Today, after a very tastey peach ice cream, a few of us took a ferry across to an island near Auckland, I forget the name :(. When we got there we bought an all day bus pass and took the local bus around to a couple of beaches. I had a wee shot on a ... Read more >

Forget MacDonalds and Burger King. In the north of New Zealand they have plenty of Burger Fuel's. They're by far the best burger takeaway I've ever been to. Their burgers are all really weird and different and healthy compared to your average burger.... Read more >

We arrived at Auckland at about 12 in the afternoon local time. Luckily I was nowhere near as jet lagged as Hong Kong since I'd managed to get some sleep on the plane. After making our way through their heaps of secruity checks, (a sniffer dog was convinced I ... Read more >

The next destination was Queenstown, probably the most
touristy town on the South Island and home to pretty much every adrenaline
sport known to man. Again it's a very picturesque setting for a town, on a lake

I had to get up for a rediculously early ferry crossing back to the North Island because with my time quickly running out in New Zealand I knew I'd have a real whistlestop tour if I was to fit in everything I still wanted to see and do there. Needless ... Read more >

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 >
