succsess....

Finally everything is slowly working out. After 2,5 months studding, writing applications and a lot of waiting I received the OK. Everything ia approved and accepted. So I just need to WAIT another 8 to 20 days to hold my proper licence card.
This licence allows me to transport passengers and driving vehicles up to 18 tonnes. Because of this I got the perfect winter job. Driving for Alpine Coach Lines I will serve the Skifields around Wanaka. Starting at 7.30am driving till 9.30am. Then freetime on the skifield till 3.45pm and finishing after drop off and cleaning the bus at around 6pm. Good payed and in addition I get a free day lift pass for the fild I am servicing.
The picture below is the bus we used for your training day at Cardrona.

But this is not all the good stuff about this week.
Yesterday we finaly moved into our new home. 3 French, 1 Irish, 1 English guy and I renting a nice upper class house. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and heaps os space with a nice kitchen. Check out the pictures below. Proberbly the best Backpacker home in Wanaka ;-) maps.google
The town center is 20 minutes by walk and my bus is parked 5 minutes by walk. So I don't realy need my car. Just shopping is easiyer.

All Blacks vs France

last Saturday, the 13.06.2009 Guillaume and I went to Dunedin to meet Rike. We had some tickets for the Rugby Match All Blacks vs France.


The Stadium is much smaller than your European once. So you seating really close to the field. We hat seats in row 'EE' and it was a realy god view.


I don't know much about rugby. At least not about Field Rugby. But you could see that the first 20 Minutes France was playing against a group of singles and not against a team. As well they lost balls and couldn't catch proper.


For some fun a supporter was running over the field. To catch some more attention he should run naked :-) The security taggeld him in rugby style and arrested him.

A awesome experience you should not miss when visiting New Zealand. A pity that the All Blacks faced the wrong direction during the Haka. You can't just have every thing...


Finely they ended up 22:27 for France. France deserved the it. Over all they played the better game. But Next Saturday the 20th June they have the second chance. Once again All Blacks vs France in Wellingten. I'll watch this in a Pub in Wanaka which is I guess another great atmosphere.

Go All Blacks !!!
