So who in their right mind adds several hundred km's of driving to their journey just so they can visit Starbucks!? When Tony heard that the one in Invercargill was the worlds most Southern Starbucks his eyes lit up. He was willing to get on a bus and ... Read more >

Tony is sat opposite me hogging an atlas I've just borrowed as we enjoy the last couple of hours of an overnight Doubtful sound cruise. Ben our nature guide is telling us to join the 'real' world by putting down our cameras, switching off our mobile phones ... Read more >

Tony booked this Great Walk months ago - it was the only way the we could guarantee a walk in this area. Milford Sound is just too popular. Our early planning hadn't gone so far as to work out transportation for the beginning and the end of the track, ... Read more >

Well - Wanaka, Queenstown and Te Anau. The drive to Wanaka is one of the best I've ever done - simply spectacular. I love the little town too - mountain vistas and a huge lake. Queenstown is the adrenaline junkies centre of NZ. Bungee, skydiving, ... Read more >

Golden Bay, Greymouth, glaciers, and great big blobs of bird poo on my head. That makes 5 times now: birds 3, bats 2, Shane 0 - we were sat outside, enjoying a well deserved cup of coffee. The ironic thing is that Tony had offered me his seat due to ... Read more >

Another gorgeous sunny day and another of the amazing great walks - a coastal path through bush forest, past golden beaches and blue bays. I'm running out of adjectives and superlatives. We travel from Nelson in the morning, park our car to leave overnight ... Read more >

We bid goodbye to our friendly Fawlty Towers, after they have of course 'accidentally' overcharged us and 'accidentally' tried to rip us off. We have a long way to drive today. I say we - I'm doing the driving and Tony is playing the music and navigating.... Read more >

It's another long drive through amazing scenery, while listening to great music and partaking in our favourite past time of taking the p out of each other. Lake why have a banana (our only way of remembering it) or Lake W as I'll call it, is another ... Read more >

The northern circuit is one of the 9 great walks of NZ. A 4 day trek past stunning volcanic peaks (Mt Doom from LOR's), azure blue lakes, sulphurous hot springs and knackered fellow trekkers. I'll ignore the fact that my fellow trekkers are nearly ... Read more >

Mud pools, geysers, glow worms, hot spa's and the Maori cultural centre of NZ - of course i wanted to come here. Coming here takes us through jaw dropping scenery that makes me realise England is just a little bit green, but not very much really. The ... Read more >

I'll stick by my original impression of Auckland, it doesn't hold up well to expectations when you first step off the plane. I now realise there are a lot of really nice parts around the centre - Devonport for example is just delightful. Huge parks, ... Read more >

Did you know that Poor Knights Island, a marine park just off the east coast of the top of the north island, has some of the best diving in the world? Jacques Cousteau apparently believed it to be the case, and of course whether or not that's true, it ... Read more >
