NEW ZEALAND 2011

26 FEBRUAR 2011 T/M 27 MARCH 2011

New Zealand is such a great country, that when I met my new girlfriend Karin and shared with her my passion for this wonderfull country, she also got entousiastic for New Zealand.

We agreed in november 2009 that we would go to do this adventure together. Because of her job one of the remaining options to have four weeks of holiday was the month of March. So we decided for March 2011.

This time I made a highlight tour of my first to visits to New Zealand with a few new things like White Island (Active vulcano), Akaroa (dolphin swimming), Cape Reinga, 80-miles Beach and the Coromandel. Our flight is booked with Cathay Pacific with a stopover in Hong Kong. We rented a campervan by Apollo Campers in Auckland. The camper is 7.10 meter and is equiped with toilet and shower.

The planned activities are: 
- Going into an active vulcano called White island;
- White Water Raften near Okere Falls, highest waterfal 7 meters;
- Visiting some of the thermal parks in Rotorua;
- A Cruise and Walk in the Abel Tasman National Park;
