Wait!... I've had an idea!

AUSTRALIA | Wednesday, 10 Dec 2008 | Views [429] | Comments [4]

You know, the great thing about having no plan is that the most hair brained idea can become a reality.  So.. yesterday, when I thought 'how about a tour of Tasmania!?'  It felt like a real eureka moment. Not being one to sit on a moment of pure genius ... Read more >

Melbourne re re visited.

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 8 Dec 2008 | Views [484] | Comments [2]

Hello all! Wow, what a journey.  We were delayed by a couple of hours because a lady had a panic attack just as the plane was accelerating.  The cabin crew did an amazing job of looking after her.  Once the lady was put at ease and off the plane, ... Read more >

These are the last remaining photo's on Lisa's camera. It was sad to go through them, but nice to think of all the beautiful things that Lisa saw in her lifetime.

An unexpected ending.

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 25 Oct 2008 | Views [601]

This entry is one which I've no idea how to make.  I'd like to carry on with the blog, but can't do so without some kind of explanation for the abrupt ending of the story 'til now. Perhaps my reasons for writing this part of the story are selfish, but ... Read more >


Melbourne

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 >

Auckland. All's well that ends well.

NEW ZEALAND | Monday, 28 Jan 2008 | Views [2651]

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 >

Penultimate stage. The North island sprint.

NEW ZEALAND | Wednesday, 23 Jan 2008 | Views [552]

It suddenly dawned on me yesterday that we had eight days to go before flying out of here, and then the van broke. We increased our pace as we travelled up the west coast of the south island, and started on a relentless driving frenzy up through the ... Read more >

Road trip stage 2. Lots of places and wide open spaces.

NEW ZEALAND | Monday, 14 Jan 2008 | Views [509]

Well, it's been another busy few days. We've slept next to more lakes, walked through more rainforests to more waterfalls and hidden beaches, got the bus stuck on a beach and over the last few days we've been in a campsite to enjoy the blessing that ... Read more >

Road trip stage 1 Christchurch-Dunedin

NEW ZEALAND | Friday, 4 Jan 2008 | Views [729] | Comments [1]

So, we finally got on our merry way for stage 1 of the road trip and, so far it's been sooo good! we've headed south to Dunedin, but in a rather indirect way.  Rather than tracing the coast, we went inland a bit and took in some beautiful mountainous ... Read more >

Goodbye Christchurch!

NEW ZEALAND | Tuesday, 1 Jan 2008 | Views [514]

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 >

Merry Christmas people!

NEW ZEALAND | Wednesday, 19 Dec 2007 | Views [825] | Comments [1]

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 >

NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 6 Dec 2007 | Views [479]

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 >

Big pink house

NEW ZEALAND | Tuesday, 6 Nov 2007 | Views [3381]

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 >
