Mal wieder ein Update :)

Huch.. schon wieder so viel Zeit vergangen seit dem letzten Post..

Und wir sind auch schon im neuen Jahr angekommen.

Ich hoffe ihr seid alle gut ins neue Jahr gestartet und konntet auch dankbar auf das alte zurückblicken.

Die letzte Zeit war ziemlich gschäftig, aber das ist wohl überall auf der Erde so, wenn Weihnachten bevor steht.

Vor Weihnachten gings erstmal ans East Cape um den Sonnenaufgang und den neuen Tag als aller erste Menschen auf der Welt zu erblicken. Das heißt natürlich früh aufstehen, dann ca. 1 Stunde fahren, in der dunkelheit abenteuerlich einen Berg besteigen, dort oben auf die Sonne warten und feststellen, dass es so nebelig ist, dass man die Sonne nicht sehen wird.. sondern "nur" langsam merkt, dass es ein bisschen heller wird. Sweet as.

Ansonsten haben wir auf diesem Trip die schöne Ostküste von Neuseeland bewundern und genießen können. Alles in allem wars ziemlich gut :)

Asooo Fotos von dem Trip zum East Cape folgen später, weil meine Kamera meinte, sie müsste die Bilder wieder löschen. Sweet.


Dann stand auch schon Weihnachten vor der Tür und damit unser neues Familienmitglied "Bella". Ein Golden Retriever Welpe.. einfach zu süß <3. Auh trotz ein paar "Pannen" war Weihnachten ganz ok.. an Heilig Abend war das Wetter wohl so ziemlich wie in Deutshland.. vielleicht ein paar Grad wärmer aber sonst nur Regen.. und man wird dann doch ein bisschen wehmütig, wenn man nicht mit Freunden und Familie feiern kann..

..und nach Weihnachten gings dann ab in den Flieger und auf zur Südinsel...  und das ommt dann im nächsten Post :)

I love God!

He sends us so many messages that he loves us and reveals his beauty.. daily!

He creates everthing so beautifully.. and that's what he wants to do with your life too. Are you ready for this?

Much blessings, lots of love and kisses to you!

the last weeks

Huiii.... der letzte Eintrag is ja auch schon wieder ein Weilchen her.. oh "falsche" Sprache für diesen Blog..

wow.. the time runs.. it's just like I worte something in this Blog two days ago.. but it's almost 3 weeks..
a few things happend in that time ;)

two (or is it only one??) weeks age I saw my first Maori traditional performance.. oh yeah.. that was so much fun.. we were just sitting and waiting in the museum to be picked up.. when these almost naked Maori came and told us to follow them :D

It was so much fun and interesting to see and hear their dancing and singing.. very good!!

This last weekend we headed off to the Coromandel Peninsula.. and we had such a great time there..
We arrived in Coromandel Town ("Town".. haha it's got only 1700 inhabitants) on friday and had a very funny time in a hostel there.. on saturday we went to the Driving Creek Railway and went for a drive with this little train through the rain and wind^^  after that we had a nice coffee break ;) and we went for a walk into a Kauri forest..
so that was kinda lazy saturday..


So sunday was our highlght :) we went to Hahei and visited the Cathedral Cove.. what a beautiful and nice place to be.. fortunately the weather was so good and the sun was shining so we could enjoy our stay there..
after this great impression we went to the Hot Water Beach.. just a few minutes by car.. and that's really great... you have to dig your own pool in the sand.. just beside the cold pacific ocean.. and you will have your own hot pool.. that was a great adventure ;)
we went to that with 7 other people but only three of us were brave enough to dig a pool and jump in it.. that was good fun.. and after we relaxed in our own "spa" we jumped into the ocean to cool down again.. crazy german girls ;)

Yeah.. so that's it..

almost..

now the two weeks school holidays are over and today was the first day back in school..=)

Much blessings and <3

P.S. the pics will follow in the next post

pics of the lamb ;) and of our Gingerbread People, we made today xD

See ya!

This weekend...

Wooow..
I havn't written for a long time.. I think I have to apologize for that first: SORRY!!

So I just give you a brief overview about the last days..


Yesterday two German AuPairs and I went to Hamilton. We vistited the Hamilton Gardens.. that was ver nice and interessting..

After that we wanted to visit Raglan - a cute, little village. And on our way to Raglan we made a stop at the Bridal Veil Falls.. which were very impressive.

Today was kinda lazy day.. but the highlight was and is our new pet. We've got a 12 months old lamb today, called "Ernie" (like Ernie from Ernie and Bert form the Sesamestreet). And he is sooooo cute and cuddly. I already love him.

So the following pictures will give you a short insight.. and some pics of Ernie will follow tomorrow.

Be blessed <3

Changed plans for the weekend - so I went not to the AuPair Weekend, but had a very good time with my hostfamiliy instead.

Kiwis celebrate Father's Day every year and so we went to my hostdads parents and spent a nice day with them in Katikati.
On the way to Katikati and back home we made a few stops so I could see some "typical Kiwi tourism places".. (you can see it on the pictures below)

Very nice verse for the week ;) :
