Hi everyone, Well after an 11 hour flight on Thursday we arrived in Chile five hours before we had left New Zealand. Yes, we know we keep going on about it but we are confused, and so are our bodies! Going back in time by 16 hours will be the greatest ... Read more >

Hi everyone, We finally made it to the North Island! After the Mediterranean-like Abel Tasman National park, we made it up as far as Golden Bay on the far Northern shores of the South Island, where we stayed in a nice little hippyish town called Takaka, ... Read more >

'Kia Ora' (hello, wassup in Kiwi) from week 2 on the road in New Zealand. We're half-way around the South Island now - and still absolutely loving it. Having extended our time in NZ yet again (we're now staying 5 weeks) we've just over 1000 miles ... Read more >

NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 24 Apr 2008 | Views [5637] | Comments [3]

Hi everyone, We've been in New Zealand for a week now and have decided the locals are really rude. They've got all this fantastic scenery and yet they keep it all to themselves! Outrageous. They could at least donate a few mountain ranges and ... Read more >

Hi everyone, We’ve had a great week in mellow Melbourne, home of Australian cricket, tennis, trams and of course, Madge and wobbly Harold W. Bishop* from neighbours. *** Special bonus fact #1 – Harold Bishop’s middle name was Wayne ... Read more >
