Leaving New Zealand

On the South Island

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 >

The Big Chill

Mon, 5 Jul 2010 | By wonderbunny | Views [309]

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 >
