Closing Encounters of the Kiwi Kind

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 | By mogsie08-09 | Views [789]

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 >

Hi All. Well, I'm leaving Camp Hill, and I had a wonderful time. The universe did remind me about balance, however, as after I wrote my glowing account of my time in the mountains, we returned to a power outage thanks to a storm. So, in the rain, we unpacked ... Read more >

Oparara Limestone Arches

Wed, 27 May 2015 | By eidlewise | Views [346] | Scholarship Entry

Scrambling down over boulders through a chimney like hole took a lot of courage for me, but I knew the experience of the Maria Gate Arch would be worth it. It isn’t a tight squeeze, but tall people need to mind their heads. The smaller of the two limestone ... Read more >

Dunedin. We're feeling the effects of last night's birthday champagne, margaritas and karaoke. We've checked out of our hotel after sneaking me in for free. So we’re looking for somewhere to chill. “Wherever we end up today, I wanna be by the water, ... Read more >
