Still in zombie mode, we fought the tiredness and made the most of our first and last night in Auckland by visiting the Sky Tower, the tallest free-standing structure in the southern hemisphere, at 328 metres. We planned to go as the sun was going down, but were obviously a few minutes late as the …

Amazing trip from San Francisco to Auckland, drove all the way to Wellington and took the ferry to Picton and went as far as Christchurch. Ran out of time and had to come home!

Leaving has been harder today than I thought. So much of my focus has been planning my trip and I havent thought about the leaving part of it but it sucks! At least there are far more 'see you laters' than 'goodbye' which makes it easier. Onwards and upwards!

Where we've been and where we're headed

Just arrived, going to check out Auckland for a couple of days. Then maybe explore the North Island for a week.Staying at the City Lodge on Vicent St - cheap, clean and looks good so far. Just had a falafel at the Little Turkish Cafe, just up from the City Lodge. Comedy moment was when a cockroa…

The idea of visiting Auckland was to catch up with a very dear friend, Mel. However did get to see some of the culture and some views of the modern day skyline, how things have changed. Next stop Oz, need to get some more sun.

13 countries, 23 flights and 55 beds what more can I say.

a map and some photos of my slightly unplanned trip around the world. The map outlines the general route I took, not counting the backtracking and double visits. Currently I am scanning some photos of this trip, but be patient, there are a lot of them! Argentina - Chile - Easter Island - French Polynesia - New Zealand - Australia - Bali - Hong Kong - Macau - Singapore

Finally I take a holiday which most people consider "normal".  My aunt in Melbourne had purchased a holiday package which she couldn't use and was kind enough to offer it to us!  :-)  

Hi, here's the pictures from my well-deserved Kiwi trip after having successfully finished my studies in Australia. Beginning with the Northern Island...

As I stood looking at the roaring sea, I could convince myself I was all alone. Then I turned around; there’s high-rises behind me. Damn! The Maori name for the place--before the whities named it after the boring Earl of Auckland--was Tamaki-makau-rau, which as anyone knows means “spouse of a…

New Zealand is definitely a place to visit - and if you love sheep it's heaven

Despite my recent time spent in Patagonian bus bootcamp, 13 hours with my arse welded to an economy seat in a passenger jet still feels way too long. My eyes and fingers are happier than my buttocks though; the plane is fully kitted out with fancy-schmancy personal TV screens and remote controllers…
