hello, here some more pictures. I spent two a half months in New Zealand and it's definitely a great country to travel. Locals are so friendly and every 50km the nature changes! These pictures are just from the South Island..

hitching around

wharariki beach, this is a great to big bay to spend more than half a day! some seals around and so many caves to explore

the clearest springs again, this time after sunset

sometimes the houses are coloured like in finnland

hiking on humbridge track, a very nice walk where I could see aswell some hectordolphins

walking back on humbrigde track, all along the beach. 17 km in 4 a half hours, not too bad if you consider that it is all mudy and slipery

The world's fastest Indian. This is the real bike of Burt Munro in Invercargill

oops, street was floded. We drove (I hitched) almoust back where we came from, but on gravelroad and that 110 km

I was visiting a farm. when I stayed in Cromewell, Locklan gave me the adress of his parents, so I just popped in there

Ulli's 56er Vauxhall. This is just one car of the collection in Seacliff

Seacliff was a lunatic resort. now it belongs to Frank, who stores his 50 old English cars there

I worked for 10 days at this place. this is a historical stonebuilding(new zealand is not that old), so I we fixed the edges with mortal and painted it. I was aswell living in there

horses made a great job for the spirit in the Asylum Lodge. this is the entry of the hostel, sometimes blocked

Kaiteriteri in Goldenbay, I can't complain

some bird I guess

pancacke rocks between Westport and Greymouth. I've hitched this track three times, it's just a 100 km long:-)

evening shot in Greymouth. I was fishing with some local buddies

Hokatika, wild sea. I took a bath in the morning, but waves and stones made my feed bleeding..

an other sunset at the westcoast

up on the mountain above queenstown. somebody who has seen Lord of the Rings can recognize the mountains

I just run up this mountain and took then a "free" ride down with the gondola
