My First Bus Ride (kind of)

Thu, 5 Aug 2010 | By mdcamps | Views [382] | Comments [2]

Today I ponyed up and bought a bus ticket. I only have five days left on NZ and still want to see so much more. Hitch hiking has worked so well, but now I just want to go too far a distance in too little a time to rely on my thumb in the air (a sign ... Read more >

Wilderness Days

The big draw for this New Zealand trip was getting outdoors and exploring their great tracks and hut system. Unfortunately, trying to see both North and South islands in 3 weeks, without your own transportation, that is a bit difficult. But finally, ... Read more >

Leaving New Zealand

Sun, 1 Aug 2010 | By wonderbunny | Views [404]

So I've come to the end of the New Zealand adventure. Good god. It started out so tame, with bus trips and scenery. Then it seems the lower down the southern island I got the more drinking, dancing and crazy behaviour ensued. I'd like to blame it on ... Read more >

On the South Island

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 | By mdcamps | Views [305]

I have had an interesting journey thus far. From Auckland to Rotorua; I consoled a trucker who just lost his job and was making his last delivery and I feed a baby milk out of its bottle while I rode with a family. In Rotorua I soaked in some thermal ... Read more >

It Begins

I was so engulfed in my travel journal and guidebook this morning that I was surprized when the planes wheels had touched down. I made it off the North American continent. Now what? I managed to make it through customs, withdraw some New Zealand Dollars ... Read more >

From North to South

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 | By wonderbunny | Views [350]

So here I am in Wellington at the bottom of the north island of NZ. So far I've got be honest I've been pretty amazed. Everyone is telling me the south is way better than the north tho, so maybe I have a hell of a treat waiting for me tomorrow when I ... Read more >

Half way round

Iguazu falls was the next stop, lying on the border of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. The falls are visible from the Arg and brazil. We decided on just seeing the Arg side as we had heard from most people that it is better and we were running out of ... Read more >

when everything feels all right...

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 | By julio_martinez | Views [1000]

It was a frosty winter morning in the town of Christchurch, but it didn't matter... because there are days when, simply, everything feels all right!... It doesn't always feel so, and it definitely didn't when I first landed in New Zealand... a few things ... Read more >

The Big Chill

Mon, 5 Jul 2010 | By wonderbunny | Views [336]

The arrival into 13 degrees from 30 was ever so slightly chilly, but having now put on ALL of my clothes, I'm toasty and acclimatising to winter in July (which seems so very wrong to someone from the northern hemisphere). So far I've been at the north ... Read more >
