Mini Van With Built In Table

Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland: a stunning plateau multicolored volcanic hot


Hang on, what follows is amazing! After planting 26 trees and trimmed hedges, we took a shuttle for a planet previously unknown of us ... the nature reserve of Wai-O-Tapu! You should know that New Zealand is on the subduction of the Indian-Australian Plate and Pacific Plate. Plateau Taupo is just above! This is not the most active area, however, it boils water from the bowels of the earth ... The hot water (40 to over 100 degrees) outcrops, streams, cascading into a myriad of beautiful colors , perpetually changing, depending on the content of different chemical components natural. Here are the main


Yellow -> sulfur

Orange -> antimony

White -> silica

Green -> arsenic

Red -> iron oxide

Black -> sulfur and carbon

Purple -> Manganese

We strolled two hours, blissfully ... is partitioned into an image, click here

Green Tea Laxative Or

Welcome to paradise not artificial



now enter our third place wwoofing ... the hotel Golden Springs in Bay of Plenty. We are greeted by two managers, a couple who lived 35 years in Zimbabwe. They organized safaris, walks ... But were forced to leave the country 5 years ago because of the dictator Mugabe. They have invested in a beautiful paradise of 3 hectares.




Once again, we are very well housed: we have a "cabin" very comfortable (Rented $ 100 per night for guests), close to BBQ. And the boss gives us fresh products normally used in the restaurant ... we cook our own way, yummy!



The particularity of the place is a stream of hot water meanders through a beautiful garden ... Recapture to cascade into a small natural spa to 39 degrees. And yes, we are on a volcanic plateau, hot water bubbling under the earth "look so peaceful. The vegetation is so lush, and the garden is full of surprises
pool, Tyrolean mills, trampoline, ducks, flowers ...

Tomorrow we start working: we are going to land 27 trees with Hans, the patron.Et then we should paint again, but this time outside! It will become super pro in paint!

Playable Virtual Jenna Game On Ipod Touch

Kariori first mini-hike very dynamic!




J 4 seconds with our guests ... Morning painting + household (our own;), then a quick lunch and it was spun "ride" on the "Track Karioi " first little hike with our stay! It was time ...




The start of the hike is above the magnificent gorges Te Toto ". And here we go, the panel announced a march of four hours round trip. A great reinforcement of spanking on the rump and narrative episodes of Little House on the Prairie (Loïc, hu), we buckled in 2h30 ...


The hike has still been punctuated by a few slips in the mud, climbing some passages, small pauses to admire the view overlooking the Pacific ... We loved the warm-up! Certainly, once on top, the clouds obscuring the landscape somewhat, but in the land of the long white cloud, it does not hurt! We even have trouble to discern the horizon, so the sea and the ocean merge ...

Fat Bulma And Chichi Fusion

Kawhia: it is not a myth!


For some time we hear of Hot Water Beach ... Of beaches where you just supposed to dig for water at 38 degrees ... After extensive research we begin to believe that it was a kind of "hunting dahut" New Zealand for tourists.

Only after asking for help to the village that we understand the technical : Follow the smell of sulfur at low tide and try his luck across ... And miraculously, the hot water flowed beneath our very eyes! Even a little effort, you dig, and it was a real little natural jacuzzi;)

Host No. 2 - Te Uku Raglan

We arrived Sunday night in new hosts: Matt Stockton and Jane and their two small daughters Emily and Isabel. Reception conditions are more than comfortable because we have our own apartment.

We started a new rhythm of woofing. We work between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning near the pond weed and Rescue of "native trees" ... then a dip in the pool and finally up to the discovery of the region.

We have already proposed to take care of the small farm and animals (goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats ...) during the absence of our guests this weekend!


Homemade Chicken Watering

stronghold of Kiwi surfing, and beautiful Bridal Veil Fall


Raglan, a small town in the east cost, is home to beautiful beaches and fierce waves, very popular with surfers in the world. We strolled on the first track, normally reserved for surfers beginners ...

(small technical problem passenger, a black dot stuck in the camera's lens. Phew, he is cured!)


Next Route to the Bridal Veil Falls : we were so excited to see that little has changed 10 minutes walk from the race although tonic; we galloped on tap, only to come face to face with a magnificent 55m drop .

What is crazy in this country, there is always a wonderful place to visit at least 30mn by car (though it should sometimes 1 hour drive to find a distributor)!

Skateboard Parks Sanibel Island Fl

Passage Express on the Coromandel Peninsula

We leave our hosts in the morning Saturday, 20/11, a little tug at my heart because they are really adorable, we felt so well with them! But we're still very excited by the prospect of new adventures ...

We trace south for a visit of Coromandel, a beautiful peninsula in the southeast of Auckland. It is a favorite spot for residents of the capital to invest in a second home, and come spend the weekend. We were advised to spend a minimum of 5 days, because even if the peninsula is only 70 km long and 30 km wide, each piece is to see. Unfortunately we only spend two days ... that will be more than enough to marvel at the beaches and make us want to return.

