The Bay of Islands

16th and 17th Feb..... the Amazing Bay of Islands.. can it get any better? Luckily, we booked our place in Paihia for two nights, as it was full when we arrived - it was called Capt. Bob's Beachhouse - it was a great spot - ocean views and brilliant sunsets - we could eat supper and breakfast out on the balcony looking out to sea - the place was a real gem - spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It took us 4 hours to drive from Auckland but, the road was very good - motorway out of the city ...

Travels in New Zealand

... My favourite was along the roadside by a small shop in the middle of nowhere - "Last Cheese for Miles". We didn't stop.... Carol liked one outside a butchers shop - "Home Kills Processed". We tried to imagine this in the UK..."I've got this spider, weapon of choice a rolled up newspaper. What can you do for me?" Cold here, even though the skies are blue. We move on to Tahiti tomorrow, it's a hard life, this one.....

Bay of Islands

Well, we are now in New Zealand, 4 million people, 40 million sheep. It's a lot colder and wetter here but the scenery is much better. We arrived in Auckland, NZ's capital city which is kind of small. NZ dollars have a much better exchange rate than aussie dollars so luckily for us that makes everythign quite cheap around here, a bonus for our wallets. We spent a few days in Auckland just gettign to know it, the central area is not actually very big so it didn't take long ...

DAYS 28 and 29

... reception area and our balcony is too nice to leave for that! A lazy evening - Stan cooked baby racks of lamb on the BBQ and I roasted ratatouille veggies, washed down with copious amounts of Montana Sauvignon, which we founded for $8NZ (about ₤3) and something red. After that we had a walk along the beach - the water is really warm - and then a bit of telly and a book and bed. A good, very good day. I like it here.

Glowing Maggot Poo and Yeast Pee

... so far has been the trip to the Waitomo Glow Worm caves. Glow worms are the larvae of the fungus gnat (fly) that have innards that give off a greenish light. Floating on a boat through these dark caves with thousands of glow worms above us was quite amazing. Their many fascinating characteristics include: · Eggs are laid in groups of 30, and the first few that hatch eat the remaining 27 or 28 eggs as their first meal (kind of puts the fights in ...

Weekend Adventure Hamilton and Beyond.

We hired a car for the weekend from Apex Car Rentals in Auckland City, reasonable price, nice car, my only complaint is the car had to be returned on Sunday by 5pm there is no after hours drop off. We set out from Henderson and drove to Hamilton. The plan was to go to the zoo, gardens, on a boat trip along the Waikato River and see the Riff Raff Statue. It rained all the way but it is winter and the temperature is still 15 degrees so can't really complain ...

Some Things I've Learned In A Short Time

So, I've only been here for about two days, but I have already learned a decent amount of random things. Some things I like, and some I do not like, but here are some so far... 1. The weather is absolutely gorgeous. 2. Almost everything here is fairly expensive. When you use the computer lab, (like I am now), you have to type in your username and password if you go on a website other than the university website and you get ...

A Day in Raglan

Not exactly up with the lark this morning. Fi's cold has taken hold so lots of coughing during the night. I of course do the decent thing and kick her out of bed into the spare single. In the corner. Where I demand she be quiet! So much for King and Castle because of course she ignores me. Drove over to Raglan, a nice seaside town. Much of the drive was on "unsealed roads" - thats ...

Loop in the North

... mais le spa etant ouvert jusque 22 heures nous avions tout le temps d'en profiter. Malgre le fait que ce Spa soit en plein air et que le temps n'etait pas exceptionel, nous etions loin d'avoir froid. Dans la piscine la plus froide l'eau etait de 31 degrees. Le bassin le plus chaud etait de 48 degrees. Celui ci etait vide car 48 degrees, on ne peux pas y laisser son doigt plus de 5 secondes! Il y avait egalement des toboggans et une piscine-cinema (on aura tout vu!). C'etait ...
