Completing the loop to Christchurch
The helicopter flight and hike on the glacier was truly magnificent. We took the 9.30 flight and the weather was glorious. The glacier is an extremely remarkable phenomenon and it was great to be able to walk on it for a couple of hours and check out the...
Queenstown and the West Coast
We are now in Franz Josef which is famous for its glacier. Queenstown was far more beautiful than we were expecting, set on Lake Waktipu (3rd largest in NZ), near the Remarkable Mountain Range. Our room in Rydges wasn’t so picturesque and we questioned if we had...
From Serenity to Adventure
We are now in Queenstown, having left Milford Sound where we spent the last two days. Whilst the weather wasn’t the best with rain and clouds, we got to experience this beautiful part of New Zealand. We travelled from Invercargill to Milford via Te...
South Island – East Coast
Napier proved to be a highlight of the trip so far. The walking tour was very informative and certainly highlighted and explained features that we wouldn’t have found out ourselves. For example a few of the streets have bends in them because when the...
Still North but heading South
A definite highlight of our trip so far was Waitomo Caves Tour. We decided to go on a smaller tour rather than with the big tour operators and we were not disappointed. Called, Spellbound our 3 and 1/4 hour tour only had 5 people on it and it was truly amazing. The...
Auckland for New Year
Happy New Year to all and welcome to 2008. Continuing in our tradition, we spent this New Year Eve in Auckland and as luck would have it, we had a view of the tower from our hotel/apartment so were lucky to be able to catch a few photos from there. We were also...
Northland
Arrived in Auckland after an uneventful flight of 3 hours. The biosecurity was rather strict but necessary in order to protect the environment. Picked up the car - a brand new Suburu Liberty and it goes very well. Drove into Auckland (with the help of the GPS) and...
Land of the Long White Cloud
Well, we are off on our next global adventure - this time closer to home as we spend 25 days in New Zealand. Departing December 27th, we fly to Auckland where we pick up our car and head off, travelling right to the top of the country before sight seeing the North...

Day 3 Beachport to Port Campbell The alarm went off a 5.45am for us to head down to the pier to get some sunrise shots but as we left the motel we noticed that the skies were looking very overcast. As we were already up we headed down to the pier. Andrew stayed in the...

Day 2 Adelaide to Beachport After a somewhat disappointing breakfast at the "Glaze cafe" we packed our bags jumped in the car got Tom set up and we headed to Glenelg a fairly famous beach side suburb about 20 minutes drive out of the central part of the city. Quite a...

Day 1: Sydney – Adelaide
We boarded our Jetstar flight at Sydney Airport only to find that we were in the last 2 seats in the last row at the very back of the plane. No window to look out of but so close to the toilets that I almost didn't have to leave my seat to have a pee!!! Our flight to...
