Les premiers miles avec ma van

Throwing Myself Out of a Plane.. Twice
This was the most INCREDIBLE thing I have done in the space of 10 minutes. I would say ever but it was purely conquering the mind's production of fear, which is essentially easier than I thought. I just kind of booked myself a slot on the day without ...
Back in Taupo
Back in Taupo tonight. Was a seriously long drive from Wellington to here. Werre traveling for 8 hours and were only stoped for about an hour in total i guess. Nothing planned. just saving money. Will be back in Auckland ...

Taupo
... skydive, which was very dependant on the weater. I'd been told to sky dive whereever I got the opportunity, but I wanted to wait for Taupo because it's famous and one of the cheaper sky dives. This meant I was relying on good weather when I was there. On ...
Uga Uga in Taupo
... (uA deshalb moegen die Japaner NZ so sehr - weil sie die ganzen Stadtnamen so gut aussprechen koennen). Ich war vorhin noch in Taupo, davor in Rotorua, Whitianga, Hahei...etc. Nun ma etwas zur Mitte der Nordinsel (free Internet im Hostel - da hat man ...

It's Taupo again!!
... too in that we were low on diesel and fuel stations are few and far between once out of town. We stopped twice en route to Taupo, but neither station had any fuel. Finally reached Taupo in pouring rain on a very solid E on the fuel gauge. The van was ...
A tutto kayak
... . La casualita' a volte ha un gran senso dell'umorismo. Partiamo. La gita durera 4 ore. Pagaiamo lungo le sponde del lago Taupo fino a raggiungere delle sculture Maori, scolpite sulle rocce a picco sul mare. L'acuqa cristalllina e blu come la notte lascia ...
Taupo + Tongariro
... . Altsaa en kaempe vulkansk eksplotion; Saa stor at eksplotionen paa davaerende tidspunkt (med datidens maaleinstrumenter) kunne maales i Kina!! Lake Taupo er en af verdens stoerste soeer. Rigtig flot, og god at fange torsk i. (har dog ikke proevet ...
Lake Taupo - Long walks & sharp drops
... we weren't really thinking about what was ahead of us as we boarded the bus that would take us to Freefall, one of Taupo's several skydiving centres. Skydiving is one of the most popular activities in Taupo and is apparently the best place to do it in NZ ...

Lake Taupo #1 - rainy!
After a stop at the Taupo Bungy for James to take a jump, we arrived in Taupo in rain like stair-rods, and it continued throughout our stay. We didn't see the place, just got dropped off at The Warehouse for some shopping and ran back to the motel ...
Taupo Day 2
... of the sights a bit further out of Taupo as she was driving out there this morning. Most of the things to see just outside of Taupo are quite close together, but a bit to far to walk out to. Firstly we went out to see Huka Falls, which was a small ...
Heading South to Lake Taupo
... huge loss for NZ and for the Kimreys. We're now being forced to watch the Auckland - Wellington game in the upcoming Air New Zealand Cup (since NZ also lost a big cricket tournament in an early round...). First stop after Russell was in Raglan - ...
New Zealand Update
We've been here in New Zealand for about 3 weeks now, the scenery is just amazing, every corner you turn there is another photo opportunity, although the weather is bloody cold!! We're spending the majority of our time in the South Island as that's were ...
Why i ate a Burger King on an active volcano
... and off all the time to gaup at geothermal hot pools, gushing geysers and ghosts of hobbits skipping around in valleys, we arrived in Taupo at threeish and we would be leaving at 7.50 in the morning to do the Tongariro Crossing, a seven hour mountain hike ...
Please can I sky dive today
... whole experience again. I think the most scarey experience is watching the DVD afterwards as it is so cringe worthly! So onto Taupo. I skydived with two Swedish girls Madelaine and Emma who tried to convince me to come out with them that night. Nothing ...
Traveling from Tarawera to Taupo and beyond...
... 40! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7HGMsMxm_U The next day we picked up our things and moved south a smidge to the beautiful Lake Taupo. We stopped along the way just outside a sleepy little town, Reporoa, at a public hotspring pool. Not the ...
TTS
These last few days have been so hectic. It seems like I've been working at tts(taupo tandem skydiving) for a few weeks rather than just a few days. I have to admit that it's been a little tiring/stressful, we get there at 8am and don't get to go home ...
Down to Taupo
... it transpired that they wouldn't be heading out in the next few days due to bad weather. We decided to head on to Taupo where we would base ourselves for the Tongariro Northern Circuit, which is where we are now. Unfortunately bad weather here has stopped ...
Tongariro Crossing
Samen met Marijke heb ik (Astrid) de Tongariro Crossing gelopen, 19,4 km. We zijn om 8:15 uur gestart en om 15:15 kwamen we aan bij de parkeerplaats aan de andere kant van het park. Ze hebben delen van de track aangepast zodat het iets beter te lopen is ...
Lake Taupo

Waitomo to Taupo
... Taupo our skydive was cancelled due to high winds, despite the sunny weather. We were a bit gutted as we were prepared for it. Taupo is probably the place I could most easily live in so far. It was also the scene of some Kiwi Experience mayhem. It was ...
Taupo
... Next stop was the Huka Falls. A huge volume of crystal clear water flowing along a cascade only about 7m wide. On to Taupo where we booked into the Taupo Urban Retreat. A quick beer then shopping for hat, gloves and food for the Tongariro ...
