Project 330, Week 18

The month of birthdays continues this week!

13/3/12 – We embarked on a two day kayaking voyage of Abel Tasman National Park. This was taken shortly after launching, and some extreme offshore winds were creating fairly hefty waves for us to deal with. Abi's windswept smile belies the building stress we were feeling! Still, a fantastic …

What happens in Barrytown, stays in Barrytown!

Before leaving Marahau/Abel Tasman we planted a tree, apparently part of the plan to offset the carbon emissions that the bus makes. We even named it after our bus. So there we go.
En-route to our next destination we stopped to look at the Punakaiki Blowholes and Pancake Rocks. Both fascinating sights to see, as you will see from the photos!

The knives are out!! In Barrytown

We had met a couple who had highly recommended the knife making at Barrytown. John thought it might be something he would enjoy so the decision was made. Only one slight problem, the day that would have been most convenient, Monday, was the one day in the week where they were closed. We decided to continue on our trip as planned and then cut back …

Pancake Rocks

Heute ging's zu den Pancake Rocks. Eigentlich hatte ich erwartet, dass die einfach an einer bestimmten Stelle am Strand sind... Tja, ich habe mich leicht geirrt... es ist wahnsinnig touristisch aufgezogen und ein Rundweg - teils rollstuhlgängig - führte uns an den Pancake Rocks vorbei.

Bizarre Barrytown...

After our very exciting morning of hang-gliding it was time to move on to Barrytown. We made a few stops once we were on the road. On the way we made a supermarket stop before heading to Punakaiki. This is situated half-way between Westport and Greymouth in the Paparoa National Park and is our drivers hometown so he was pretty enthusiastic about …

Kayakpadling og himmelstuping

Det har nå igjen gått litt tid siden siste oppdatering. Grunnet høy frekvens på aktivitetfronten og delvis til ingen tilgang på internett har du som leser derfor ikke kost deg i sofakroken med rullekake, cognac og bloggskriblerier.
Etter to særdeles rolige dager i Picton, som ikke akkurat er blandt de mest kjente av verdens mange navler, tuslet …

What happens in Barrytown stays in Barrytown

We were in Barrytown today which is literally about 3 houses and a pub. Which is where we stayed. This was just a fun stop really as otherwise it would be a hell of a drive all the way from Able Tasman to Franz Josef. We had a fancy dress party in the evening which was lots of fun, but as the title says (and as is written on the wall in the pub) …

'What happens in Barrytown, stays in Barrytown'

After constant rain for two days at Abel Tasman, the sun decided to come out the morning of our departure, typical. Today we were making our way to Barrytown, weird by name, weird by nature; a hamlet in the middle of no where, it's the 'unofficial' marijuana capital of New Zealand. A few years ago the police seized a load of cannabis plants in the …

BarryTown

9am start for the bone carving about 10 of us doing it. We got shown the different designs or we could use our own if we liked. I chose to combine 3 into one. We were shown how the carve the internal parts and then we got to sand down the edges and start with the polishing and the refining of the design and the shape into what we wanted, some were …
