The Sounds

AUSTRALIA | Wednesday, 1 Jun 2011 | Views [235]

Just a quick one today.  Based in Te Anau for the last couple of days and have been tripping over to Milford and Doubtful sounds.  The drive to Milford was awesome, there are going to be lots of nice scenic photos for you all (hahaha).  Shocking weather ... Read more >


The very south

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 29 May 2011 | Views [255]

So we have made it right down the very south but before I get into what we have we been up to for the last couple of days I will address the few comments that I have been receiving of late. After a conversation with my parent over skype they noted ... Read more >


Going down South

AUSTRALIA | Thursday, 26 May 2011 | Views [378]

So we are finally here after spending 2 riverting nights in Wellington (aka one of the most boring places I have been to - I really did not like it) we have now arrived at the South Island.  I guess I am being a bit harsh on Wellington, we did go up ... Read more >


Wellywood

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 23 May 2011 | Views [256]

We have now made it down to Wellington where interestingly enough they are hotly debating erecting a sign on its famous mount Victoria entitled "Wellywood".  As you can imagine the locals do not like this, apparently like most tiny cities ... Read more >


It's been an exciting 48 hours

NEW ZEALAND | Friday, 20 May 2011 | Views [404]

After easing into the trip it has been an exciting 48 hours.  Firstly I have managed to stay up beyond the normal baby sleeping time and I managed to go to bed around 9.30 over the last two nights.   Not since I was allowed to sty up and watch the A-... Read more >

Picked up the van - all good except for the fact that as I went for the cheapest option we have no power or heating.  Our first night was spent cuddling up to a hot water bottle (thanks Su).  Our first night of camping was spent going to bed at 7pm, ... Read more >


Auckland

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 16 May 2011 | Views [282] | Comments [1]

Finally got here safely - although the flight was a bit stressful as you can imagine.  No airline food for me! After turning up and realising that we did not have a clue where we were staying- this is the second time for us, we managed to eventually ... Read more >


Hangover III

The Move

AUSTRALIA | Saturday, 14 May 2011 | Views [227]

To put it into perspective, we live in a 2 bedroom flat, don't really own too many assets, so why, when 3 of the biggest men alive came round to pack our stuff at 8am, did I finally hand back the keys at 9.30pm.  I suppose I could see it coming as G-... Read more >
