There is a limit to nostalgia and Invercargill is not a place to hang around for long. Hard to leave the best breakfast ever behind though: yoghurt, fruit, nuts and honey, with real green tea, in "Three Bean" on Dee Street. Superb. However, I was beginning to feel like the solitary woman in an Edward Hopper painting. On my last evening I ate sup...

Today mummy was going to be on a long journey on the bus, first along the west coast and then through mountains. I had gone back to Gatesead to lay my healing flippers on BBW who was poorly with a pesky cold. We had a few communication problems with mummy because there she had intermittent mobile signal and whenever she called BBW he was asleep...

During our qantas flight down from Auckland, the pilot announced that the weather was bad around Queenstown (the town is surrounded by mountains) and the flight might have to divert to Invercargill (which would mean we would have to endure a further 5 hour journey by coach to Queenstown), so we were happy when we saw the mountains after descendi...

Leaving Dunedin, we dropped the car back in our old familiar town of Queenstown and headed straight for Fergburger. We discovered Fergburger last time we were here and hungover. Recommended by literally everyone we had met, it is the best and BIGGEST burger we have ever had. Why it is not a chain is beyond me. After our bellies were full of burg...

If your friends jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge, would you do it too? It's a question that mothers reputedly ask their children to help elicit independent thought. (I don't think my mom ever said it, though. A little too cliche for her parenting style). But it seems an interesting question in light of my time in Queesntown. The Golden Gate Bri...

This morning was my Safari Lord of the Rings full day tour. I was actually scheduled to do this tour several days ago, but when I woke up in was raining and cold so I blew it off and re-scheduled. I was picked up from the Lakeview Holiday Park at about 8:30 in the morning and we headed north to Paradise and Glenorchy where many of the scenes for...

Queenstown legendario a recientes fechas por ser capital mundial de los deportes extremos, saliendo del hostal lo primero que vi en el cielo fue un montón de parapentes, recorrí la ciudad en poco tiempo, dandome una idea de lo que es, en verdad es pequeña, un strip lleno de comercios, hoteles, creo que no haré demasiado estos días mas que reposa...

We decided to pass one of the afternoons in Queenstown by going up on the gondola. At the top is a luge track. Katie, Brendan and I decided to give it a try. Luge is a 3-wheel go-cart and the track winds around the top of the gondola. There was also a view-platform and a sky-view bar up top, so we stayed around and enjoyed the view for a drink. ...

I've been in Queenstown for almost 3 weeks now. I got here at both a good and bad time. Good for finding accomodation but bad for finding a job. I got a "flat" on Fernhill, a large hill which is kind of a subdivision of Queenstown. The view off of my porch is unbelievable, probably the best view I've had in my whole life. That's saying something...

We left the beauty of Milford Sound and headed to Queenstown we stopped short of Queenstown on the side of a lake which was once again another beautiful spot which we all decided was the best place we stopped at so far we had our own little beach we where able to get a swim in crystal clear water from the glacier then had our dinner and sat on t...
