... were huge....<br><br>Overall we had a fun and adventurous road trip. A story that started the laughter was an occurrence whilst I was driving. The lorry in front had slowed down, for what seemed like no reason. In the field to the left of the car was a lady, completely 'starkers', doing a yoga pose, with her husband/lover/agent(?!) taking a shot of her with NZ's popular &amp; well photographed Mt Ruapehu in the background. SO funny. No wonder ...

Hi everyone Well, we left Rotorua under strict instructions that as we were driving along an unsealed road to Gisborne, then we would need supplies from the supermarket. It was a long road, there were no cafes, no toilets, we might break down and it would take us about 4 hours. The owner of the Motel painted a very bleak picture of a drive. We reluctantly followed this advice: However, the drive took us 2 hours, there were petrol stations along the way, we ...

... Dog. Congratulations Natalie, Ibrahim and Gabriel we are very pleased for you and please send us some photos we cant wait to see our new niece. After a quick breakfast of toast and honey we hit the road and headed up the coast via the scenic East Coast route. The East Coast road to Whakatane is twice as long as the direct route across country but had a lot more historical Maori site along the way which is what we were traveling up the east coast to see.

I elected to sleep under the stars last night. It was a good idea in theroy. I was warned about bugs, but being from Canada, I opted to forget about bug dope. I was not botherdy by a single bug. The hard ground, the lack of a pillow, and more notably, the friggin dew, did keep me up all night. May sleeping bag was soaked. I had no trouble waking up at 4:00 because I ...

... of people every year to pony up $30.00 a pop to see constipated maggots. Brilliant. Mike also observed that the boats are propelled by the guides pulling on a cable mounted in the ceiling. He suggested to our guide that the cable should be converted into a zipline like Costa Rica (Mike loved ziplining when we were in Costa Rica). Seemed funny to us. One day we went into town and explored both blocks. There was actually a very nice bird sanctuary just outside of ...

The good, the bad, and rere rock slide. We found out one of the "101 must do in nz" is close to us (almost nothing is close to us, so this was good). The rere rock slide. After making use of local knowledge we discovered the only requirements are some sort of sliding device (air mattress, boogie board, wet-suit, inner tube, etc.) and massive stupidity. We, of course, went as soon as possible. The take on equipment is that wet suits are the fastest and an air ...

Hello everyone! WOW, the last few days have been absolutely amazing, just the kind of experience I've been wanting! Jenny and I left Taupo and ended up picking up another solo traveler, a Canadian named Josh. He's been the perfect addition to our little travelling group, as he has the same sense of adventure as I do. And, the weather has been great, so that helps as well. We've gone on some amazing hikes (off the trail of ...

... is also the Shawn the Prawn driving range. People drive golf balls off a tall tower into the prawn pools. There are yardage markers in the middle of each pool. Each marker has a hole in it; if you get your ball in any one of these holes, you win a cash prize. The prawn fish and pay area is thankfully located away from the prawn driving range. It's ironic that after all the hours Mike and I spent fishing for trout at ...

... wat aantrekkelijks... Zou er wat tussenliggen?.... En voor ik het wist was ik aan het strandjutten. Mijn doel was een mooie haaietand te vinden (ik heb al gezien hoe iemand daar een ketting van wist te maken en dat leek me niet al te moeilijk) of op zijn minst een mooie schelp, zoals de paua-schelp.<br>Nee, geen mooie, bijzondere schelpen te zien. Wel mooie stenen, maar om de een of andere reden vind ik erg veel stenen erg mooi en heb ik mezelf op Waiheke al moeten ...
