Mon, 25 Jan 2016 | By nomad_kiwis | Views [611]

Te Wera to Hawera

Tue, 12 Jan 2016 | By tomnzalice | Views [367]

Taupo to Motutere Bay

Mon, 11 Jan 2016 | By tomnzalice | Views [393]

We started the day very slowly, as we knew we only had to cover 56k to get to the next stop so wasn't a massive rush. Checked out of the room, the hostel was nice enough to let us stay around and use the kitchen till whenever so we just sat writing the ... Read more >

Rest day taupo

Thu, 7 Jan 2016 | By tomnzalice | Views [334]

Rotorua to Taupo

Thu, 7 Jan 2016 | By tomnzalice | Views [362]

Huntly to Matamata

Thu, 7 Jan 2016 | By tomnzalice | Views [355]

Auckland to Huntly

Thu, 7 Jan 2016 | By tomnzalice | Views [382]

Thailand, here we come! What a great first international flight for Amber. She sat in the window seat propped up on cussions to get a view of the city. 'Bye PomPom' she says. 'Bye Noona'. I held on pretty tight to both of her hands, way more nervous ... Read more >
