“Best hostel so far”

YHA Tauranga is a really nice hostel, plenty of things to keep you busy on site and around abouts, and when I was there it seemed like a "this is nice, I'm gunna stay" hostel, as lots of people appeared to have moved in while they worked in the area. I had intended to only stay for a few days but ended up staying ages and working. Really clean, female only showers, helpful staff, cheap washing machines with washing lines so you can actually hang your washing out rather than have to tumble dry all the time. 4 stars.

Tauranga and Mount Maunganui

A travel blog entry by billoco

So after only intending to stay in Tauranga for a few days and just explore the town a bit and climb the mountain I end up staying for quite a while (5 days at current count) as there is work nearby so while work is avaible I decide to stay in one place and earn some cash to top up my bank account. Rather than continuing travelling and spending …

Rain, rain, go away...

So now i'm up to date with my internet commitments (apologies for my uselessness at keeping a travel blog, I assure you my journal is not faring much better) I'll just give you a quick update as to whats happening. Work around Tauranga and the Mount is non-existant at the moment, I spent 3 hours yesterday scouring both towns bars and restaurants …

Orca!

A travel blog entry by billoco

So today I decided to take my second attempt at dolphin swimming. And again the dolphin eluded us. I don't think there are any dolphins around here, I think they're just lying to us to get our money. Haha. But, I was rewarded with a sight as fanstastic as what swimming with dolphins would have been; orca. And not just one, but three killer whales, …

Time to travel...

A travel blog entry by billoco

So, at last, it is time to move on. Time for a road trip, a proper New Zealand travel experience. Much as I have loved staying in Tauranga, the place itself is gorgeous and doesn't feel like a city in the slightest and the people I've met here at the YHA are amazing, especially my fellow long-timers (Kathleen, Stu, Harry, Trent and Michelle, who is …
