Fri, 14 Jan 2011 | By mattandandy | Views [562]

MIlford Sound

Sun, 16 Sep 2012 | By henrika_traveller | Views [383]

I don't particularly like "Must see lists" while I am travelling but I got a feeling I still wanna see Milford Sound and yes I was strongly adviced to see it by my host family. WHile I was working in Tauranga in the North Island, I came across ... Read more >

Sun, 18 Dec 2016 | By joyaroundtheworld | Views [266]

I showered and started to pack up all of my things. I've accumulated so much since the beginning of this trip that I've long ago ran out of room in my pack. I left the hostel and walked down to the waterfront and spent some time there. I meandered around, ... Read more >
