New Zealand

As promised, but just a few days later, here are my first New Zealand photos. It took a long way before we decided to go to New Zealand. At first we planned to go to Canada (Nova Scotia) in June, did our research there and then tried to book. Unfortunately we didn't succeed in booking our RV (Camper) by our favorite company. Not in June in Nova Scotia, but also not on other stations throughout Canada as well as at other times.
After that we wanted to make a smaller holiday somewhere in Europe, but somehow it didn't 'taste' good. Then my wife said 'it would be a dream if we could go to New Zealand'. Then she/we started our reseach again. And that' how we ended up making our holiday on the other side of the world.

Thanks to all people who helped us to make this trip to New Zealand possible. To mention a few of them: The travel agency, the RV rental company KEA, local tourist informations and of course the local people. Only with their help and tips we could plan and enjoy our trip as you can see here on the photos.

There are a lot of photos taken driving the New Zealand roads (my wife was driving, I made the photos ;-)). These will give a good impression of the scenery of the country. These photos have of course another quality level (RV is moving and the windshield reflexions), but also another flare. This has been done on purpose.
More photos of the flora and fauna can be found following the links in the description under the photos. I just put only few of them in this section to keep it maller ;-).

Now thats enough introduction for now. At the moment only the first 4 and the 24th day of our holiday are (partly) finished. A lot more will be added later on. So if you like the photos here, come back later to see even more.
