D day

It should have been a breeze today - how long can it take to pack 9 kg of luggage? Not long, but I didn't count on Annie saying she needed two pairs of back trousers, walking shoes and, and, and.... Arrived fashionably slightly late at the airport only to find my plane had been rescheduled...

Day one minus one

At work and doing heaps and heaps. Well not really. I have made apologies to everyone I was meant to do work for with lots of promises of what I will do when I return.

Farewell New Zealand

June 16 Jen met us at the bus station. She still had lots of plans for us as it was our last day in New Zealand. We headed to the local Rugby ground to watch the end of a club match. The seats were freezing so luckily we only stayed for about 10 minutes. We picked up a couple of DVDs ready to...

Famous last words

June 11 Since December Hawkes Bay has had only 1 or 2 days of rain and is experiencing quite a bad drought. This is a little wierd micro climate of New Zealand. As a break from all the wind and rain we decided to make the 2 hour journey over there and check out the town. On the way there it...

Windy Miller

June 10 As our first day in Palmy Jen decided to show us a few of the local highlights. First on the agenda we headed up to Te Apiti wind farm. It was very windy and cold up there, winter is definately on its way here and there have been a lot of reports of snowfalls in the south island, with...

Going Underground

June 9 We diverted off the path to Jens house to go to Wiatomo Caves. Here James went black water rafting, this involved James putting on a wetsuit and picking out the right size inner tube to fit around his bum. The group then went off into a little hole in the ground. The group followed an...

I want to buy some cheese.

June 7 As we left the picnic spot in the morning it started to rain. We drove down the coast, then across to Puhoi. Here Trace wanted to go to the cheese factory, except when we got there it wasn't actually a factory, more of a Cafe that sold cheese that was made next door. To compensate for...
