Hot Water Beach-digging a hole at 5:00am; managed to avoid the tourists, but not the rain and a fast coming high tide.!! We had a really good time there...makes me smile to think about that crazy morning.

Cathedral Cove

Kayaking in Opoutere

The Zorb-Another crazy sport invented in New Zealand. This is the Zorb site in Rotorua, actually the first one in the world. We rolled straight downhill in one of these spheres half-full of warm water.

And this is Alex enjoying a second ride (her birthday present from everybody in Palmy).

Mit Wagners in Neuseeland

Road trip to Coromandel and Taupo

2 hours on the train, 26 hours flight, switching from summer to winter and missing the first time my country's football team wins the Europe Cup... Now I begin to understand what we've done is more than just "moving to another country"!
Well, here I am, and our first trip here is a Road Trip to the Coromandel Peninsula together with Bruno (Swiss), Bernd (German) and Brendan (USA). And although it was winter, I spent my first birthday in NZ lying in the sun at Cathedral Cove. Not bad...(except for the sandflies)

Hot Pools in Taupo: Taupo is a centre of volcanic and geothermal activity and hot springs suitable for bathing are everywhere around the city.