The weekend looks very early "wild" after a picnic on the scenic coast road seabird paradise for migratory birds, we plant our tent in the hills of Coromandel. Surprised by a storm, we find refuge in the early morning at a campsite of Backpackers. Day Two new atmosphere: fine sand and turquoise waters at Cathedral Cove.

Sale Of Tree In Canada

First job in NZ, "Renovating work "!


So far, only shows you nice things, heavenly, amazing ... Of course, there is also the "dark side of the moon"! We work 8 hours a day since Wednesday, November 10, to deserve our table, our cozy bed (with electric blanket;), the heavenly home, and some dollars (we will pay for half the time worked). We wanted to share this experience ...


We worked the first 5-week and 4 the second. Kenny, brother of our host, is our site manager: teacher, patient, funny and sharp tongue, it's a great boss! Then Jason, a Canadian backpacker adorable (see photo, a lookalike of U.S. Asterix veeeeeery small but strong!), Who carry around a battery (yes, you read correctly) in his car. And grandfather, Goliath, who raised a ton stones with Loïc the first week.


In the wooden house family, we removed all the wallpaper on the first floor, painted the first coat of paint, changed the stilts of the house, and built a wooden deck (in neo- Zealand, know that the word "deck" = terrace is pronounced "dick" lol) ... There is now powerful, and crippled with minor injuries in all kinds ... Loïc has worked out, so it is all black, and I painted white.

It ends tomorrow night, and we should leave tomorrow for the Coromandel Peninsula, south of Auckland, weekends for a small discovery. Then, new hosts, at Raglan.

First Check Faint Line Drug

Finally, our car, Maia! A WE


Here is our car, called today Maia (= brave in Maori).

A Convenient automatic, which seems to consume less than the car loan from the garage. It will be ideal for riding in the city, the sea, the mountains ... In short, all roads of NZ!

What To Write In Driving License Template

in Northland ...

After 3 days of renovation in the childhood home of our host, it's Friday, so the weekends! We are invited by Jason (Canadian travelers who works with us farm) to a party at his home in Bayly's Beach ... All happy, we enjoy the BBQ meat local juggling prowess of Matt & Joe ( Kumaran Circus), the band live, and meeting with locals and other backpackers ...

One night in the car, a little cool bath in the Tasman Sea, and we drive north, eager to discover the Northland. We have only two days before us, so we decided reluctantly not to go to the peninsula (Ninety Mile Beach, Cape Reinga ...)


Waipoura First stop at the Forest to admire his trees mythic Kauris . Some have more than 2000 years, they are really huge and stunning beauty!



Small picnic Hokianga Harbour, then follow the Ngawha hot springs, hot springs directly from the bowels of the earth. Several Whirlpool, 25 to 40 degrees, gorged sulfur.

Directorate Paihia, "capital" of the famous Bay of Islands "(promotional video click here), or we put our tent in a campground on the edge of the ocean. And yes, we changed our side, we are on the Pacific now!


Sunday morning, our first desire is to discover the islands, 144 in total. But how? We do not want to spend a day packed with 50 other tourists on a cruise ship ... For the same price, we rent a small boat! Loïc will drive perfectly ...

3:30
We'll navigate the bay, not knowing where we are! The islands are beautiful, the sea is calm, the sun shines ... We returned with 30 minutes late, and very friendly owner greets us before the start sulking ... We left the bay (see map we traveled along the coast from Cape Brett ) while we had no right! It was very sheepish, our goal was not to go that far! In all cases we took advantage ...


Following the two nights respectively in the car and the tent, we find a beautiful aparthotel (Pacific appointment ) desert, where we rented a room for the night to minimum price, because here is still spring. The view is superb, and we use and abuse of spa, pool and private beach!

Monday morning, the last day off, via Auckland to retrieve our car ...

Highlights For Brown Hair Images

Host No. 1 - Ruawai


Wake in the clouds ... Piu-piu birds and laughter of children, we did not dream, we are in Bamforth (to see their profile, click here ). Super dinner the night before, very good feeling, we already feel good!

And it's starting to hop around the property of 300 hectares with Paul Quad (yes, three above!). We check that the horse fits properly (water, fencing ...), we choose and isolating those who are going to slaughter tomorrow, we remove some prairie thistles and we visited a house under renovation ...

Paul then offered to help with renovations, cons compensation (!!). This is a nice wooden house in which he is screwing plasterboard and pick up the paint. The hardest part will probably not live in after!

This is our opportunity to begin formal steps to be employable:

- IRD number
- bank

which takes us about 15 minutes at position and who will be very useful later ...


We enjoy our stay in town for a jump on the coast ... Baylis beach ... Breathtaking!
