Picturetime

After seven weeks we are leaving New Zealand today and I would like to show you some pictures of the North Island. We spend some time on beautiful beaches,
Than we went underground in some old gold mine. But 200 years ago they did not leave any gold for us ;(

Of course there are lots of hot springs everywhere and a few impressive geysers






But a "high"light was our attemt to climb Mount Dome from "Lord of the Rings", where we ended up at windspeeds of 50-80 km/h and pouring rain:
But there are other volcanos around which are even higher and more impressive as Ruapehoe


and Mout Taranaki. At the top:





and from the bottum.


We will fly from Auckland to Singapore tonight and will enjoy a beautilfull view from a nice hotel over the habor. Looking forward to see you all again at home!
