Christchurch, New Zealand

Day One

An early flight, but still managed to touch base with Robbie and David who couldn't fly to Fiji due to the weather. Ryan was most excited about the individual TV's on the plane! Once we arrived we picked up the car, a Toyota Corolla, just a newer version of the car I have at home, and...

Christchurch

We're off!! Wee hee.... Thanks Nana and PopaDon for dropping us at the airport! The trip started very well for Mum - the spunky lead singer from Opshop let her push in front of him and the band! That put a smile on her dial. My first ever flight went really well. I actually don't...

"Limitation is a creation of the mind"

Ya estoy por Nueva Zelanda!!! Tras un duro viaje(22h.por eso de coger vuelos baratos…todo el día en aeropuertos, tirado de aquí para allá). Christchurch es la capital de la isla sur, medio millon hab, tranquila, y se parece a esas ciudades inglesas del s.19. Edificios de piedra gris, un...

Goodbye Kiwi land - a look back...

Hello family and friends... we can't believe it's already been 2 months on the road, but we feel lucky to have jam packed many memorable times into those 2 months and look forward to our upcoming adventures in Australia. Our last few days in New Zealand were a bit anti-climatic, but we did...

Making the most of the last leg of the trip!

Absolutely LOVE New Zealand - the scenery is just stunning...so many bluer than blue lakes, massive mountains, moody looking skies, friendly people, nice cheap food, quiet scenic roads to drive on, architectural buildings, chilled out bars and last but not least...crazy fun stuff to do! (see...

Last Night in New Zealand - Night 116

My last day in New Zealand and a gorgeous one at that; mid 80s and not a cloud in the sky. I walked down to Hagley Park, a massive collection of soccer fields, botanical gardens, tennis courts, a golf course and numerous other playfields. Quite luckily I stumbled upon the World Croquet...

Al's Bar - Night 115

Honestly, I didn’t do a whole lot today. The morning was spent updating journal entries and trying to get photos to upload to the internet. I’ll be very happy once I’m back in Australia where the web operates at above phone modem speeds. In the afternoon I wandered down to the Canterbury...

New Brighton Beach - Night 114

Finally February. January was one of the longest and shortest months of my life. At times I forgot what day of the week it was and days passed by in seconds, other afternoons seemed to drag on for weeks. Unencumbered by duties and appointments, by meetings and deadlines, by any semblance of...
