10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - und AUS!!

Guten Abend alle miteinander!
Die Reise im flugzeug von christchurch, sydney dubai nach wien hat 33 stunden gedauert. war eigentlich ganz ok. bin mit der oebb http://www.oebb.at/ nach sankt valentin und von dort mit eigenem auto nach losenstein. das war wieder eine totale umstellung von links- auf rechtsverkehr. ich habe paar mal statt geblinkt den scheibenwischer eine ehrenrunde drehen lassen ;))
zuhause habe ich gleich mal mein neues zimmer anschauen muessen - fein geworden!!! da fuehlt man sich gleich wieder wohl - das essen, die landschaft, die familie es passt einfach alles hier!!! oder DAHOAM IS DAHOAM!!
obwohl: mich juckt es mich schon wieder mal, so eine ähnliche reise zu machen - villeicht eher mehr kiten statt bergsteigen , nach suedostasien oder evtl nach hawei zum wavekiten???
das steht alles noch in den sternen.....
eine solche reise kann ich jedem empfehlen, der noch irgendwie die moeglichkeit hat, aus dem alltag etwas zu entwischen. bitte macht's es!! es kann einem nur bereichern!
weitere kommentare folgen sicher noch.
bin zu muede für heute - ich freue mich schon auf euch!
lg bernhard
ps.: das ist mein neues zimmer aus ahornholz mit waldkanten -geil - und wie man sieht, juckt es mich schon wieder in den beinen, eine solche reise wieder mal zu machen.

good bye wonderful new zealand!












ich bin gespannt, in welcher weise es mich veraendert hat, ihr werdet es sehen...











zurück im alltag - hier zählen wieder andere werte! oder?











bin auch gespannt, wann ich wieder mal "unter strom stehe"...

Akaroa and Christchurch

hi yesterday i drove from kaikora to akaroa. on the evening before yesterday (lazy sunday in nelson because of no good wind) i went south to kaikoura. and near blenheim an civil policemen caught me because of speeding. i managed it to pay nothing. so also the new zealand policemen are nice...
on monday afternoon i did some swimming with dolphin with http://www.dolphinsakaroa.co.nz/ in akaroa. that is a peninsula south of christchurch. we were only 5 people on board and we were lucky to get 30 hector dolphins in the marine reserve area. i had the most around me were about 10 dolphins. they get very close to me ( nearly 20 cms) and swum around me. after the session the jumped very high , that means they are very happy.
really nice place there in akaroa. by the way that place is a french settlement with nice restaurant and bars.
on the evening i went back to christchurch and had a nice sunset there.

nelson back again

hi!
this saturday i went swimming in richmond and in the afternoon i did a kitesurflession with warren.
i try now to get back to the starting point and do the turn.
so it needs some hours to get really into it, but when i come home i would like to try snowkiting when it gets possible. i make progress every lessions - wow
so now i will look for the wind and weather conditions to answer my question if i should go to christchurch or i will spend another day here in nelson for kitesurfing, because i want to do the first jump otherwise i have to stay here in new zealand!!!
ok cya

sheeps on the street in morning when i went from clearwater lake to nelson.

this friday i did some fine kitesurflession with wiebke in nelson. nice windy weather - i prefer now more the north kite than the Capirinha kite. the north kite is more direct. capirinha is for rokies ;)) i hope i can try tommorrow my first jump.

The spirit of the mountains calls one unceasingly and bids one to understand.

Those to whose spirit it has spoken can never more be sundered from it though seas and other lands lie between, for they bear the memory of it about in their hearts continually, as if it were a new strength.

(Peter Graham, New Zealand Mountain Guide 1878-1961)
