Here's what each of us thought of our moment of freefall... Note: the jumpsuits only fitted one of us.... Andy:
The next morning we woke up to some patchy cloud and were sure they would
cancel our jump again. However to our
suprise they ... Read more >

Cruised on round the surfers highway, albeit minus a surfboard but time is on my side. Next stop New Plymouth, which mildly surprised me, boasting a Top 50 List, although truth be told it could easily be cut to 30. Went up the Botanic Gardens for the ... Read more >

Now that we’d gotten our fill of mountains we headed further
south to Lake Wanaka. This is the
quieter version of Queenstown by all accounts and very nice it was too. With
much of the activities of Queenstown but without all the drunken folk. It ... Read more >

After the most amazing help from Don (Linden Motors - if buying a car in Wellington I strongly urge you to get this bloke to check it out, honest as the day is long) I soon piled all my gubbins into Rusty George atop of my part time bed for the next ... Read more >

In March 2006, my husband and I took our first ever...no hotel reservation vacation! It was a little scary at first, not knowing where we would sleep at night, but I got over it very quickly. EVERYONE is nice in New Zealand, and I do mean everyone. We ... Read more >

It's now only 9 days until I leave New Zealand and I thought I'd better check how this My Journal works. I have been checking the papers lately and it looks like the maximum I can expect in Beijing will be about minus 2 degrees! Minimum seems to be ... Read more >

Currently getting ready for the big adventure! Don't think it will sink in that I am leaving until I get to China. 10 days to go... First stop Bangkok, Thailand. Hopefully got everything sorted that I need to get done before hand.

Mount Cook
After giving our car a propper run in (the wonder that is a
Nissan Sunny!) we arrived at Mount Cook. Our route took us past the brilliantly
blue lakes of Tekapo and Pukaki. The
first day was a bit of a wash out so we headed to the ... Read more >

New to tramping so not quite sure what I was getting myself into, despite the D.O.C telling me that it would be a doddle for a fit young man like me. "Doddle" would not be my choice of words. If doing this hike/ tramp, best thing to do would ... Read more >

First stop in New Zealand was Christchurch which we didn’t
spend much time in. By all accounts the city is pretty boring and still
recovering from the earthquake of last year. (A four pointer aftershock hit a few days
after we left; Andy quite ... Read more >

10/1/2011 So this is my first full week of working. Monday was pretty rough and frustrating. Lauren and I only managed to keep the kids entertained until 9.30 as they have the attention span of goldfish and either don't understand or simply won't do ... Read more >

Coming from Australia, anywhere may have been a financial relief but I was delighted I booked an additional flight to Wellington from Auckland without setting foot in the latter. Despite being the capital, Wellington most definitely has the feel of ... Read more >

NZ has been pulling out the amazing weather for the summer so far. We both had a busy Nov/Dec with school groups through the rafting center. This was great for the bank as well as to keep us out of trouble! Xmas was a great day. We headed to Palmerston ... Read more >

We arrived back in NZ on the 3rd of December, today is the 7th of January and that month has flown by. As yet we are still not settled and have been buzzing about like bees in a bush over the last few weeks. The first week was spent in Auckland staying ... Read more >
