I spent four months in New Zealand on a working holiday visa. Most of my time was spent in Christchurch and just under 4 weeks was spent travelling around on a very quick tour of both North and South Islands. Bear with me while i get used to this site, cheers!

So Ms. Swanson what did you like most about Christchurch? Sleeping in. Besides that. Something you wouldn’t normally do? I enjoyed walking around the botanical gardens. What made it so special? Seeing the sensational spring flowers and smelling their sweet aroma. Did you go alo…

Après avoir raté la navette pour l'aéroport à Sydney, eu des stress de visa et excès de bagages, nous voici dans l'avion à regarder Sydney s'éloigner... On est super content d'aller en Nouvelle-Zélande mais c'est quand même avec un gros pincement au coeur que nous voyons disparaître …

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

Today was a walk around Christchurch for the last day. I was able to go through and taste the fudge at the Art’s Centre. Very nice but quite rich. The rest of the day was just get ready for trip north.

Summary: 4 weeks 5 countries 12 flights / 60hrs 'in the air' 2 ferries 3 car hire and many more ;) I and a friend of mine went on a trip to Australia and New Zealand. On the way to New Zealand we stopped for a few days in Tokyo, Japan. On our way back to good all Europe we stopped in Hong Kong and Macau.

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com) Housekeeping knocked on the door at 9am, waking me up but not causing any movement among the still motionless bodies of Ken, JP and Luke. The tour may have been over but I still had another week and a half of my trip left, and I walked in…

Christchurch Saturday, 27 December 2008 12:56 p.m.   After about three hours drive we have arrived in Christchurch, this means that we have quite a bit of time to spend here. The plan is to have the tram and the punting tour of Christchurch, then spend time in the centre gard…

We woke to a gorgeous sunny day - although it did turn cloudy in the afternoon and at night it was quite nippy definately need jumpers! After breakfast we wandered down to Catherdral Square and jumped on the hop on/off tram. We headed down to Botanic Gardens to book for a punt on the Avon. I reall…

...and so the hunt for a camper van was on... It's funny, in South America I was taking photos of anything, but in Christchurch there were plenty of things I would have photographed had they been in SA, but I think I must have been out of tourist mode.

I am going with Becky and am so bloody excited, I can't wait!
