Wellington, New Zealand

Back At Rowena's Lodge

So I was gonna hang around Taranaki for another couple of nights so I could climb that mountain but eventually I decided against it. Its a big scary mountain and I didn't want to do it on my own and anyway, Wellington has plenty of hills that resemble mountains so I headed back down to the...

Windy Welly

Came across to Wellington on the ferry a couple of days ago. The journey out of Picton through the Marlborough Sounds is beautiful. And I've finally found somewhere in New Zealand that has a bit of dynamism and vibrancy to it (admittedly that's what people normally come here to get away from)....

One Month In The Capital

With Wellington being the nation's capital an all that there are plenty of things to do to keep you entertained and some of them don't even involve alcohol. Most do involve coffee on account of the copious amounts of cafes, each one with its little fan club that claims it does the Best Coffee In...

Random Nuggets Of Information #5

Getting to a new place and Settling In means I haven't had a great deal to blog about that doesn't involve stress and/or drinking. Fortunately my ego is big enough to continue telling the world all about me me me whether they're interested or not so brace yourself for a few paragraphs all about...

From South to North

While Sean was still playing catch up after being left behind in Queenstown, Karl and Dan, after a short recovering night in Christchurch, left for Kaikoura. Kaikoura is a very windy and sleepy town with very little to do but drink. And so, Karl and Dan headed for the local pub for some...

A Knock Down, But Not Out

While enjoying a quick dip in Spa Park back in Taupo, our van was broke into and we lost some important things- phone, Jen's passport, credit cards, mp3 player, and Jen's toiletries. Admittedly, we were lax and left things in plain view (and didn't notice one window wasn't latched). We learned...

Farewell to Belmont - Night 81

The second nice day in a row. To celebrate I took my final hike to Belmont Park. I’ve been there so often it has begun to feel like my backyard, yet the place is so big I’ve never done the same hike twice. I will definitely miss the prickly gorse forests and dogging sheep shit with every step....

Winding Down - Night 80

Tying up loose ends. That is how I would describe my day. Fighting to understand the receptionist at the Rutherford YHA ( I think I have two nights and transportation to and from the Nydia track booked), paying one last shopping visit to the Queensgate mall, cleaning my room, washing my...

All Hands on Deck - Night 79

The inter holiday period is a tough time to arrange volunteer projects as most of the coordinators of the local projects are unavailable. As such, our calendar was again blank for this cold and windy Friday. Once the rain cleared, Terry took us out on the Sentinel for an afternoon sail around...
