Peace, love and rainbows

I'll warn you before you read on: this one is about rainbows, animal love and the new Woodstock. We've become gypsies with hippy minds. We might look like normal backpackers hidden under a thick layer of dust and sun screen. But on the inside we are little girls, without any responsibilities, without life plans, but with the biggest smiles and a love for rainbows that's hard to explain. So you can imagine our ecstatic happiness when we were cruising on a boat along Milford Sound and witnessed A DOUBLE RAINBOW. Best day of my life.

We saw seals as well! Usually I'm not the biggest animal fan, but these guys were just so cool. Enjoying their lazy lives on a rock. Being all slimy and awesome. Like huge naked snails. Afterwards, when we traveled on the East Coast, we saw yellow eyed penguins and I decided to become an animal friend. And penguins are my bffs.

More on the hippy side of life, we went to a party in Queenstown (we went to a lot of parties in Queenstown) called Worldstock. Exactly, a tiny version of Woodstock in the World Bar. Dressed up like proper hippies (picnic blanket used as a skirt and eyeliner all over the place) we danced barefoot to live music. The place was covered in grass, long haired wigs and psychedelic decoration. We felt at home right away.

Head over heels

Let me tell you about my head. It's been pretty much everywhere the last couple of days. In the clouds, near snowy mountain tops, under water, speaking Spanish, on a boat, enjoying the sun, posing in front of waterfalls and definately over heels with New Zealand.

We've taken our car Boris for a drive through the clouds. It was like sitting in an airplane, only with vans full of tourists flying next to you. We went road tripping to Milford Sound together with the guys from Chile in their Spanish 'camperban'. When we arrived, we jumped on a boat like only awesome tourists do. And as the true Japanese mountain lovers we are, we took three hundred million photos. Not exaggerating.
