Te Anau

Finally, the sheep. They're everywhere! Might have got one good pic of them from the bus. Deer farms all over too. Fall comes earlier here on the south island. I've already seen several trees that have changed all or part of their coloring. And I ... Read more >

Queenstown

NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 27 Feb 2014 | Views [331]

The mountains changed again on the way to Queenstown. They became much rockier and their sides looked scratched and beaten up. Upon arrival in Queenstown, I'm greeted by a beautiful long lake, Lake Wakatipu,  bigger and less calm than the one ... Read more >

Wanaka

NEW ZEALAND | Tuesday, 25 Feb 2014 | Views [379]

Wanaka, pronounced WAH-naka, is a beautiful, quiet place with a gorgeous view from the hostel. What a lake! I feel a bit scattered, but it's okay, this town is slow and peaceful. Perfect! Tuesday night, I had a lovely Thai red curry - vegetarian. ... Read more >

Journey to Franz Josef Glacier

Nelson to Franz Josef Nelson was so lovely and quiet this morning as I walked though it. Wish I could have stayed longer. I saw a rainbow at Nelson beach from the bus on the way out of town. A nice omen, I think. I also saw a paddle boarder and a ... Read more >

This morning, Marcia took the kids to pick up her husband Bob at the airport in Nelson.  I stayed behind and enjoyed a delightful quiet morning on the deck of our little cottage at Abel Tasman Stables.  A beautiful morning. I got a shot of ... Read more >

Journey to the South Island

NEW ZEALAND | Sunday, 23 Feb 2014 | Views [341]

Friday From New Plymouth to Wellington, wide flat plains with the mountains in the distance. And hedge rows, they're everywhere. We stayed just outside Wellington at Moana Lodge. It was awesome. Wish I could have stayed longer. Just the most lovely ... Read more >

A short break: Marcia's Place in New Plymouth

NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 20 Feb 2014 | Views [332]

Marcia's home was wonderful. An old farmhouse renovated into a five star home, like something out of a design show on tv. Long panel curtains in every room and big open spaces, all well thought out, relaxed and practical but with a special eye for ... Read more >


Traveling with Marcia, Mick and Maggie

NEW ZEALAND | Wednesday, 19 Feb 2014 | Views [416] | Comments [1]

It's been a whirlwind of a week. I met up with Marcia last Thursday. How wonderful to see her again. Little Mick is twice the size since I saw him last, and quite the contrarian so far. You say yes, he says no. But he's two so that's not unusual. ... Read more >

First Impressions of New Zealand

NEW ZEALAND | Tuesday, 11 Feb 2014 | Views [455]

Landing in Auckland was an amazing sight. I don't recall ever landing in such a beautiful place. It was all a bit surreal and disorienting to have finally arrived at my first destination: New Zealand. The glittering water and green rolling hills looked ... Read more >
