Pain In Upper Left Arm



missing little, we kids, the days begin to count the impressive Sydney is the latest Aussie horizon that we will see before going back!
We left Byron Bay with the sun that has kept us company for the last week we spent together before the New Zealand.
past few hours trying to put out new sounds from our didgeridoo, a couple of dinners with local friends, a last festoons and we are ready to greet and meet again in Sydney. The
Saturday morning shows now quite terrible, not many hours of sleep and a bit '"scratched" from the night before Michael jumps on the bus that brings you directly to the Intenational Airport Brisbane! Since the flight on Saturday and Byron not one of the main places I arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon at the airport and left for Auckland at 5:50 am. Sixteen hours of long wait but believe me it is absolutely worth it.

landed about ten o'clock in the morning, problems are now presented, but nothing so disturbing my didgeridoo was left at customs because it is hand made of wood and had to be chemically treated with the spray before starting the journey through New Zealand! The hard work should be done in a week, which obviously did not have time, but fortunately the kindness of the Kiwis (New Zealanders as they are called) has allowed me to get it done in two days!
Fortunately better so there could have been because we stayed two days at the home of Tracey, a friend who had met Jenni in Spain, which has scarrozza around the city and delighted with good New Zealand wine. It was time to go south! Direction Rotorua ..
Uploaded the instrument on the van we had rented, begin to march miles and now we realize what
Aotearoa (New Zealand Maori) is completely different from Australia. In fact, after three hours drive we arrive in a town along the coast where we stopped to camp along the night and reach the beautiful Rotorua in the morning. Wake up early, we enter the town under a hail sincerely that there was a lot of smile, but fortunately and surprisingly, since the spring season, was the only one in more than twenty days!
Maori influence is much stronger in the island there is the north and Rotorua ntro its culture, so between stinky sulfur smoke that kept us company throughout the day, we visited a traditional Maori village flanked by a natural spring thermal water sprays with steam up to twenty five meters ... so here's the smell!

Followed by a guide throughout the day we started with a very beautiful traditional dance and continued along the paths of the village up to the wonderful geyser "Pohutu" (see picture).
incredible and definitely very interesting their history which takes us well in the local museum. The
giornat step and the next stop was only a couple of hours away and then we jump on the moving van towards Taupo and its imm enso lake.
arrived in the city realize that it was not really that great but I'm also a bit 'more to the south is the Tongariro National Park a must for the hiking that we had set ourselves and we did. Six hours
walk through a scenario recently. ... ... The kingdom of evil Mordor in "The Lord of the Rings" (see picture above).
With a fully equipped van we spent the nights sleeping in places where the temperature was below freezing. Next
stage, Wellington.
The capital city, is definitely one that I liked more, but unfortunately we have spent only two days, Saturday morning, the ferry would take us south of the island ... and who loses!
Follow the advice of John, a dear person in our first days in New Zealand had shown us the best places to visit, we head to the West Coast destination, the Franz Joseph Glacier (see picture), Fox, the pancake rocks and the incredible scenery of the coastal road.
This week was definitely the most intense and probably the most beautiful hikes in the range of scenarios that one day, but st eramente made me hold my breath.
then departed from Picton Punakaiki we went through and its unique in the world, layered rocks pancake rocks "(see picture), Hokitika and its jewels until you get to Wanaka country skiers and riders!
Accompanied by guides well-prepared we sent for half a day in the blue ice of Franz Joseph glacier, one of the lowest sea level in the world, just 250 Mt and then we traveled on our own paths in the forest until you reach a very unique cave (seepicture). Queenstown 'most southerly,
is the kingdom of adrenaline, if you want to do bungee jumping, go to 100 per hour with a speed boat in a river or that you want to let it get him, go there! We have limited m at more than satisfied by a beautiful and sunny day of snowboarding ... so handsome, and what I needed to do a little 'is snow!
After three days in the friendly country and we head straight to Christchurch organizing course of the stops a must as the city of Dunedin, and his likeable Omaru penguins (remember those mini Phillip Island) and Timaru, but only for a healthy dip in the pool public!
The historic and beautiful town has kept us busy for these last four days that we detached before the departure of Jenni to Chile and then straight back home in Finland! I
however, are coming ... ...
Sydney And Ale what has combined these three weeks?
After saying goodbye to Michael and his face slammed spending an afternoon on the beach with some friends
(pictured), nice surprise was the arrival of the market in Byron Bay . Peculiarity, besides the fact that alternate weekly in three different towns, is the famous drum session!
E 'was impossible not to enter the circle of drums to make two jumps in the company of old hippies and certainly the best way to spend the last day to the guys at Arts Factory!
Byron-Sydney pulled a whole and the area of \u200b\u200bKings Kross was my first home .... Sydney is beautiful But you need the umbrella! The first week was certainly not characterized by
good weather but the new and old friends meet again they made me spend more than happily ... Do you remember the good old Johnny in Melbourne?? He was just one of the people I wanted to further review and as usual was great willingness and help in showing me the city and introduce new people!
Sydney is crowded, fast and competitive, but offers visitors and also an incredible choice of nice places and entertainment, open 24 hours has a climate slightly cold in winter but compensates with a lovely summer! The five days of rain in iziale were fortunately only the last remnant of the winter that left no room in beautiful, sunny day, nothing better for a tourist with a lot of time to:) In a few days, in addition to have finally reset of my lessons Thai boxing, I had already walked the streets of the alternative New Town, the area of \u200b\u200bItalian Lycard and restaurants, strategy, fashionable Bondi Beach, Coogee beach (see pict), China Town And there is not a beautiful ferry ride to Manly beach! This in addition to being the place to celebrate the 46th birthday of Johnny (he's young at heart!) Is the place where I spent renewing my six days a home that later became a surf school. Take the ferry every morning and go in front of Sydney Harbour and Opera House is a great experience and certainly not by all day (picture on left).
The hostel shoulder Kings Kross was replaced within a couple of weeks of a pretty little house, complete with a garden at the back, in the beautiful New Town area (pictured right), and luckily the housemates are all good guys! The couple Senna and Mikael from Sweden, Tim and Sara from England and from Sweden Rino red hair and roommate.
After a super-private party with all Australian ta nt of consoles in the living room (see picture) and a pair of swimming at the beach, worthy of note was the exit door to the outside Dharug National Park north of the city.
The idea was nice to Nancy, a girl from Sydney who after having housed in an old house rather isolated in the middle of the green (see picture) in the picturesque village of Wisemen Ferry, took me on the day next to make a beautiful walk between ib Oschi and valleys of the area following the footsteps of early pioneers. Thanks Nancy!
Great event 'was in over my first time at the hairdresser in 11 months! The only reason we went to them 'cause my friend Dave (I know it sounds a bit' gay .... well, you'!!!) and did not let me pay:)
Bello was handsome Barbeque to welcome the incoming Michele from New Zealand! Beautiful beautiful the other 200 that we have done in recent weeks! And well .. after almost three months of vacation you want to get to work now ????!!!!
the next two weeks there is a planned visit to Mount Blue
Ainsi, a walk along the coast and a show at the Opera House, for the rest great chill out before departure!
From October 26 we will be back home where he tried 'll see to update the blog with the latest details, but before this we would ask a pleasure that probably takes less than one minute. We never had a chance to know how many people have followed us during our journey and for that reason we would ask you also to send a blank mail to this address :
bombeaicanguri@gmail.com
Thank you for your time and ... .. see you soon!!
