It was love at first browse. We didn't even bother comparison shopping. Here we could chill for a few
days, enjoy home comforts, and weather the weather. Global Village
offered a cosy lounge with a fire lit by friendly staff everyday at
5pm, free bikes and kayaks, cheap spa and sauna, a decent book
exchange, a piano and guitar, and board games including life-size
backgammon!

Lovely facilities, calm and quiet atmosphere and an easy 20 minute walk to and from the town centre. Highly recommmended.

The area is plentiful with wood workers, stone cutters, and glass blowers. We got a taste of all three during our brief exploration of the quaint city.

Glancing at the local map, it didn …

Christchurch is a beautiful bustling city that we didn't get to explore that much, just due …

The Rugged West Coast

The West Coast, also known as the 'wet coast', experiences the most extreme weather in NZ due to Southwesterlies from Antarctica. When traveling via bike, one can only plan for the worst and hope for the best. And just like every coastline in NZ, it is not flat and sandy like you would expect. In fact, its the exact opposite: jagged rocky cliffs …

Y nos vino a recoger el pequeno bus que nos dejaria en la estacion de tren, donde tomaria el Tranzalpine, supuestamente uno de los mejores trayectos de tren y mas bonitos del mundo, atravesando el pais de este a oeste... y bueno, empezo bien, nos anunciaron la apertura del servicio de desayuno en el tren, que si cafe, que si bocadillos, que si …
