It's great to be back here in Melbourne and it's almost exactly as I remember it. Pete picked us up from the airport and has been looking after us ever since, bless him. It's so lovely of him to put us up the way he has, but it's also a little strange ... Read more >

Aah.... Finally we can relax. The road to Auckland was surprising and our final evening in the bus wasn't quite as I'd expected. I 'spose it shouldn't have been a surprise to find that the sprawl began over fifty kilometres from the centre of the ... Read more >

Finally, the time has come for us to be on our way. This stage has been pretty special and we've made some great friends who we'll never forget, but I can't wait to get going now. So long Christchurch and goodbye to all the wonderful people we've met.... Read more >

Being on the other side of the world makes it a little tricky to contact everyone individually, so I thought I'd wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope that everyone has a happy new year. It's a pretty odd time for us, and we'll be missing all you ... Read more >

It's been a bit of a busy week and we've been up to some newsworthy stuff in the last few days. Lisa had a significant birthday, and we celebrated by taking a bit of time out to go on some adventures. First we went to see Muse in concert which was ... Read more >

We have moved into a big pink house owned by a man named Kim. Kim's a very nice man and quite tolerant of our vagueness regarding our stay. Erm.. maybe we'll go next week, but we might stay for a coupla months. perhaps.. maybe! We've bought a shonky ... Read more >

We've taken a couple of days out from the job/home search in Christchurch to visit a beautiful little seaside town called Kaikoura. There are loads of residential marine mammals in Kaikoura, because the sea surrounding it is so rich in food, and there's ... Read more >
