!!! New Zealand !!!

Hello hello hello!!! Here we are in Kiwi-land! We arrived here safely (except for our tent which was confiscated at the airport and had to be sterilized!!!) yesterday and by now we have already fallen in love with the country and David has decided that we won't leave again. So much for our travel plans! :)

No, seriously, we have had the most wonderful welcome here and are living with a really, really nice couple who has already introduced us to New Zealand barbecue and four generations of Kiwis (the people here). The landscape with snow-caped mountains on the one side and the ocean on the other side is just breathtaking, as are the temperatures. So we have decided to drop the idea of biking through the country and will start looking for a car tomorrow!

In any case, I just wanted to let you know that we arrived here safely and I also wanted to remind you not to use the Australian address anymore because we won't receive any more letters from there. (Bjoern, deinen Brief habe ich leider nicht mehr bekommen; Silv, dein Brief ist an unserem letzten Tag in Sydney noch angekommen und ich habe mich wie ein Keks gefreut - Antwort bekommst du natuerlich bald). For all of you who used the Australian address so constantly, thank you soooo much. It was always wonderful to get some letters and news!! A little bit like Christmas when you were young. :) [edit by David : .................................... I've nothing more to say -_- ]

So, here we go for now! It's time to explore Christchurch! Take care everybody!

PS. I have already seen some sheep and Sansibar and Janis are loving it here :):):)
