I tried to upload this post last night, but unfortunately our Internet connection was down so here it goes. The above picture is taken in Rainbow Springs Nature Park which is a stunning place. It was one of the locations we wanted to visit while we were in New Zealand.
We thought it would be alot bigger. We walked around everything in 45-50 minutes during the day and had quite a close look at everything, read the fact signs. All the touristy things. In the night time it took a few more hours, but just because of all the pictures. Had my whole gear included the tripod and remote. Everywhere you turned they had lit up with different kind of lights. We even got to see some kiwi birds by night, though I didn’t take any pictures. They are a bit shy.
Have a lovely nights sleep you people on the other side of the world. I’m just getting up from bed.

After our zorb-adventure we had planned on going to Rainbow Springs in Rotorua which is a beautiful spot to watch nature. In the tickets you get a 24h access to the park and they have open til 10 pm. From what I have read they light up everything very nicely so you’ll get a whole different experience.
Unfortunately because of the rain, we skipped that and will take it on our way back to Auckland in the end of the trip. What we did instead was to cruise along some small roads until we got to Matamata where Hobbiton lies. We just wanted to have a look at the place since we’d be returning the day after.
In New Zealand they drive wonderful cars. Both new and old ones. Compared to Australia they don’t seem to be as strict on the whole customizing area. The cars here are modified. So when we parked our campervan Bamse I saw this amazing Dodge Charger and just had to take a photo for my friend Lars-Daniel.

Then our journey for a camping ground began. We drove around for probably for hours. Followed some signs, that ended up in this upperclass village. Anyways, that’s what we expect. It is called Karapiro Village. We drove and drove until we came to a road. And that road was named “Luck At Last Road.” We took a picture and turned. Found the campsite but no manager were there and it was quite expensive so we decided to have a wild camp. Again. Great fun though.
