How to Kill a Fish in the Face
This is a top pick! ... the sportiest of sportfish, and most people leave them because they are so dumb but hey, I had to cut my teeth on something in New Zealand. We soon were back in the boat zipping along to the Nine Pin. A massive steep walled island makes up the center of ...
Screw the Man, Embrace the Tan
This is a top pick! I've decided, as a long term white person, (25 years), I'm now going to embrace my tan. Screw you whitey. Where's my grape drink? I want some fried chicken, and I want it Cheap. So solly cholly, no more WASP's here. I'm gonna open me a 7-Eleven ...

The Suberts' Wedding
This is a top pick! The much-anticipated day had finally arrived. In fact, we were so eager, we were the first guests there! (yes, it has been known to happen on that rare occasion). Forget the royal wedding... it has already been trumped by this awesome ...
I Am the WORST Canadian Ever!
Howdy Folks. It's a sad sad day for this Kanuk in New Zealand. I am sad, and ashamed and from this day forth (until the next election) if you hear me saying anything about the political situation in Canada, please, punch me in the teeth. I did not ...
day 2 up the east coast of the north Island, NZ
Our first night in the tent was surprisingly good, although we had borrowed a blow up air bed from Sarah and Alan but it was a little too big for the tent and we were worried that it might cause some damage. We'll see how it goes, we may have to ...
Day 24 & 25 KeriKeri
... the lovely hostel tonight. We'll see what happens with the weather tomorrow, but the Bay of Islands seems to be very nice indeed and rain or shine I'm loving exploring the chilled out country of New Zealand. I want a black labrador and farm house! Claire ...

Lovely day for a picnic
... (this one wasn't even giving away carrier bags) in Whangarei before continuing to Paihia and then our farm hostel just outside Kerikeri. This was more of a homestay, run by a gentleman called Claes, with a beautiful polished wooden floor (all shoes ...
Happy St Patrick's Day - Part Two!

A decision
... to Paihia first (25km away and then go from there). It sort of weather dependent, but as some wise person told me New Zealand weather forecasters usually get the right weather and the right day its just the connection that often is wrong. Anyway ...
WWOOFing @ Planet Green Nursery

Going Back

WWOOFing Part II - Kerikeri Organics
If there is one thing New Zealand knows how to do well, it's a line in dilapidated, ramshackle accommodation. Clapped out, decaying, holey, crumbly, maybe even a bit mouldy, they come in all shapes and sizes, each creaking with the strain of the ...
Waiting in Kerikeri
... I don't want the money and won't soon need it but right now I don't 'need'the money. The plan was though 1. Come to New Zealand 2. Get Bike 3. Go cycling 4. Pick fruit Having completed steps 1-3 I thought I'd give 4 a go. Though the work is not ...
Exploring Northland
