That Bug
Looks like a Weta.

dead weta
It looks a dead weta, its like a large cricket ,they can bite when they are alive, and get big, very primative looking.

New Zealand
You definitely did have an interesting trip here. However, there are actually a lot more interesting places that you can visit here. Rangitoto Island is one such place that you would want to see here.

Hi Talita and Ferdi, I love your encounters with the chickens and other animals, so up my street! The many homeless cats & kittens (and dogs) we've just come across in Egypt would have grabbed your attention too! It was so nice to feed two little kitties (secretly) when we were having lunch in a little restaurant in Cairo, as they came to beg when the food arrived on the table. Congrats with the henna treatment, Talita! I wonder how long it will last? Well done with your flax creations, that sounds very interesting and promising! Best wishes and take good care. xxx

Will you ever leave?
I can't believe you guys are still in NZ! Great! And are you ever planning to leave? Any plans of seeing the world cup live back home for instance?

Hey F&T, You are right about the Robin, it is vibrating the ground to get the insects to come up, we saw it a lot on Tiritiri Matangi. Do you plan to paddle from Wenderholm to Puhoi? Its a paddle we'd like to do, picking the right tide of course, stopping for lunch at the Puhoi pub before kayaking back down the river.

Great weekend!
Hi Ferdi & Talita, It was great meeting you guys too - thanks again for the ride up to Whangarei! Great dolphin shots :-)

Spectacular place, pics and just everything! Still miss you in edit though :( @ Postmasters this week .... Looks so wonderful and cannot believe 444 have come and gone. Liam is 7 can you believe it???? Sending LOL Sonia xxxx

thank you for the inspiration
Ferdi and Talita Hi guys, im so happy to read that you are doing well. I know i havent responded ever, but i have been living vicariously through your entries, sometimes dreaming entire trips with my girlfriend. Your faith is astounding, and the fact that you are still out there, living life the way it should be lived...wow. We did another Survivor late last year, this time in Mozambique. It was pretty cool, as it was my first trip outside of the city for a long while. I started doing a lot of hiking, especially on the island, but it was tiny, nothing like the mountain you climbed in Malaysia Ferdi. :-) Anyway, just wanted to say thank you so much for the inspiration. On a bad day in the concrete jungle i look forward to your blogg to remind me what it should all be about. Happy belated b-day Talita lots of love and blessings - you guys rock:-)

Happy Birthday Talita
Hello daar, Baie geluk Talita met jou verjaardag op 28 Maart 2010 ... dis nou al jou 2de verjaardag weg vd huis af. Jou pa het vandag julle kar laat was, die wiele gepomp en battery laat laai deur hom vir n spin te vat ... die kar is nog in n baie goeie kondisie en wag vir julle. Julle weet seker dat Laurike die Cape Epic in die Kaap ry saam met Oom Hentie en Hendrik. Dis altesaam 8 dae se ry en 722km in baie rowwe terrein ... enkel paadjies en tussen dennenaalde rof, rof!!! Laurike en Hannes , haar vriend was saam in n span en Hentie en Hendrik, die ander span. Laurike-hul was meer as n uur voor Hentie, maar toe word Hannes siek en Laurike moes toe alleen by Hendrik-hulle aansluit. Petra het laat weet dat sy party dae sat was, maar hulle 3 byt vas en sal dv more klaarmaak!!! Sy wil vlge jaar die Ysterman doen. Ek dink die Otter-roete het haar tuff gemaak. Bak maar vir jouself n lekker koek met 28 kersies op. Baaaaaaaaaaie liefde en drukke, Ma en Pa

So glad you are here for longer! Let us know if you need a "home" address. Karen
