If you’re in Wellington and never complain about the wind, come and see me to receive your prezzie! Whether it’s a shiny or rainy day, the Wellingtonian’s lungs are always filled with the cold air without struggling for more. I moved from Bangkok, Thailand 4 years ago. Wellington, my second h…

It was another beautiful day following a not so beautiful night. I was windy and rained all night last night. The tent I borrowed is a little old and started to rip in the wind. I woke up in the middle of the night wet and cold. I curled up into a little ball in the dry corner of the tent and slept…

We set off for a walk to the Lambert Quay area. We then decided to go into parliment house. They were doing guided tours so off we went, after all it was free and informative. We then walked a bit more and decided to get a taxi up the hill to where the tram car goes (when it is running) and had lun…

Another day of waiting such a long time. I really hate it to be ill on holiday, otherwise I would have done many things but I'm just to lazy at the moment. Bad memories of New Zealand which is a pity, it's such a beautiful country. In the morning I tried to eat something but it turned out all wrong…

*****DAY TWENTY-ONE (Tuesday, December 23rd) - WARM WELCOME IN WELLINGTON!*****Belinda and I spent most of the day on the bus from Taupo to Wellington.  It was a seven-hour trip with several stops along the way.  The bus rides actually aren't that bad.  I really haven't minded them &…

So I have just finished my two day tour of Wellinton. We came up on Friday night to visit Ali's friend Kim. It's a fun place with a very hippie vibe. Downtown is this great shopping area called Cuba St. which goes all the way down to the water. It is blocked off from cars and has tons of street per…

My first overseas adventure couldn't have been more perfect. I met some amazing friends travelling around on a contiki tour. Aside from spending a substantial proportion of my holiday being sick, it will definately take a lot for any future travels to compare to how good of a experience this one was.

Vandaag heb ik de Cable car naar de botanische tuin (toegang gratis) genomen. De rozentuin is zo mooi. Het is raar dat het hier lente is en alles in bloei staat ten opzichte van het weer en de natuur in Nederland. De rozen ruiken heerlijk en hebben lieve namen: valentine heart, lasting lo…
