11. - 24.10. Freeeeezing!!!!
Ok, the last weeks in short:
I was f... cold, nearly like winter and it rained..... aehhhh!!!
Marieke had blisters from their Kayaktour at the weekend and one of them were infected, so she had to go to the doctor, it was nearly a blood infection (??).
What else?
I bought raintrousers (very useful!) and I still waited for the package, which finally arrived on Saturday!
Oh, it was so great, Mum and Dad, I love you!!!!
The kids still can't believe, that Haribo has so much more flavor than the local gummibears ;p
On Sunday (17.10.) we had lunch with Alan, Jeremys mate. He's originally from a village near Weilheim (sorry, I always forget the name ;p) and lives here now since three years. It was very nice. We played Settlers and talked a lot about Bavarian traditions and meals and stuff like that...
We (Marieke, Sophia, Jule, Vera & I) wanted to do the Tongariro crossing, next weekend, but, unfortunately, I twisted my ancle, so I couldn't go with them... I will do it in January or March with Vera together^^
This Monday, I wanted to go climbing. Sophia was ill, but Kira & Jule told me, that they both will be there.... As I reached the hall, I couldn't find them.... Jule txt me, that she's already gone and Kira wrote me back, that she decided not to come, great! I was in such a bad mood, as I came home, it was terrible.... I mean, it is always so much fun and I was dead looking forward to it (can I say it like that??).
Fortunately, I met Marieke, who was out for a walk with two of "her" kids and I went with her. It made me feel so much better! I really don't know, what I would do without her!
This week was a bit different at school, we went to the Parliament (guided tour for 2 $, normally you can go there for free, but we're a school..... Rachel was so cross with them ;p) and Fede didn't show up on Thursday, Rachel couldn't believe it! (He went on holidays ;p) The Parliament guide was nice and the tour was interesting.... I now know, how the building is prepared for earthquakes;p And, funny: they have this stone there, with flags or scarfs from each of the different nations here in NZ. Gues who where the only ones with the right sice of that "flag" ? The Germans ;p The other nations had bigger things hanging there, only the Germans had a small one ;p
Oh, and I tried to make Brezen. They looked like they should, but they didn't taste good, I couldn't figure out why....
Ha, on Sunday (24.10) I finally managed to go to Red Rocks! My ankle was alright again.
The weather didn't look good, here in Wadestown, but it was beautiful as soon as i reached the coast!
I've really seen seals, amazing!!!!
The Rocks are quite fascinating, you go around one corner and the colur of the Rocks has changed from grey to red and afterwards a little bit green, than grey again, really strange, but beautiful!

Story
Once upon a time a little girl flew together with a nice hat and a big rucksack to a place, far, far from home....
On her flight she heard most of the time a beautiful song. She will always remember the feelings she had, the people she thought about and missed and the things, that happened afterwards...
What happened?
She met there many nice people, most of them she'll never forget, but most of all, she met there many, many, many (Markus, guess what??) SHEEP ;p
at first far far away....
... on a hill.
She longed for being closer, so she went to a farm.....
......but it didn't satisfy her enough.
and closest ;p

04.-10.10 tired start with happy ending
Ok, guys, I decided to write in English, or at least to try it.
I beg you pardon mistakes, I'm still practising ;p
And I really want to say sorry to those, who won't understand it, (especially to Oma & Opa, please, could someone help them?)
It's just so difficult to change the language and I really need to stay in English.....
Ok let's start:
Monday was alright, we brought the car back and got a lift into town from the garage guy.
That was quite funny, actually, because he was talking with Marieke, the whole way. Ok, that's not funny, but he had an strong London accent and Marieke was like: "again, please..... could you repeat it..... I didn't get it, sorry...." He repeated everything, just not slower or clearer ;p
Despite this I was really glad to sit in that car, otherwise we would have had to hitchhike.
At school was everything the same, afterwards as well, I ironed.
Oh, something special, I started singing. Yes, you got it right! I haven't done it the whole time since I'm here. Strange, huh? That was when I realized that I didn't felt as comfortable as I thought...... Jeremy was really surprised hearing me singing ;p
Another story: Meyner watched Wise guys music videos with me together and after the second (!!) song she said:"aeehmmm, can't we listen to an English song???? ;p"
Climbing wasn't good this day, I was so tired and had no power, not at all....
I was soooooo damn tired on Tuesday, I even couldn't think about an example sentence for some grammar stuff at school... That's why I slept as soon as I reached home.
Third day of the week, Wednesday:
We had our first writing workshop at school, where we can talk alone with Rachel about our writing, that's pretty good! You don't have to bore someone with your specific questions.
And I was still waiting for the package from home.
Ha, today, I bought my new rucksack at the Kadmanduh outlet, really cool!^^ The only annoying thing is, that everybody knows after three words, that we're from Germany ;p
The evening was the highlight of the day. I had to babysit (no, that's NOT the thing I want to talk about ;p). Guess waht? I called..... ANDREA!!!! YEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHH!!!!! No Skype ;( but talking, i miss it so much!!
Friday happened nothing really interesting, therefore I'm not going to speak about it ;p
Instead of it, Sutterday.
The Sutterday started like a normal weekend day, relaxing, eating, changing weather.
I met Sophia in town, around Lunchtime (the other's went to.... oh no, I forgot about it... ok, it's not important, Sophia and I did a biketour along the coast.
It's dead beautiful there, and it wouldn't be exhausting, if there wouldn't be the wind... It's like cycling up a steep hill, ALL the time!
We wanted to go to the Red Rocks, however, we decided to go back, after we reached the Island Bay.
It was better like that!
Sunday was nice, I went together with my hostfamily to the Eastbourn Beach and we collected shells and even a shark egg!

