From South to North

While Sean was still playing catch up after being left behind in Queenstown, Karl and Dan, after a short recovering night in Christchurch, left for Kaikoura. Kaikoura is a very windy and sleepy town with very little to do but drink. And so, Karl and Dan headed for the local pub for some...

A Knock Down, But Not Out

While enjoying a quick dip in Spa Park back in Taupo, our van was broke into and we lost some important things- phone, Jen's passport, credit cards, mp3 player, and Jen's toiletries. Admittedly, we were lax and left things in plain view (and didn't notice one window wasn't latched). We learned...

Farewell to Belmont - Night 81

The second nice day in a row. To celebrate I took my final hike to Belmont Park. I’ve been there so often it has begun to feel like my backyard, yet the place is so big I’ve never done the same hike twice. I will definitely miss the prickly gorse forests and dogging sheep shit with every step....

Winding Down - Night 80

Tying up loose ends. That is how I would describe my day. Fighting to understand the receptionist at the Rutherford YHA ( I think I have two nights and transportation to and from the Nydia track booked), paying one last shopping visit to the Queensgate mall, cleaning my room, washing my...

All Hands on Deck - Night 79

The inter holiday period is a tough time to arrange volunteer projects as most of the coordinators of the local projects are unavailable. As such, our calendar was again blank for this cold and windy Friday. Once the rain cleared, Terry took us out on the Sentinel for an afternoon sail around...

Back to Work at Eastbourne - Night 78

If, in a fit of literary flair, I were to assign some decidedly anthropomorphic qualities to the weather in Wellington, I would have to say she was a woman…and a difficult one at that. She changes moods so frequently here that between taking off and putting back on of coats, applying and...

Boxing Day - Night 77

Today was Boxing, a National Holiday, so once again we had the day off from volunteering. I spent the sunny morning hiking the Hutt River Trail, a flat walk along the levees. Around noon the weather turned sour again, to the point of even bringing a bit of hail in the afternoon. The remainder...

Christmas in Kiwiland - Night 76

Christmas morning brought an absolute downpour. After everyone awoke and shook off their hangovers, we continued to open the remaining presents. Our Christmas morning movie was The Shawshank Redemption, an interesting choice for the day. The rain continued unabated and threatened to cancel...

Will the Real Cape Palliser Please Stand Up - Night 75

The windy, rainy weather doomed our sailing plans for the day. To compensate for our cancelled plans, we drove the two hours out to Cape Palliser to perform another seal count. At this point, I must confess to you, dear reader, that I have lied. Last week I errantly stated that we had done a...
