AucklandMonday 20th Sep 04
This is a top pick! Today I managed to gate crash a free city tour; it covered most of the main landmarks in Auckland. Mont Eden was spectacular; the views were amazing it's almost a 360 view of the city. It was hard to believe that I was standing on a volcano. I had seen ...

This is a top pick! The third day began in fine style, as I helped myself to the breakfast that John had prepared for me the previous night. Boiled eggs, cereals, toast, peaches, orange juice and coffee - I was set up for the day! I half hoped that it would be raining so I ...

134 Meter Jump

Auckland Wed 22nd Sep 04
This is a top pick! ... from one of the islands, so the three of us headed downstairs. Base Hostels offer a travel service and they are trying to start a new promotion which sounds really good, all they really wanted us for was to bounce the idea off of us to see if we liked ...
Perfect.
This is a top pick! ... cute boys we had seen on the street in the previous city. AND, the kicker, they're Israeli. Enter Avi and Guy, our new Israeli friends. They had a good laugh at us- two Jewish American girls who really wanted to listen to all of the Israeli music they ...

The Pikes tackle Mordor
This is a top pick! ... with very little fuss and we chilled for the rest of the evening. The journey was a hard slog, was unplanned when we arrived in New Zealand, and was totally worth it. The Tongariro crossing is one of the world’s best one day hikes. It isn’t ...
Final Destination...
This is a top pick! ... that it was hopeless. This made me appreciate Ketchup more than ever because buses are just an impractical way to travel in New Zealand. After arriving in the City Garden Lodge in the Parnell section of Auckland and relaxing with a proper cup of coffee ...
