately, the streets were unsealed and reminded us a little bit of the streets that lead to the Stilfser Joch. So we were just able to drive a maximum of 30 km/h. So seven hours, one broken tire, no idea where the spare tire was and no reception later, we finally arrived in Rotorua – thanks to two Kiwis who stopped and changed the tire for us! 
Rotorua is famous for geothermal activity and geysers, so the whole city seems like burning. However, the smell is awful and two days later we left the town. But before we drove up North to the Coromandel Peninsula, we decided to do a horse trek. And it was just amazing. For two hours we were riding through the incredibly beautiful landscape of New Zealand. Remember: Das Glück dieser Erde, liegt auf dem Rücken der Pferde! ;)) (P.S. Monika’s ass is still hurting!!)
Our last stop in New Zealand was Whitianga on the Coromandel Peninsula. From the very first moment we fell in love with this peninsula and in particular with Whitianga, a small town with a population of just 3500 people. We met some incredible nice people, saw amazing landscapes, climbed the Shakespeare’s cliffs, lost each other, met Mr. Tequilla, had bbq, watched rugby at Smitty’s Sports Bar and Grill, watched some great movies (which some of us didn’t understand), cuddled with the cat of our hostel, went to the hot water beach and tried so hard to get to the New Chums Beach, which was HIGHLY recommended by our Kiwi and German friends, but unfortunately it didn’t work out because of high tides. So in the end it was soooooooooooo good or a better way to describe it: it was FUCKING AWESOME!!!! =))))) 
After we went back to Auckland and finally saw the ONE TREE HILL (no tree hill ;) ), we took the plane to the warm and sunny Cairns, where our first job was waiting for us!
New Zealand, maybe we will see you again!!!! ;)))