03.10.10 Way back home....
Ok, alles fertig packen, fruehstuecken und abmarsch!
Oh, wir wollten noch die Kirche besuchen (Maori art mixed with Christian), aber die ist am andern Ende der Stadt..... Ok, ne, lassen wirs...
Hey, habt ihr auf der Karte gesehn, dass der Park, in dem wir waren, gar nicht der, mit den tollen Bubbles ist? Echt?!?!?! Marieke, umdrehn!
Und, wiedermal ein wunderbares Wenden auf den Strassen von Rotorua, auf gehts zum Park und danch doch noch zur Kirche!
Der Park ist halt angelegt, d.h., ueberall sind Zaeune drum rum, aber man sieht, dass die Erde hier shcon arbeitet, teilweise kommt kein Dampf mehr aus manchen Erdloechern, oder andre Sachen sind nur provisorisch abgezaeunt, weil sie noch ganz neu sind..... Hier ham wir dann aber echte, gescheid grosse Blubber-Schlamm-Blasen und schoene dampfende Erdloecher und kochend heisses Pfuetzenwasser gesehn!
Und die Kirche war auch definitiv ihren Beusch wert! Oder, vielmehr der Fleck, an dem sie liegt, am Ufer von nem See, wunderschoen! Rein konnten wir leider nicht, weil wir nicht bedacht hatten, dass Sonntag morgens ja Gottesdienst gefeiert wird.... Naja, ok, dann nicht, auf gehts, noch ein Kaffee und auf zum Vulkan.
Ich hatte super Kopfschmerzen und hab ausserdem gemerkt, dass ich langsam nicht mehr faehig bin, was neues aufzunehmen. Dementsprechend bin ich dann auch an unserm naechsten Zwischenstopp den Pfad mehr langeschlichen und hab mir gedacht:"aha, ok, der Fels da drueben dampft, ja, schoen, und weiter? Gitbs hier nichts beeindruckenderes?" Irgendwann kann man einfach nicht mehr mehr aufnehmen...
Dafuer war ich dann nach ner Zeit schlafen am Ruecksitz wieder einigermassen fit um unsern naechsten Pausentrip zu geniessen: Der Wasserfall bei Taupo.
Wieder super schoene Landschaft, nur leider ne richtige Touristenattraktion, Parkplatz daneben und viele Busse mit Fotogierigen Menschen. Fanden wir bloed. Wollten mehr Ruhe haben. Sind ja auch ca. ne Stunde hingewandert. Man. Ok, typisch Touris: Die Herrschaften waren wirklich nur am Wasserfallaussichtspunkt, wir sind einfach 10 Minuten weiter den Berg rauf, ham uns da unsern eigenen (viel shcoeneren) Aussichtspunkt gesucht, unsern Lunch gegessen und den Ausblick genossen, super!
Und nach dem Rueckweg gabs auch noch eine Runde heisse Quellen baden (fuer Marieke und Sophia, mir hat Fuesse reinhalten gereicht) und, wenn ich schreibe heiss, dann mein ich wirklich heiss^^
Das war aber genau dass, was wir als Pause auf der Fahrt gebraucht haben, erfrischt und wiedermal mit nem Kaffe gings weiter, diesmal ohne langen Stop, auf nach Wellington.
Unsern Dinnersalat gabs auf nem Autorastplatz-Aussichtspunkt und wir habens auch geschafft, auf der Heimfahrt wieder Englisch zu reden, damit die Umstellung nicht allzu schwer faellt.
Und auch auf der Heimfahrt wieder: Man peilt gar nicht, wie schnell die Landschaft hier von gruenen Huegeln mit Schafen und Seen dazwischen zu Wald und dann zu kargen Buescheln wechselt und dann von einer Minute auf die andere ist man wieder zwischen gruenen Huegeln, das ist echt krass!!
Nachm Dinner bin ich dann wieder gefahren und ich habs end genossen, irgendwie haben so 100, 110 km/h doch auch was gemuetliches, man hat Zeit auch mal in den Sonnenuntergang zu schaun und wenn man keinen Stress hat, dann ists echt super....
Jaja, ich merk schon, wie ich mich bisschen der Lebenseinstellung hier anpass.... : )
--> Bestes Wochenende!!!
