New Zealand
is the fifth time I come into this paradise, and distance from Italy, I am certainly not afraid. (22 hours of flight)
The Boeing 777 of the Korean air after a night flight deposited us at the airport in Auckland, where we take a blue daiathsu rental from Hertz. Here I feel fine, I am very well be that here in Australia in New Zealand. Driving on the left and I have no problems changing the gear in the left hand even though I prefer the automatic transmission. As I have already visited the length and breadth of this land of Kiwis, both north of the island where we are in the south, and Joseph I decide to go north on that strip of land that I was missing.
Now I discover that the beautiful landscapes of hills made of green pastures well surfaced roads and little traffic, it's here as by other parts of New Zealand. just as it pleases me, 4 million inhabitants and 28 million sheep, few people, amazing.
Sleep the first night in un'ostello which is wonderful, surrounded by forest with a path just outside the room door in the middle of the forest here, they say, even if rarely, by night you could see the Kiwi bird. The Ferns are numerous in the valley you see an indentation of the sea that looks like a lake.
We play cards on a wooden table surrounded by nature, the apotheosis of freedom and joy of living, bè not overdo, it would have been better at that time instead of Joseph, there was a beautiful blonde, right?
Even he thinks the same thing about me. Depart from this paradise the next morning after having enjoyed the free breakfast and we throw ourselves on a small ferry that takes us the other side, even a boat trip we do, how beautiful.
Descend, I filmo go to go to photos and step manetta, New Zealand should be enjoyed at 100%., Driving a little Joseph, then on a beautiful bluff view of the high waves of the Pacific Ocean, which today is not
Let us return to the most important cities of the land of New Zealand yachting team, the Bay Auraki where Red Moon has been an awkward one to the premises.
We the great bridge and admire the beauty of the city with its high tower, a time we're meeting, thank goodness not in motion, by nature here is very rainy, otherwise all this green as it could be?
We continue to the east and continue to amaze me of the landscapes that change constantly with each curve. Gisborne is one of our steps, and we propose to Joseph to do that stretch of off-road in the national park between Whirinaki and Urewera national forest that I had already walked the precedente.Sono time about one hundred kilometers of delicious, brooks, lakes, waterfalls in height, Opossum forest animals and in quantity. A Murupara sleep after having dinner with a plate of spaghetti, Gio After port to see Soffioni boraciferi and swimming in a stream of hot sulphurous water, an incredible stream of hot water. only here.
Rotorua is near them and his name from the large lake is teeming with great blacks swans, a show. Here we can see other small lakes filled with boiling water, this town takes the hot water and distribute it to homes, with a considerable saving of power or gas for heating.
Joseph was amazed by this nation, and already now hopes to return as soon as possible, we make a visit to the great Kiwi fruit plantations here exterminated by this result that first as that will exceed production in Italy, were the first in the World.
The people very nice and altruistic, he will find that you're comfortable now in this place, and come to live here is not as difficult as immigration, compared to the neighboring Australia. here are very few and are in need of some figures. The Maori are recognized by the shape of the nose and so are well placed, in fact the All Blacks Rubgy of which are the number one in the world, animals are almost all Maori.
Unfortunately, like all dreams, the journey draws to a close and we are already very close to the beauty of Auckland ready to return the car, which was very well behaved these days.
Luck has it that the aircraft will give the first 2 seats in front, the port of exit or entrance, depending on the taste, so we can get up when we want.
