The roadtrip continues…

After a while of silence we are finally back, providing you with some news about our travelling around New Zealand. Due to slow internet connections or even no internet at all, we couldn’t update this earlier.

Have you ever seen trees with a girth ranging from 12 to 16 meters? No? Yeh, I thought so. Then you might want to take a look at what we’ve seen here in NZ..

A sign warning you of passing ‘Kiwi’ birds – unfortunately they only come out at nighttime, so we didn’t see any

Miro and Tina checking out what to discover here

That IS a rainforest!!

‘Tane Mahuta’ – The Lord of the Forest. 13 f-ing meters thick, 51.5m high

Another one of me (Thomas) holding the lord

All of these Kauri trees are that big – I look like an ant compared to this

The ‘Four Sisters’ – Well, acutally you can only see three of ‘em

Miro collecting impressions

Heading towards the biggest of ‘em all – ‘Te Matua Ngahere’

And there it is – astonishing 16 meters big

The northermost place in New Zealand and the meeting point of Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately the weather was crappy so the sky was all blurry.

Damn, so far away from home! (London – 18029km)

That actually is the cape
