The journey continues

So as David wrote, we headed down south to get to some woofer places, in the meantime (which was an 11 hour bus drive) we saw the most amazing places you can imagine. It totally fit the expectations you probably got from New Zealand; the exact places like in Lord Of The Rings, Amazing plains, just like in Rohann and Mountains man, MOUNTAINS with snow and stuff, you know just like in the movies!
The joy we had only by glazing out the window was nearly unbearable, and the feeling when you felt asleep and woke up for the sight: amazing.

Imagine you wake up after 3 hours bumpy ride and you see this:



Lake Taupo, I think the most beautiful place I've EVER saw. Maybe its because of the lack of knowledge I got about the world but this was shocking for me. The existence of such place just made me wonder about so many things in general. The funny thing is (except that ALL the Maoris we saw were really fat, no offense but thats my experience) that a lot of passengers covered the windows when they were facing such sight.

The whole 11 hour was magical, I had to sleep about 3 hours because It is still hard to handle the time shift. The rest of the North Island was full of sheep, alpacas, deers, cows, and such. Funny to see how healthy and happy those animals are, eventho sooner or later they will be served on the dinner table. :D Anyways after 3 or 4 breaks we finally (or sadly) arrived in Wellington, which (for the first sight) was surprisingly boring. After a bit raging and quiting we arrived at a backpacker which was a bit more expensive then our last one and we instantly fell asleep.

The next way we had to face new difficulties, had to find a place where there free WIFI is, and in the same place we can charge our laptops and we were in quite a hurry. So we ended up at the Library again, and started hardcore searching for wwoofer hosts. After about 1 and a half hour of searching we decided to head south, with the Ferry over the sea. Unfortunately the ferry costs are quite high (~150$ for the 3 of us) so it was a hard decision to make.

After we reached the Ferry (5 minutes AFTER the boarding, as last passengers) we went on the top of the ship (reminder: NEVER do this again Marko, never) and chilled there till we arrived. No words can describe the beauty which awaited us on the other side. So let these few pictures talk:



JK here you go






Just amazing. Now we are in the lovely town of Pikton, planning whats next. The thing is, New Zealand is the best country of the world, by far. Everyone is friendly, the bus driver, the car seller, the receptionist, everyone got their own style, everyone is crazy, everyone smiles.

Wisdom of the day:
Beauty stops, where mass production starts, AND THATS WHY ITS HARD TO FIND GOOD PLACES FOR 3 PEOPLE.
