Holes, Hobbits, Hongis, Hangis and Hakas
This is a top pick! After bidding AJ farewell in Auckland (she had to go home and 'close some deals' or whatever it is that people with jobs do) whilst the remaining Stray cats rejoined the bus to go south to Raglan. As all you surfer dudes know, Raglan is a surfing mecca, ...
Getting cultural

Mine, All Mine! My precious....

Life down on the farm!

A sad day

Leaving Mt. Manganui
Today we packed up at the Batch and prepared to return to Auckland. Another final trip to the beach before our departure though! Our return route was a more scenic route up the coast and thru a gorge. The scenery was absolutely ...

Big Change, Small Towns
... see here and the only thing it is known for is its L&P. Having said that, we didn't have any luck finding any hostels in Paeroa. Instead, we were able to find a place about six km outside of town called the Golden Owl. The hostel is located in a place ...
Almost there...
Ok, decided to change today's destination from Thames to the famous sleepy town of Paeroa, so named after the famous local drink (which i'll sample later..).. though the name of the accommodation got me worried, casa mexicana in NZ - should be ...
