Beach trip

Yesterday we went to the beach with the international students. It was three busses full of people. Many Chinese people, the rest mostly Americans or Germans. The place we were heading for was Mount Maunganui, which means something like "big mountain". Not for Austrians ;-)

2 1/2 hours of bus ride to get there. A Chinese girl (who called herself Sissy) wanted that we all will be friends, and so we had to stand up and tell everybody our names, majors, and where we come from. Well..

It was kind of rainy when we came there, but the day turned out to be quite nice. Went up the hill, took pictures, ate falafel, went to the hot water pools, went out of the hot water onto the beach and into the sea, and went back to the hot water pools again. Nice and relaxing. Pictures will follow..
