Some dream to share with

2nd Week It was cold on the day i start the tour, on a scenic bus, costly but worth of it. Tour Guide @ bus driver is funny & nice & willing to let ur down anytime we wanna take a photo, or he introduced something he proud of to us, so the trip actually took about 2 hours, rather than the 1 1/2 hrs. And it start raining & snowing on ...

Wow, its been a while since I updated this, I hope both of our avid readers are still checking regularly! From Wanaka we headed to nearby Queenstown, but we ended up in a ****** central hostel with no sound proofing and surrounded by pubs full of adventure seeking adrenaline junkies who were drinking and singing until the small hours of the morn...

Went swimming with Hector dolplhins in Akaroa. After an hour of so of zooming around in the speed boat trying to find a group of dolphins that seemed curious enough to let us swim with them, we finally got to slip into the cold water and give it a go. Basically they had us try to form a rough circle in the water and make lots of noise by turnin...

I'd been wanting to head down to the Banks Peninsula for a while, as it was Brenda's favourite part of New Zealand, and she said it was very beautiful. Frenchfest provided me with the perfect excuse to go for the weekend. Akaroa is NZ's only French settlement - whilst the French were sheltering from high winds, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed ...

Went swimming with Hector dolphins yesterday (Monday) it was fantastic they are the smallest dolphins in the world and local to this area of New Zealand. It was a pod of about 20 and they swam around and in between our group. Staying in a great hostel Chez le Mer Backpackers which is well worth staying in, am going to walk up to the hills to get...

This morning we left Christchurch and took the "scenic" route to Akaroa, also known as the ooooo what's down this road route. We went through Lyttelton and around the cauldera to Diamond Harbour where there is nothing except a "wharf" which is more like a dock. From there we went to "Port" Levy, which is a couple of fallen over broken pier pilin...

DEUTSCH WEITER UNTEN 20th to 21st August - Swimming with Dolphins in Akaroa We leave Christchurch and have a very scenic drive to the Bank Penisular to our destination, Akaroa. On the way not only do we get some great views but we also get some free Mulled Wine and Cheese as a local restaurant, its hard life being a backpacker. Akaroa itself is ...

Friday March 19th It turns out that if I had left yesterday and gone like a bat out of hell up the coast I would have been able to see Meat Loaf's final concert of his world tour in Christchurch. Instead I decided to stay in Dunedin to see the penguins and albatrosses, but not the world's steepest street. I wasn't sad, as two out of three ain't ...
