3/12/2010 10:01 PM We got up this morning around 8:45.  Our goal was to get a good run in before the wine tour we had planned.  We were planning on doing this run at Ocean Beach (supposedly a really pretty beach in the area), but it was too far away, ... Read more >

My second visit to Auckland marked the finishing point of my bus loop with Magic.   On the way from Mt. Maunganui we stopped along the way for a walk in the woods and lastly at the Rose Gardens in Parnell before reaching the downtown core.   I ... Read more >

Mono in New Zealand...just my luck!

Tue, 9 Mar 2010 | By sx_larabie | Views [675]

As you can imagine, Mono (also known as Glandular fever) was definitely not part of my travel plans. The first 2 weeks were the worst: fever, chills, flu symptoms, throat infection, lack of appetite and sleeping more than 14 hours a day.   My throat ... Read more >

Cim smo krenuli “krenuo” je vozacev ekspoze! To me je odmah iznerviralo jer sam pomislio necu moci zaspati od njegovog cvrkuta na razglasu. Medjutim, kao i svako ko je prezivio vojnu akademije, vrlo brzo sam postao gluv i utonuo u san. Prvo ... Read more >

If I were to settle in NZ long term it would be in Mt. Maunganui :)

When a place just feels right you – you know it.   I didn’t specifically seek out visiting Mt. Maunganui but I am so glad I did!   It was the final required stop on my bus loop back to Auckland and due to the schedule I could spend just one night ... Read more >
