My last goodbye to New Zealand!!! ) =
I spent the last few days in beautiful Christchurch, whale watching in Kaikoura (i'll put some pictures in soon) - i saw 2 huge sperm whales and dolphins and seals!!!
The last 2 days I was in Wellington visiting Anschi and Melli again. It was so much fun and really nice and Anschi and I talked and talked until the early morning hours - gell Anschi?!?! ( =
Yesterday I nearly got a heart attack because the Intercity bus going to Auckland was full!!! (and they only have 1 (!!!) bus a day between Wellington and Auckland ) - that would be like there would be 1 bus a day between Woergl and Vienna and no train!!!)
That's so typical New Zealand, it seems they still live 50 years behind the rest of the world... *sorry new zealanders!*
But luckily I could still get a cheap flight and now I'm already in Auckland and in a few hours I'll go to back to the Airport and fly to....

LOS ANGELES!!!

I'm so excited, and I'm so much looking forward to seeing Christiane in 3 (!!!) days - we haven't seen each other for 11 months! *ahhhhhhhhh*
Lots of hugs and I write you soon from the U.S.!!! *uiui*

Stephanie

hello to my beloved ones ( ;
freezy greets from aoteaora (new zealand)!
it's winter here on the south island, snow is everywhere on the mountains and hills and the skiing season has started...
i enjoyed the beautiful franz joseph and fow glacier, (but unfortunately i got ill and couldn't climb the glaciers, but they were still great!)
i loved exciting queenstown, i did lurging (sommerrodelbahn), skiing (oh you can't imagine how happy i was to finally go skiing... I LOVE SKIING!!!!)and we had deep powder snow and great weather!! i went for a horseride in the lord of the rings scenery in glenorchy, did a trip to the stunning milford sounds, saw dolphins and seals. then i tripped to dunedin, the "scottish" city of new zealand, did a wonderful wildlife tour there where we could see albatrosses (even the babies in the nest), fur seals, sea lions and yellow eyed penguins! wow it was stunning to encounter those fascinating animals from just 1-2m away.
now i'm back in queenstown and tomorrow i'll head in a day trip up to mt. cook, lake tekapo and in the evening i'll arrive in christchurch. then my last two stops will be kaikoura to do some whale watching and after that meet anschi again in wellington!
my new zealand time is nearly over *schnueff*, but i'm looking forward to los angeles (3 days hollywood!!!! orlando bloom, johnny depp and heath ledger ich komme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( = *seufz*)
