First Week Down

Thanks to everyone who has sent me a message or comment. Sorry I haven't responded but my internet time is limited to 1-2 hours a day. Because of this I also apologize beforehand about bad spelling, grammar, over abundance of passive verbs, etc. You can let me know if something is really bad....

Roaches at the Pole?

Friday night when I finally approached the place they call Summer Camp, because it's where all of the summer contractors sleep, it was very late and my body felt fatigued from the constant travel, altitude, and cold. The jamesway structures, comprising the small village, houses about 125 people....

At the Southern Most Point on the Globe

Last night I ended up in one of three bars at McMurdo Station. They didn't have Jack Daniels, but had another whiskey called Bushmills which I ordered with Coke. It wasn't until I had downed three that someone pointed out it was an Irish sipping whiskey which one typically drinks straight or on...

Groundhog Flight

Our bus journey from Queenstown to Christchurch took the whole day. The bus driver clearly fancied himself to be a tour guide and kept putting on his microphone to talk to the passengers. His ability to talk incessantly was really impressive but, since his knowledge ''was'' very good too, it was...

What we get up to!

We have been here 3 1/2 months and posted a few entries. I have decided to try some with just text and forego the pictures everytime. I may be more likely to do this that way. We made a list one night at our local ( down the road) pub called the Celtic Arms. The list was topics for blogs. So i...

First kiwi Home

We left the Big Red House on Barbadoes St on a sunny morning early in March with 2 more bags than we arrived with! We were at a loss to expalin the extra "stuff" acquired in only one month and doesn't bode well for when we leave and may need a container at that point! However as I write this...

Facts, Figures & Shrek

Christchurch, our first NZ city. Bodies eased themselves down from the bus after the long trip from Queenstown. The landscape on the way to Ch-ch reminded many of the Cariboo, sans sheep. Sheep, sheep sheep! The hills and paddocks were alive with them, as one well expected would be the...
