" Ein Tag in der Wiege Neuseelands ! "

Waitangi Grounds ist nicht nur für Neuseeländer sondern auch für ausländische Besucher sehr interessant.Unser Maoriguide war sehr fachkundig und freundlich. Anlage mit Museum sehr gut aufgebaut.Man hatte das Gefühl 1840 dabei zu sein als die Verträge zwischen Engländern und Maoris unterschrieben wurden. Der Eintrittspreis ist nicht ganz günstig,aber die sehr gepflegte Anlage mit ihren Exponaten muß erhalten werden!

Super Tagesausflug

Uns hat der Ausflug zu Waitangi Treaty Ground sehr gut gefallen. Wir haben die einstündige Führung um 10 Uhr gewählt mit anschließender Culture Show um 11 Uhr, das hat super gepasst! Die Führung war sehr informativ über die Maori Kultur und die Cultur Show hat einfach nur Spaß gemacht. Im Anschluss kann man sich selbst noch in Ruhe auf dem Gelände, im Giftshop und im Museum umsehen. Mit den Gutscheinen von Bookme war das sogar dann preislich recht günstig und hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Alles in allem ein toller Tag!

Wissen pur

An der Kasse wurde mir empfohlen, an einer späteren als der gebuchten Führung teilzunehmen, weil sich dann gleich die Maori-Aufführung anschließen würde und ich so vorher noch Zeit für erste Informationen im Museum hätte. Das war ein guter Tipp. Die Führung war unterhaltsam und informativ, wir wurden immer wieder einbezogen, um Maori zu lernen. Die kulturelle Darbietung verschaffte einen kleinen Einblick in die Traditionen der Maori. Im Museum selbst las ich mich immer wieder fest. Ich hatte das Gelände um 10.30 Uhr betreten und verließ es um 17.00 Uhr, als es schloss. Das sagt alles!!! Einziger Wermutstropfen: die zu kalt eingestellte Klimaanlage.
