WELL YOU`LL SEE "I LOVE TRAVELLING"

Wahey! Here I am at last. Seems like I've been planning this trip forever. My flight out of LAX was peaceful. Qantas is one of the best airlines I've flown on. I'm very happy with the service. I got a nightpack, eye mask, socks and toothbrush and paste. Food was filling, and they served wine as w…

After my rest in Gisborne I took the bus to Palmerstone North with the intension to cycle from there to Wanganui which would have been about 90km! However, it was again the wind that troubled me and after riding 50km against it I was in a terrible mess!!! I almost cried the whole way. It was just i…

I spent my whole lunch time yesterday to buy err birthday presents for people back home *people who are dear to me* whose birthdays i ve missed. And moi..who always pack a day before any trip....*no sooner..no later* basically just…

The world! Well 19% of it anyway

In jan 2009 zal ik 3 maanden op reis gaan samen met mijn lieve vriendinnetje Marjon!!

Auckland ligt op onze route omdat we anders niet in Fiji kunnen komen. Het blijkt ook geen stad waar je dagen moet zijn. Het klimaat is er net als Nederland ... regen. We hebben wel een rondje door de stad gelopen, maar echt onder de indruk zijn we niet. Wel hebben we hier nog een speciale ste…

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com) After a fairly late breakfast Ken and I headed down to the observation deck at Sky Tower, by far Auckland’s tallest building at 328 metres. While it gave the usual bird’s eye view of the city that can be found in similar towers in co…
