3 Marine Parade, Paraparaumu Wellington, North Island, New Zealand, 64-(0)4-902-5856
We were sad to leave Palmy, but on the road again was a refreshing new start. It rained most of the day with occasional heavy downpours, sometimes I was worried that our car would be flooded. The drive was pleasant otherwise, highway 57 merged with New Zealand Highway 1 at the farming community of Levin, and soon we were close to the Tasman Sea once again. After a couple of hours of relatively heavy traffic we arrived in a small beach community of Paraparaumu. Like many other North Island tow...
Paraparaumu, New Zealand panf007It's Good Friday and with the Wellington YHA full and little chance of me finding a cheap bed late in the day, I choose to stay 30 minutes outside the capital, in a quiet beachside town with the unwieldy name of Paraparaumu. The Kiwi Traveller minibus storms down Route 1 stopping off at Taihape, self-proclaimed as NZ's 'Only Gumboot City'. On a national holiday there are quite a few drifters wandering about staring into the closed shop windows. I can't find a single mention of this highway s...
Paraparaumu, New Zealand williampotter... dreamt about the deja vu moment, so now I think I am going to adopt that explanation of such a phenomenon. It makes me feel better to have deja vu because then I really think I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing in life. Deep thinking, I know.<br><br>On a lighter note, we went shopping yesterday! WOO. The shopping here is amazing. My mom keeps warning me to stay away, but it really is hard to do that when New Zealand styles are so much more interesting ...

Wellington, North Island, New Zealand kirst-leszek09... You will never need to memorise anything and should just relax and let it make it's way into your brain. He also sounds like he is permanently sucking on a lozenge which is a little off-putting. As a learning tool he has two pupils – a boy and a girl – who he teaches the new vocabulary along with you and then asks them to formulate it into a sentence. In a sense you are the third member of the class but the one whose mistakes are never ridiculed. As the tapes ...

Wellington, North Island, New Zealand schwate... this purpose). I think traveling, this rootlessness, has the ability to create a strange nihil-hedonistic atmosph**e. Ev**yone is alone, ev**yone wants to make friends and meet people, but at the same time, we're only in this town for a few nights, so what does it matt**? It was Nev**Nev** Land. I was beginning to get the feeling: IF I DON'T GET OUT OF WELLINGTON NOW, I WILL NEVER GET OUT OF WELLINGTON. So I booked a NakedBus to Taupo and was off the next day.

I went for a run along the shore while April played a soccer game. Got in a good hour and made it down the shore to where there were no more cars, houses, etc. Just me and a ...
Wellington, North Island, New Zealand rebshark... a private shower - felt quite spoiled. In addition to having a fully equipped kitchen, as do the rest of the backpackers lodges (although I have learned that "fully equipped" has a wide range of interpretations), they also served inexpensive meals to "Stray" clients. We happily dined on Mexican food, pasta and burgers and fries. We all slept very well that night. Day 6 - Today we acquired a new driver, Gollum. (I eventually did find out how he acquired his nick ...
Wellington, North Island, New Zealand mshulist... toute l'année, dans les bureaux de Wellington ou autres, et ce soir-là, ils pouvaient ranger leur costard au placard pour sortir un autre déguisement ; ce soir-là, ils pouvaient boire à outrance et crier dans la rue ; oui ce soir-là ils pouvaient se lâcher... Mais derrière tous ces costumes, qui étaient-ils vraiment ? 08/02/09: Balllade en ville, cable car, jardin botanique, Te Papa Museum, Plage.
