Auckland

I'll stick by my original impression of Auckland, it doesn't hold up well to expectations when you first step off the plane.  I now realise there are a lot of really nice parts around the centre - Devonport for example is just delightful.  Huge parks, ... Read more >

Kaikoura

We’ve booked 2 nights in a hostel in Kaikoura, but are prepared to stay for 4 – 5 if the surf is right.   We’ve not seen anything that even looks like a wave let alone surf on our trip yet, so our hopes are high.   To increase our chances of surf ... Read more >

We headed out of Hector with a real sad feeling, we were reminded of a saying ‘Do not cry because it’s over, rejoice because you have achieved it’ which we are beginning to understand.   The drive over to Hanmer Springs was via the Lewis Pass, a lovely ... Read more >

We decided to spend some time renovating Dixie, to make her a bit comfier and nicer to stay in.  Paul made the best fold out bed in the world, and hinged everything, so that I can actually get into the under bed storage without it all falling on my head, ... Read more >

Did you know that Poor Knights Island, a marine park just off the east coast of the top of the north island, has some of the best diving in the world? Jacques Cousteau apparently believed it to be the case, and of course whether or not that's true, it ... Read more >
