Emma had her day off so we walked down to Taupo and I got myself some sandals before we headed down to the beach and meet her friend Dave and go out sailing on Taupo Lake for a couple of hours. I think we were out for about 3h sunbathing, swimming and chatting about what we have been up to for the past years. While we were on board Emma got a text from Mia asking if I would like to join her and a friend for the Tongariro Crossing the following day. Since I wasn't able to do the hike I had originally planned I thought that sounded awesome and accepted the invitation. So after we got a shore we went up to Taupo to get me some food and better shoes for the walk. ... read more

Today I decided to do the Coast to Coast walk. Now, I was a bit naive since I assumed that I would find food on the way so I only brought water. This was a terrible mistake since the track mostly run through parks and small communities, but with no stores or anything. I started out in the harbour and went up through many parks and up to one amazing viewpoint (as seen in the panorama picture). Besides not bringing any food I also had a map that doesn't show the full track and around where my map stopped the arrows did as well. So I wandered around hungry and tired in the sun for one extra hour before I found my way again as well as an Ice cream truck :D So I got myself ... read more

Since I sleept most of the day before I woke up at 6 and ready to take the world. After breakfast I went out to explore Auckland. Going up hill I soon started to wonder if I really was in the right country because every shop, resturant and so on were asian. Mainly Japanese or Korean and most sign where in does languages as well. (actually most people I met in Auckland were asian). Around lunch I got down to the harbour and found the I site (information site) where Department of Consvervation has their desk to see if they have an map over Lake Waikaramoana and if they new how I best got there. This is when I found out that the shuttle bus between Rotorua and Lake Waikaramoana only operates Sundays and Thursday, and ... read more

I didn't thought I would have to make an entry for the flight, but apparently a lot can happend... I got to the airport in Sweden in time, but when I got to the gate I saw that my flight was delayed with 30min. I wasn't really worried since I had 2h at Heathrow between flights so I should be able to make it. While we were in the air they kept telling us that our flight to Singapore will wait and that there is nothing to worry about. When we finally reached London we had to circle around for a bit since there was a lot of traffic and when we finally landed we were about 1hour late - which leaved me with 1hour to get to my flight. Now, it wasn't as simple as ... read more

Igår åkte vi till Ookurayama och kollade in mina gamla hoods :) Vädret var på topp och vi vandrade runt lite bland träden och kolla utsikten. Angie påpekade mest hur likt Chile allt var, så uppenbarligen är japan som chile, förutom att chilenare är lite mer högljudda ;) Vi gick till min gata med, men inga utav mina fd grannar var ute, men sen så var det ju lunchtid med. Därefter gick vi ner till Kikuna för att ta tåget till Machida och shoppa på en 100yen shop. Medans vi stod på perrongen så fick jag syn på Camilla och Malte (ikea folk), så jag sprang ut och lyckades få tag på dom innan dom försvann :D. Få se om dom kommer imorgon och besöker mig på design Festa, annars så skulle vi se om det ... read more
