Goodbye Kiwi land - a look back...

Hello family and friends... we can't believe it's already been 2 months on the road, but we feel lucky to have jam packed many memorable times into those 2 months and look forward to our upcoming adventures in Australia. Our last few days in New Zealand were a bit anti-climatic, but we did...

Making the most of the last leg of the trip!

Absolutely LOVE New Zealand - the scenery is just stunning...so many bluer than blue lakes, massive mountains, moody looking skies, friendly people, nice cheap food, quiet scenic roads to drive on, architectural buildings, chilled out bars and last but not least...crazy fun stuff to do! (see...

Newsflash: Trampers now back on pavement

Holy hotdogs... it's been over 2 weeks since our last blog! We've been on the trail and off the trail and then back on and now we find ourselves in Christchurch, preparing ourselves for our Feb. 12th flight to Sydney, Australia. It is with sadness and relief that we clean Lucy up, pack up our...

Last Night in New Zealand - Night 116

My last day in New Zealand and a gorgeous one at that; mid 80s and not a cloud in the sky. I walked down to Hagley Park, a massive collection of soccer fields, botanical gardens, tennis courts, a golf course and numerous other playfields. Quite luckily I stumbled upon the World Croquet...

Al's Bar - Night 115

Honestly, I didn’t do a whole lot today. The morning was spent updating journal entries and trying to get photos to upload to the internet. I’ll be very happy once I’m back in Australia where the web operates at above phone modem speeds. In the afternoon I wandered down to the Canterbury...

New Brighton Beach - Night 114

Finally February. January was one of the longest and shortest months of my life. At times I forgot what day of the week it was and days passed by in seconds, other afternoons seemed to drag on for weeks. Unencumbered by duties and appointments, by meetings and deadlines, by any semblance of...

Terra Antarcticus - Night 113

I slept deep and late despite the apparent seizure the kid in the bunk above me had at numerous occasions throughout the night (I awoke briefly as the bunk shook like a washing machine a few times, but fell immediately back to sleep). After this trip is over, I am certainly I’ll likely slumber...

Onwards to Christchurch - Night 112

Overnight the clouds had rolled in, making today ideal for riding a bus. Leaving Tekapo around 9am, we made Christchurch by 1pm and after a brief city tour I was all checked into the Stonehurst Accommodation by 2. Two of my roommates at Stonehurst are from the Yukon, that small, triangular...

World tour half-way point celebration

We flew into Christchurch, booked ourselves onto the Kiwi Experience bus for two days later and spent the rest of the day exploring the city (which is essentially a nice English town). As it was the halfway point of our six months of travelling the world, and the hostel bar was serving double...

Journeys on the South Island

Our first night on the South Island was spent in a real dump of a campsite in a place called Blenheim, about ½ hour south from where the ferry landed. We had a train track about 20 metres away from our van and the site itself looked a bit like Glastonbury festival on a rainy year. Fighting our...
