Auckland, New Zealand

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,...

our second home

we've called Auckland our home for the past 4-5 years. its relaxed feel was quite a treat after living in busy metropolitan Manila for 4 years. now, we love the fact that we are able to keep up with technological (& other) advances and still enjoy the abundance in nature - pollution free. The...

New Zealand North Island - Farewell to Minnie

Before leaving Christchurch, we had one last thing to do – Ollie needed to have a dinner of Roast New Zealand lamb. After a brief discussion, we decided that if Ollie was going to finally have his NZ lamb, we would be best going out. Reception mentioned the Oxford on Avon pub which does a...

The Honey Smuggler

Our journey to Auckland was to actually take 2 flights - the first would take us to Sydney, where we were to have about an hour wait until the next flight took off to Auckland itself. Unfortunately, our first flight departed about ¾ hour late, and was then held up above Sydney for a while...

Stressed out in Auckland

We made it to our last destination in NZ, got some dinner and realised that we had approximately 48 hrs to get ourselves sorted for Country number 10! So after trying to get a good nights rest so that we could wake up early (well early-ish!) we headed out into the city center determined to get...

Greetings from New Zealand!

The flight over to New Zealand is a long one, a little over twelve hours to be specific. Whoever said time travel isn't possible has apparently never flown across the International Date Line. I left Los Angeles the evening of February 19th and landed in Auckland the morning of the 21st. The...

Auckland Avenue

First day in Auckland was totally knackered from the jet lag; 4 hours time shift, plus a 6.5 hr night flight with little or no sleep! Screaming kids and Finding Nemo on the TV! Anyway get in to Auckland and go straight into town, I didn’t want to fall asleep like I did in Hong Kong and mess...

Day 1: Waitiki Landing to Kaitaia

I present myself in the morning to Joyce, the proprietor of Waitiki Landing. Her eyes travel slowly down from my face to the tight cycling shirt-encased torso, linger on the clingfilm-tight lycra shorts and then on down.... "STREWTH!! You'll have to get those pins tanned up a bit!", exclaims...
