Australia, finally!

Thursday, 1 Apr 2010 | Views [531]

4/2/2010 12:10 AM Well.  Ha.  It has been a very fun past few days, but there have still been a few timing issues that have stuck with us.  I’ll recap chronologically, from when I left off on Tuesday, 3/30... We spent the rest of the day on the streets ... Read more >


Sydney, beneath clouds and rain

Tuesday, 30 Mar 2010 | Views [575]

3/30/2010 2:11 PM Wow … holy crap this has been a process getting all of our trip booked and figured out.  We’ve done some sightseeing stuff in Melb/Sydney, but it seems like all of our time in Oz has been spent at Peterpans Adventure Travel (at least ... Read more >


Penguins, wine, and planning chaos

Saturday, 27 Mar 2010 | Views [397]

3/28/2010 10:00 AM Wow – time is just flying by here in Oz.  Our first two days (yesterday and the day before, not including the night we arrived) were jam packed with stuff, and last night we spent planning out the rest of our time here.  It was a bit ... Read more >

If everyone else jumped off a bridge ... would you?

3/23/2010 2:43 PM I’m getting quite lazy at making these journal updates now --- it’s been three and a half days since the last one --- but I think that’s mainly because not a whole lot has happened in the past few days. On the 20th (our first full ... Read more >

St. Patty's Day, glaciers, and another big city

Friday, 19 Mar 2010 | Views [585]

3/19/2010 7:08 PM It’s been a few days since I’ve been able to write anything down, mainly because our computer broke.  Lame!  Not quite sure what happened, but it worked fine the morning of the 17th, and then by nighttime, the screen was cracked.  Luckily, ... Read more >

Amazing Abel Tasman

Tuesday, 16 Mar 2010 | Views [476]

3/17/2010 8:22 AM Abel Tasman was well worth the effort to get there.  We got up at 5:15am, and were out of Picton by 5:40.  We asked about a dozen people how long it would take.  Most responses ranged from 2:30 to 3:30, but the retard feminist hippie ... Read more >

Wine, wine and more wine

Monday, 15 Mar 2010 | Views [362]

3/15/2010 10:00 PM We had an early morning this morning to catch our 8:35am ferry to the south island.  It wasn’t that bad, a little bit of rushing (and just a couple alarm snoozes), but we made it work.  The ferry was great.  You’d think that going ... Read more >

Gannets and Wellington

Sunday, 14 Mar 2010 | Views [401]

3/14/2010 8:03 PM Well today was our last (and most likely warmest) day in NZ.  We’re in Wellington right now, but headed to the northern part of the southern island tomorrow (Picton).  And then, it’s 11 days of driving south down New Zealand.  While ... Read more >

Winetasting

Friday, 12 Mar 2010 | Views [336]

3/12/2010 10:01 PM We got up this morning around 8:45.  Our goal was to get a good run in before the wine tour we had planned.  We were planning on doing this run at Ocean Beach (supposedly a really pretty beach in the area), but it was too far away, ... Read more >

From sulfur to wine

Thursday, 11 Mar 2010 | Views [564]

3/11/2010 6:44 PM Right now we’re relaxing at our hostel in Napier, but I still have to fill in what we did yesterday in Rotorua. We started the day reasonably early, getting to the Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland around 9:30am.  The geyser erupts daily ... Read more >

3/10/2010 5:03 PM Right now we’re in our hostel in Rotorua, almost at the end of our jam packed day of thermal activity and Maori stuff.  But I haven’t written anything about yesterday yet … We left our suite in Whitianga in the early morning, and ... Read more >

3/8/2010 11:09 PM Well last night was pretty interesting.  Jess and I got into bed around 11pm to get a good night sleep for today’s early drive out of Auckland.  Just as we crawled into bed, I turned to close the window, and noticed that crack-whore ... Read more >

Waitakere and back to Auckland

Sunday, 7 Mar 2010 | Views [346]

3/7/2010 9:04 PM Sadly, we left Paihia this morning.  If we ever come back to New Zealand, we’re definitely coming back to that town.  So beautiful.  However, we have tons to look forward to on this trip, so no worries.  The drive to Waitakere Ranges ... Read more >

Sailing the Bay of Islands

Saturday, 6 Mar 2010 | Views [407]

3/6/2010 9:59 PM The stay in the hostel was nice.  Jess and I got to bed by 11, and had a solid 9 hours of sleep.  It was very refreshing.  We made it to the kitchen in time for a quick breakfast, and then off to the boat for a day of sailing through ... Read more >
