Zooming further and further south, I caught sight of a sign and remembered I had been here before, spending a week on a sheep ranch with a beautiful model. . . thank goodness it wasn’t Rachel Hunter! Every American who comes to Wellington says “It’s San Francisco!” so the locals were very …

Quick 2 week tour of New Zealand...one of the best places I've ever been!! Really want to go back one day and do it all over again,

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.

mumma picked me up from wellington and then after a coffee and catch up with Luci it was back to the big old P N. go to see my lisa and mikki and dean on the first day and then spent the next week and a bit catching up with the palmy peeps, had a very fun night out at good old highflyers …

We arrived into Wellington on friday at around 4pm and hunted for accomodation, frustratingly, for over an hour. Finally we bit the bullet and split up, Mam and Al in a guest house and me, Em and Ad in the YHA, all a stone's throw from things. Ad and I took the hostel up on the offer of $5 fush and…

You know, I'd forgotten just how much fun it is to plan for a trip.  Granted, the trips I've planned prior to this have been for groups of people, not just me.  But I'm sure I'll manage. I've still got roughly 4 and a half months to go and as usual, I'm leaving buying my plane tickets to…

I went to go visit the Kiwis in a country where sheep outnumber people at a ratio of 12:1 at least!!

We had a pretty straightforward drive down to Wellington from Napier, stopping-off in "one horse towns" that even had seen the horse leave because nothing was going-on anywhere!  Still, the people (as everywhere else in New Zealand) where very friendly and welcoming and the cafes are superb!&n…

As part of my gap year after graduating, Jen and I will be travelling to USA, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and Thailand!

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.

Crazy times on the kiwi experience bus in the most beautiful countries in the world. The people are lovely and the reggae music there is great.Did all the things I never taught id do: travelled on my own, climbed a glaicer, had a helicopter ride & did a bungy jump!!! Fav town: Queenstown Fav Island: South Island GO THERE!!!

     It was amazing to be in New Zealand, a place I never dreamed of going too.  The bus that was supposed to pick the group up did not show so we had to separate to get to Weir House. It was weird being on the “wrong” side of the road. We got up to Weir House, a st…

Well after driving into Wellington from Lower hutt, to find Steph cousin lives in Upper hutt. We arrived to a lovely house. Sam and her family have let us stay for a couple of days and fed and let us shower. More home cooked food, and James yes James made me Yorkshire puds so dont believe Steph did…

Wellington, capital of New Zealand, as well as the southern-most capital city in the world.  Looks like, the Windy City or Welliwood, as it's affectionately called by the locals, will be our last stop and the furthest south we'll be getting to, here on the NZ's North Island.  It wo…
