Great Barrier Island

Great Barrier Island is one of the cutest experiences I've had in New Zealand. I flew in on wednesday and took the ferry back on sunday. By then, I knew half the people that were on the boat. I went to visit my friend Stephen, who I met while traveling through Taranaki. Great Barrier has maybe 800 inhabitants, 1 tiny shop, a couple of restaurants and pubs and that's pretty much it. Recently the island has been on tv quite a bit in New Zealand and the UK (BBC) since the programm 'Cast away' was filmed here. (Another survive-vote who is leaving- and that kind of crap programm)

Flying doctorrrrrs!! The plane that took me from Auckland to the island :)

A dolphin seen from the ferry, I don't know what kind

I was supposed to do the Tongariro Crossing this week, but after a 6,5 hours walk on the island I got some kind of foot injury and I can't walk properly. So, I am going back to Coromandel and soak in the spa on the deck :P at Sheps place.
