Spent a couple of nights in Christchurch to see my mom before heading off. Had a great time mountain biking and generally relaxing. One more sleep!

Eigentlich wollten wir heute die etwa 14km lange Summit Road durch die Port Hills fahren - leider hat uns das Wetter einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht. Nachdem der Wecker um sechs Uhr geklingelt und gleichzeitig der Regen auf das Dach getrommelt hat, haben wir uns umgedreht und weitergeschlaf…

Rented bikes and cycled to find a seal colony and got up close and personal with the grumpy fur seals!

The tour may have been over but I still had another week and a half of my trip left, and I walked in…

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.

What can you really say about floating down a river in the middle of town? It’s relaxing, nothing more. With a name like Christchurch, sure as hell--sorry--sounds like a religious place, but then you notice the locals abbreviate it to Chch, and suddenly you feel much better. But there’s a damn…

This is a blog about my very first international trip to New Zealand and Australia. I hope you enjoy the photos!

New year has come and gone a whopping 10 days ago and no blog. I must have been busy.

In November 2006 I travelled to the southern hemisphere to live and work in New Zealand and Australia for twelve months. I was in Australia for about two months, and for the rest of the year I lived in New Zealand. I had the opportunity to travel back across the tasman sea three times for short breaks when I was able to get time off work. It was a really good experience to live on the other side of the world for one year.

My traveling ways continue to give me mad experience points. Although the changes are subtle, the longer I keep this up the more I will grow. This blog is basically my life in 2007.

This will be a very short entry as I didn't do anything exciting today, just long bus ride from Queenstown to Christchurch.  I just read my book, slept and listened to my iPod.  It was pretty rainy and gloomy here today.  I leave bright and early tomorrow for Kaikoura. Hope you're a…
