Photo books coming soon…
Well, I have been busy… Not blogging at all for a while and not taking many pictures either. But, Sunday evening is as good as any other days to write a short post. And who knows, I might try to add some stuff every once and a while. I am thinking about a new project,…

Breakfast in Amsterdam
On the first stop of my (delayed) trip I am in Amsterdam. Having breakfast at my favourite cafe Bagels&Beans. Yogurt with 8 superfoods, tea and orange juice – everything for a good start into the day! The weather is cloudy today, but still dry. A lot better than yesterday when it poured down with rain.…

We appologise for the delay…
Actually, I had planned to be on route to the UK by now. However, on Thursday I got confirmation that cobble stones when wet and sandy can be very slippery. I would have prefered not to make this painful discovery falling off my bike! But fortunately nothing is broken. (Except for the bike that apparently…

Auckland
Captain’s log, supplementary. I wanted to add a couple of snapshots from Auckland, even though I have been back in Hamburg for a couple of days now. There were almost too many for a post, but I will post a selection. At the end of my trip, I stayed in Auckland for four days. It…

Leaving Auckland
I’m having a last breakfast/brunch at the diner opposite Skycity, before I will leave for the airport. Checked out already, bags packed (weight yet to be determined) and ready to leave. Well, that’s not entirely correct. I’d love to stay. Another beautiful and sunny day makes parting hard.

I am relaxing, just taking walks in the city exploring cafés and waterfront restaurants. But working on some photos as well. This…

Whangarei Falls
Today was another beautiful and sunny day. It was drizzling a little in the afternoon, but with temperatures around 23C I didn’t even mind getting a little wet. Where did I leave you in my last post? In Coromandel. Well, the drive from Coromandel took me up north past Auckland on the motorway (yes, there’s…

Napier to Coromandel via East Cape
Let me phrase it simply: New Zealand is beautiful! The north island as well as the south island. The scenery is a little different in the north. There are hills and mountains on the north island, too. Of course they may be not as high as the Southern Alps, but still beautiful. My route took…

Wellington to Napier
Today, I have no photo for you. I left Wellington this morning and took the scenic route towards Napier on the east coast of the north island. The clouds hung low over the mountains and for a short bit of the road, I drove through them again. But I cleared up later that morning and…
