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...

How To Relax In Queenstown

So apparently Queenstown isn't all about jumping off stuff or out of things. No, really, it's possible to visit to NZ's adventure capital and leave with your adrenalin levels at a level your heart doctor would approve of and your internal organs where you left them. My best mate in Auckland,...
