Hello and Goodbye

A few days ago we arrived in Auckland. My last text was very short, due to lack of time. Now it's late and we have to leave for the airport in 6 hours. But here is Kiwi-land at a glance part II :)

Like I said in the previous message, New Zealand has been great. A few highlights:
- Nature, nature, nature...
-Adventure is the keyword; hiking, glacierclimbs, kayaking, whatever..
- The silence and properness (after Dhaka, Bangladesh).
- The cities are often forgotten, but are really cosy. Lots of history, not too big and friendly people.
- I leared more about Maori culture, which is very interesting.
- 4600 km of travelling by camper (confession; I didn't drive. Chris is a great Kiwi-camper-driver, I'm better with maps. Never change a winning team ;))
- I've become addiced to Chai Latte. It's better then the Bangladeshi Cha or the Indian Chai. It's like a capuccino, but instead of espresso with spicy (kardemom, cinnamon and ginger) black tea. It's superb :)
-About Auckland: Most people say it's not worth a visit, but I like it! Like moste scities here cosy, friendly and not too big. Tonight Chris and I had a farewell-dinner at the Skytower at an altitude of 190 m. It was definately the highest and most pecial place I ever dined.

Well this is it from New Zealand. Next text will be from Thailand, where Chris and I are going to spend some time. So goodbye Kiwi's, hello Thai!
