... in an out of Brazil - think its to larger distance to drive.

Spain - 3 weeks
{Spike: (only thing about 3 weeks here will be the cost- my mate went there and its 8 bucks for a beer and 8 x 50 is heaps).
Dave: Was pretty cheap to buy at the supermarket - a litre of gin was 8 bucks. But yeah I do know what you mean. I will flick raton an email and see what he recons - or whats worth seeing, or if he is even ...

I got the intercity bus, the stupid 'naked bus' (the easyjet of the bus world) let me book and PAY for me and my bike and then when I turned up at 7.05AM the driver said they never take over sized item on this route!

Thankfully I only had to wait an hour for the intercity and they took me and my bike. The driver was a bit weird, he stalked up and down the coach at one point (the bus was stopped ...

Zion gardens were amazing and the White Lions and Tigers just magnificent. The keepers were in with lots of them interacting and and feeding them. Next time maybe we will have a encounter with them where you go into the cages with them and stroke them and have photos!!!! Had a night in Waipo Cove and had brekkie there then set off to Mangawhai and a fantastic walk ...

Heading back south I pulled in to Whangarei for the night. It was lucky I did in the end as after I had found the campsite I went out in the van to go and book a trip down some caves. As I started the van the fan belt was making a bit of a squeak by the time I got out onto the road it was positively howling and the battery light was just glimmering on... Ah nuts! As it ...

... land of people holding out pie's & warm drinks. As I arrived the sign said 'Welcome to Waipu a Hundred thousand welcomes' I though one would have done but it is always nice to welcomed. The town was paved normally and unusually by NZ standards had no obvious signs of pie shops but it had a cafe and that had lasagna and less traffic (especially in the cafe). I t also stopped raining briefly, so all in all, Waipu was pretty good.

... dive' maken. Ik heb deze maar geboekt en dus sta ik vandaag klaar om 7:10 om opgepikt te worden. Rond 7:20 worden we opgehaald en zitten in een gecharterde taxi naar Tukaka waarvandaan de tours vertrekken. Na de formaliteiten en uitleg over de apparatuur en passen gaan we op de boot. Ik voel mij een groentje tussen anderen die soms honderden duiken over de hele wereld hebben gemaakt. Een groep heeft vandaag de laatste ...

... to it. A funky town centre and a cracking campsite within ten minutes walk has convinced us to take it easy for a couple of days and try to use all the gas in the communal barbecue. Yesterday we even climbed a mountain, which was, umm, rewarding. I mentioned the inconsistency of the New Zealand DoC before, and we experienced it again. At the base of Mount Manaia is a DoC sign stating that the climb demanded a "moderate" level of fitness and a circular route ...

... J Siinkohal taas tänud Kerdile, kelle koolituse läbinuna tundsime end väga hästi võrreldes ülejäänutega. Grupi reegel oli, et kui esimesel jääb õhku 100baari, siis tõustakse ca 5m peale ja seal veedetakse ülejäänud aeg. Loomulikult oli pilukal selle maadluse tulemusel 10 minutiga limiit käes ja instruktor kontrollis kõigi õhutagavara. Tuli välja, et meil oli teistest palju rohkem järgi ja me jätkasime instruktori soovitusel omapead. Ülejäänud grupp kamandati üles poole. Nähtud ...

... tumble dryers or washing lines (some of them even provide the pegs). There are TV lounges where you can watch TV while you plug your mobile or your camera in to charge them up. Alternatively, you can plug them in in the kitchen while you cook your dinner. We don't have a power hookup so we will need to do this from time to time. We have lights in the spaceship though and it runs on a dual battery so you don't have to worry about the van not starting up if you watch ...
