La Duchesse, our 21 year old Mitsubishi Magna, is no more. She's done well, driving 6,285.9km from Perth, finally giving up the ghost in Katherine, 300ks from our destination. I guess that big shop we did at Woolworth's, a supermarket here, was the ... Read more >

Long story short- I was camping in Los Angeles, California while on a cross country trip of the USA. I had the opportunity to do laundry at the campsite for the first time in quite a while, so I washed everything I had, including my cell phone that ... Read more >

I have just had the best 5 days of the trip so far. Rented a car with
Lisa and road-tripped through southern spain and portugal, sleeping in
the car, waking up to a different beach each morning.

By now, I am getting rather stoked about the trip. I am now thinking about Morocco from Tunis. I also want to go to Algeria but I am not sure my organisational capabilities are adequate, because of the rules for entering the country and all I would have ... Read more >

Daranak Falls Gracey
invited me to join her and her outdoor club to trek Mt. Daraitan. After

Last night, after a little concern over the smoke lingering in the forest, we soon found ourselves distracted. There were a million stars keeping us amused... too long in the city and you begin to forget that they are still there. It's so beautiful ... Read more >

Slightly nervous driving in. The sun, huge on the horizon, signals that there's only a few more minutes of light before the darkness envelopes us. It's not really the fading light that's jangling my nerves - setting up a tent in the dark isn't that ... Read more >

As we made our way back south down the Milford Road we
made a stop for a longer trek up to Key Summit, so named because three rivers

We spent the night in another DOC site at the end of
Lake Mahinapua, near Franz Josef, home of its namesake glacier. It was really

The drive was hot and uneventful back over steep
Takaka Hill especially as we managed to avoid getting stuck behind a 2 trailer

It was great to be back on the road after a work break in Wellington (work for Claire, “work” for me). We stuffed our gear into our bags and jumped in a taxi to the Interislander ferry terminal. The 3 hour ferry journey ( a comfortable mode of transport ... Read more >

The next day was the anniversary of the day Claire and I had met a year previously so we were determined to enjoy ourselves despite the gloomy mood of Sylvia and Oli's unsuccessful attempts to reconcile. We took the front seats, yanked up the music ... Read more >

PERU | Sun, 22 Jun 2008 | By katrinamckeever | Views [259]
Arequipa is a lovely little city, ringed by volcanoes and built out of white sandstone rocks, a nice gentle introduction to tourist heavy southern Peru. We headed there on my insistence as I wanted to trek in the Colca Canyon nearby. And after getting ... Read more >
