Auckland and Melbourne

 After another long flight I arrived in New Zealand...

 ...where i was SO happy to see a GREEN and relaxed environment. I always thought that I was a city person and i still think so, but after 4 weeks of city city city, nature was very welcome :)

The first day it rained, but day 2 was much better, with a lot of sun (today and yesterday it was raining like it was never ever ever going to stop, but luckily these were my 'i'm-not-going-to-do-a-thing-days' so i didn't mind, it was actually quite relaxed to hear the raindrops on the roof).

Westcoast of the north Island with black sand.

Pizza from a famous pizza place where the pizza is prepared in a woodfired heated oven to precisely 800ºC for exactly 90 seconds.

Event organized by The Council of Auckland, where Marieke works.

The Giant Theremin

City of Melbourne’s Giant Theremin is a super-sized musical instrument standing more than seven metres tall, controlled by movement rather than touch and can be played by up to eight people at once. The theremin’s unique warble will be accompanied by an array of distinctive sounds, making it impossible to resist running, dancing, jumping and forming unusual shapes in the activation zone to create a symphony of movement.
