Perhaps more than any other country, New Zealand was the one i wanted to visit. Yet for all its beauty and dramatic landscapes I've been ready to leave here for a couple of weeks. NZ caters for the backpackers incredibly well - travel, bookings and ... Read more >

I said I'd give Wellington another chance - what were we thinking not to like it last time Tony?! This place is great! I'd needed to use a flight credit somewhere, and I've been rapidly running out of time to use it. To get to New Zealand i had to ... Read more >

They are quite a mouth full for such little places. Seaside villages, just up the coast from Wellington. I'd hoped to go to Kapita island, a 'nature reserve' full of some nice birds - I'm sad i know. It was not to be though, if it wasn't busy i could ... Read more >

Watch the whales, swim with the dolphins, picnic with the seals or catch the tail end of a cyclone and spend a day dodging showers and cowering from the wind. It was REALLY windy. The strange thing is - I'm not that upset. But more of that another time! ... Read more >

I know my sense of direction isn't that good, so I'm not surprised i couldn't find the steepest street or my way to the Otago peninsula. I remember I'm in the southern hemisphere, rotate my head around and it all eventually works out... the peninsula ... Read more >

A record breaking town...allegedly. I've heard so many claims to fame that i take them all now with a pinch of salt. My best claim is joint first place, as overall 'athlete' on a sports day when i was 7. For this impressive achievement i won a gold ... Read more >

It's strange to be back on the road again. Stewart island has been my 'home' for nearly 4 weeks and it's been a year since I've stopped in one place for that long. Adjustment and fitting in become middle names when travelling for so long though. My ... Read more >

Quote: This track is suitable for fit, well equipped and experienced trampers. Mud is widespread and often deep and thick on the track, regardless of the season. Track times are an indication only and extra time should be allowed in adverse conditions.... Read more >

Described as a 3 day moderate to difficult track, this was my chance to get out in the bush and see kiwi's - the brown flightless bird kind i should add. The first walk went quick - the signs give generous times and i had the weather with me, it wasn't ... Read more >

I came to Stewart Island for some quiet time with nature, my books and to catch up on some sleep. So it didn't quite go to plan. New mates, Christmas dinner with some locals, golf lessons from experts, a lovely stay with an Octogenarian (I'm currently ... Read more >

I never thought I'd end up here - I've obviously been a bad boy: riding motorbikes without a licence, speeding, not paying parking tickets, being devilishly handsome (OK that's stetching it) and being very selfish. The month with Tony went very quickly ... Read more >

Christchurch immediately feels great: historical buildings, wide streets and cycle lanes, huge parks, cafes and restaurants, people punting down the river, an amazing botanical garden - it's not named the garden city for nothing. I spend a few days ... Read more >

We'd booked this train journey through the mountains awhile ago. It claims to be one of the most scenic journeys in the world - with the sort of scenery we've gone through in the last few weeks it's not too hard to believe. Our luck seems to have changed ... Read more >
