Edge Water Homestay Wellington

... impossible is the answer as all anyone stocks are the lightweight skin tight shirts that the players wear. Well, here’s a thing – most blokes do not look like international rugby players – not even close – so putting on one of those would be an affront to all that is right and proper!

I spent my afternoon reading Twiterature and once that was complete moved onto the evening ...

... Fortunately it was early enough for to get back to the main path without anyone spotting me.

The actual route up to the pinnacles was a slog. Fairly steep and just gravel and boulders under foot but the end result was well worth the effort. Lunar landscape is often thrown out there but if you narrowed your field of vision to avoid the surrounding greenery you could have been forgiven. After my pinnacle encounter I headed up to the ...

Woke up to rain and wind, but it cleared within an hour and got really windy(25+). Drove through Wanganui then to bulls, where we stopped at a rest stop and my camera decided to stop working...Awesome
Checked out a LOTR film sight but it ended up being a forest that was cut down. Further south we took Akatarawa riad, a ...

... driver drove that fast, it was a alright journey apart from the stickiness. A can-a-day-an lad (I know I have spelt it wrong but its private joke) called James sat next to me who was really chatty & nice, we were driving & he was telling me about how cold it gets in Canada, he said it gets that cold that when Coyote dogs try to mate in the winter their you know what freezes!! Great story, but it did make me ...

... because you are able to do as little or as much as you want and they transfer your pack for you. When they dropped me off at the beginning of the track I kind of felt like I was being deserted on an island. The water taxi driver promised beers upon my arrival the next day. That first day was pretty easy with only one big hill at the beginning. I met a Canadian guy on the track and we walked and talked for the better part of the day to Ship's Cover where the ...

... waarin de oprichters van het bedrijf wat vertellen over het ontstaan en het werk wat hun dagelijks bezig houdt. Leuk opgezet, maar jammer dat er niks "echts" te zien was. Na de middag en voor de avond spits (ja, dat hebben ze op vrijdagmiddag ook vroeg in Wellington) vertrokken richting Palmerston North. Eigenlijk alleen om even de rit naar het noorden te onderbreken en omdat het hostel in Wellington volgeboekt was. 28-03: Gereden van Palmerston naar Tongariro

... area. Checked into Chateau Franz at about 5.00 and went to a bar/restaurant called Blue Ice for dinner. Thursday 12th February Franz Josef It rained all night and today we're booked to do the half day walk on Fox Glacier... Brilliant.. Drove the 30 minutes to Fox Glacier resort and had a bite to eat before assembling with all the other people at their reception area. They supply you with over-trousers, boots, socks and crampons - even jackets if you need them and off you go. It's a ...

... we had a leisurely but attractive walk downhill back into the centre, via the Parliament area.

The building to the right is the 'Beehive' building. God knows what it is, but I bet you it's packed full of pen-pushing beaurocrats...



On the way back to the hostel we grabbed a nice beer & ...

< br>Today was the least overcast of the days I’d been in Wellington – but not by much. So while I spent the day driving around the hills and harbour and playing in the traffic with the trolley buses, two indoor pursuits in the city centre were set to dominate the day. The first was Te Papa, the relatively new national museum. I don’t know whether it ...
