The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

New Zealand Adventures Week One!

The South Island - Milford to Milton
... , towards Invercargill. I think we actually saw about 2 cars in the first couple of hours of driving! and probably about 1000 sheep! New Zealand is mad! Invercargill seemed to be a lot more built up than some of the other cities we had been to, but ...
What the Cook
Just as yesterday was beautiful, today is really bad. We drove up to Mount Cook, but the hundred km per hour winds and rain blew us back to over to Lake Tapeka, which gave Cynthia one last chance to frog march us both up one final ...
Dunedin to Waihola

Cromwell to Milton

Lovely fishing and another car story
... like rocks. Upon further investigation though, it is obvious they are sheep. Sheep, sheep and more sheep. They are a constant in this New Zealand landscape. It is a great spot to whittle away a chunk of time. ...later. Joe returned with a smile to say he ...
End of Tramping

The Chess Master vs. The Arrogant Doofus
... his stream of consciousness and goes all over the place. He told me about his tribe, which was the first group of Maori to settle New Zealand. He also told me their creation legend, as well as some of their rituals. He said that if I eve planned on ...
Curio Bay to Mt. Stuart
After our romp with the dolphins we went to a forest that was over 180 million years old. There were no leaves and everything was made of stone actually. The ancient forest was petrified by being covered by volcanic mudslides for thousands of years. ...
Sustainable? Maybe.
It's hard to believe it is almost Christmas. there are adverts everywhere for things to buy and "Merry Christmas" is always the parting phrase. It feels so wrong at this point of the year because the sun is shining, the days are long, and snow is only ...
Learning Maori in Milton
After one more day/night in Dunedin, I've found my way to Milton, to the home of Jack and Debbie, my new wwoof hosts. Based on little other than first impressions, I get the feeling that this will be a good stop. Jack and his dog Jess met me in the small ...
