Skydiving - Lake Taupo

Dritter Tag: Nach endlich genuegend Schlaf im YHA Hostel buchten wir unseren Fallschirmsprung. Ich erinnere mich an ein komisches Gefuehl im Bauch als die Ja-Entscheidung fiel und das Kartenlesegeraet meine Kreditkarte mit ca. 250 Dollar belastete (trotzdem sehr guenstig). Bald wurden wir dann...

Tongariro

In Tongariro haben wir dann einen Bus gebucht der uns zum Tongariro Nationalpark gefahren hat. Dort ging es am Fuss des Berges Mt. Doom entlang, wo Frodo, im dritten Teil aus Herr der Ringe, den Ring ins Feuer wirft. Windig und kalt war es. Der Duft von Schwefelseen Stieg uns in die Nase. Nach...

Neuseeland

Ein Monat ist nun um seitdem ich Sydney verlassen habe. Geplantes Flugdatum war der 5.1.2011, doch Pacific Blue liess mich tatsaechlich zwei Mal nicht fliegen, weil etwas mit meinem Reisepass nicht gestimmt hat. Ein simpler Anruf zur Behoerde haette das Problem in 5 Minuten loesen koennen. Doch...

Dreams become Plans

It was a dream to see more of the world, travel to either Europe or South America while we were still fit enough. How to do this on a limited budget? We didn't know but thought when our youngest son Fletch left home we could attempt it....

Trial Post

Well, this is the only blog site that we can find at the moment that we think will get past the Chinese FIrewall. So, even though the set up is pretty hard to work out, this is looking like our best bet.

Sweet as bro!

We were a little dazed and confused at first to be in the big, modern city of Auckland but were overjoyed that we could actually understand people properly. We definitely made the most of our time here (despite lazy travellers telling us Auckland is boring) by venturing round the city (Sky...

Hollywood baby!

On our journeys from Mejico to New Zealand, we had an LA stopover and we decided to use this time wisely....by hitting up Hollywood baby!!! Despite the rain (isn't California supposed to be the sunshine state!?!) we got involved in all the mandatory tourist attractions (Hollywood sign, Walk of...

Ay carumba....its Mehico!!!

We arrived into Mehico with a bit of a bump and felt confused and a little scared by how Western it felt. The town of Tulum was pretty much a holiday strip full of restaurants, bars and souvenir shops and our hostel was full of irritating "gap yahhhhs." The American feel continued up to the next...
