„Neuseeland wird überschätzt!" – Autsch! Dabei ist Weidling ein Fan der Region. Allerdings mehr von Australien als von Neuseeland. Auch mehr von Hawaii als von Tahiti. Er war enttäuscht, in Tahiti keinen blumigen Einreisestempel zu bekommen, weil es nüchternes EU-Außengebiet ist. Er hat als bekennender USA-Skeptiker seinen Aufenthalt in Hawaii mehrfach verlängert. Aber warum? Ein Buch voller Überraschungen und Gefühle. Sie werden schmunzeln,...

Warning: do not buy this book if all you want is a boring travel guide. Buy it only if you are interested in personal reflections and observations, mostly sane but some completely insane, history, and the odd poem for good measure, put together in 2022 in the post Covid lockdown era when I travelled from Port Albert to the tip of Cape York and back; about as far south to north as you can get on the Australian mainland.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Australia is a difficult country to keep track of. We rarely pay attention to them, and this is strange considering they are a country that doesn't misbehave and is peaceful and good. #2 Because we know so little about Australia, it is a country that is worth getting to know. It is the only country that began as a prison, and the only one that is also a continent. #3...

It has always been my dream to live on a tropical island and after spending years in dull gray county buildings, I decided to take off and live my dream. So now, I sit on the sand leaning against a long lean palm and looking into the clearest bluest water I've ever seen. Two herons, one black, one white, skim over the water looking for fish and near the horizon, more dreams, a freighter going by.
