Riddled with Radler
This is a top pick! ... 'Nooooo! Don't even...don't even..', yet at the same time I actually wouldn't mind having a crack at it. I'll be leaving New Zealand soon and it will be a great farewell to this life-shaping experience. Then again, the old hound's not up yet and after ...

This is a top pick! ... After meeting at Base, we went for a meal in the ever popular 'Asian Food Hall' where more often than not, I can be found sampling a new Thai dish or spicy Korean soup. Micky and I opted for Chinese, Jackie for Japanese, and we sat and tucked in to a ...

Scaling The Pinnacles
This is a top pick! This weekend we went for our first proper "tramp" (Kiwi-speak for hike) in a land where half the population is tramping-mad. The venue was the Coromandel, a peninsula of beaches, bush and mountains east of Auckland. The tramp we did was in the ...
Cuckoo Cottage
This is a top pick! ... everywhere were enjoying mass gatherings and belting out their big celebrations. We had a super night and met some great new people. Interesting people. Not as amazing as my two American friends but with honest wholesome lives, great senses of humour ...
Wondering in the Aftermath
This is a top pick! ... or even what I'll be writing about. I can't even begin to guess where I'll be when I sit down to write the 'two-hundredth'? I could be anywhere really, absolutely anywhere. It might not even be from New Zealand. Who knows? I can only hope it ...
