A few cool photos of NZ, enjoy!

Wow... It was both amazing and scarry... I had never seen a dust storm before, and seeing it in a town like Sydney just made it unreal. It looked like apocalypse, we could not see few meters away and it was so red! Incredible! I really wondered what was going on when I woke up and saw that scenery …

I got a free stopover on my way to New Zealand on Air Pacific. My sister had studied abroad there a few years earlier so she told her friends I was coming and that I was to meet up with them in Suva. I arrived the first day very early in the morning and found a hostel with a free airport shuttle. …

Places I visited included Noosa, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Surfers Paradise, Springbrook National Park, Glass House Mountains, Maleny and the City of Brisbane

I study in Perth since July 2006

NZers call Hamilton "Hamiltron: the city of the future"....for what reason I do not know! Let's be honest, there is not much to do in Hamilton besides get on the piss! I arrived in Auckland at 6am on Saturday and had a friend pick me up at the airport. Once we got to Hamilton, we went to a trolley…

I just flew in from America and boy are my arms tired.  The thing that hurt the most was when I landed on my head.  Apparently, I came down with a case of the Coriolis Effect.  Also, somewhere along the flight I must have broke the space time continuum.  I left Tampa on Saturday…

After Bangkok, we had another good few hours in the air to Darwin, where we again had about two hours in transit. It wasn't even that we could just stay on the plane and sleep, no - we had to get off, take all our stuff with us, wait for the plane to be cleaned then get back on again.   Darw…

My first 2 weeks are spent in Melbourne . Exploring the city,  took in a short film festival at Federation square.the Prahran market to explore the amazing array of fresh food,Charles Darwin Tavern to watch football  and watched Liverpool beat Man. Utd. Go reds ! Up and down Chapel s…

Got back from Aitutaki a couple of days before my birthday, but left poor gavin in Aitutaki by himself. Glad to be back but it was strange to see so many new faces there but recognised some old ones. the weather still wasnt great but at least there were other people to talk to. Went out for my bir…

Ok so this is a little late on writing but as promised here it is!!! Today, I arrived into Auckland after a ~12 hour flight and the sun sets by the time I rent a car and find my way into the city to secure a place to sleep.  As soon as I get off the plane I notice that almost every girl is wea…

On Sunday the 2nd of October we moved into the Riverside Caravan Park after having cleaned up the house from our farewell party and moving some furniture and other things we had sold. We had a few problems with this: the fridge got damaged getting it onto the ute we were using, and things always ta…

Some random pics from my random travels

Or not. Actually walking all around Japan will probably mean I'll need good, comfy, FLAT, sneakers.Oh woe is me. How I wish I could walk in heels all day, everyday without feeling like my feet need to be in the ICU.It's sort of amusing because when my feet start to hurt from a night out in heels I …

After some VERY rough turbulance we finally landed safely back in Melbourne! We could see nothing once we crossed into Victoria as they had been having serious bushfires, was just a smoky haze which covered for miles and miles. We stepped off the plane and it was 48 degrees celcious (unsure what …
