Meandering to Taupo - Night 49

The Magic bus departed promptly at 9 am this morning. Our final destination for the day was Taupo, only 100 kilometers to the south. We would, however, not arrive until the middle of the afternoon, as many ancillary activities were on the schedule for the day. The first stop was the Lady Knox...

Rafting the Kaituna - Night 48

I was wrong about the severity of the sulphurous smell. Upon opening the door to the hallway this morning I was instantly hit with a whiff of that unmistakably aroma of rotten eggs. I guess the wind had changed and the odor was blowing straight into town. Being a glutton for the obscene and...

Waitamo and Rotorua - Night 47

I awoke and went for a jog at what I thought was 6am. Upon returning I found that it was already 7:20 and my bus was due out front of the hostel at 7:55. Apparently sometime during the night my watch lost 50 minutes. Piece of shit. That or I can’t tell time. I made my bus, shower and all....

The Auckland Sun - Night 46

For my first full day in New Zealand I was greeted with a cloudless sky and a light westerly wind. To honor such an occasion I took a brief jog through Albert Park in the morning. After repacking my bag (post customs boot-removal incident) and doing some laundry I climbed the hill up the...

Entering New Zealand - Night 45

For the last time (at least in the foreseeable future) I crawled off my partially deflated air mattress to face another day. I quickly showered, packed my belonging, said goodbye to Paolo and Charlie (the last familiar faces I’ll see until sometime next year) and headed for the airport,...

Why travel to a 1 horse town

I had reservations, of course who wouldnt, life is an experiment, throw caution to the wind, take advantage of the opportunitys that would come our way! We have a year to budget and fit in as much as this Historic area has to offer. Not in the foreseeable future would I a single mother of 3...

our second home

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...
