The morning stated bright, clear and cold. At 8am locals began setting up a market in the motel car park. These Sunday markets seem to spring up in rural areas and are a bit like mini car boot sales, with the usual car boot tat most of the time, only with added handicrafts of greenstone and glass. Anyway, we had a book round before breakfast, but after break we were off up the hill to see the pancake rocks in Paparoa National Park. These are natural formations that have been created by comple...

A full day in Christchurch today and plenty of things to be doing so no time to waste. All the action round here seemed to centre around Cathedral Square, and as this is only 10 mins walk from the hotel, we headed off down there. It's a holiday here and the place was very quiet, with just a few people about at 9.30am. However, we weren't hanging about and first trip out was to the International Antarctic Centre, which is located near the airport. We caught the shuttle bus, and as we were the ...

I am delighted to find that this hotel has a laundry room. Now normally laundry is not equal to excitement, but after this long on the road ( and we both tried very hard to pack light), everything we own is now starting to feel very lived in. So after breakfast laundry is high on my list. $4.00 a load for both the washer and the dryer, but I am still happy as it is way cheaper then sending out to the hotels laundry service. In between loads I download pictures (finally). Internet service is m...

Last stop, Christchuch! I've been told that Christchuch is the most "English" city in NZ. A quick ride on the city tram confirms this with numerous examples of 1800's architecture mixed in with the modern landscape. There are no high rise buildings in the city which is due to Christchurch also sitting atop of a 300M deep gravel bed which while limiting construction does act as a water filter. Christchurch tap water tastes better than any bottled water I've had. As any connoisseur knows, good...

This is the Maori equivalent to Aloha…it's used in greetings, as a sign of thanks, and to say see you later. So, it is with some sadness that I say Kia Ora.
Tonight is our last night in New Zealand. Yesterday, we left Franz Joseph and drove through Arthur’s Pass National Park to get back to Christchurch for a last couple of days before flying home.
On our drive up the west coast, we drove through the rainforest and came upon The Bushman’s Centre…an intere...

... a great photo - a little like being born, only the tunnel's bigger & you're older. Wow! What a view!! Hey, that guy's parked over our way a bit at the front of the tunnel. I'd better give hime some room. BANG! The covered wagon lurched and shuddered with the impact, as we exited the tunnel. "What was that?" yelled SquawJenny. "We just hit the tunnel." I said in the calmest voice I could muster. "S##T! yelled SquawJenny. Not in our cassette, I thought as I pulled off the road at ...

I've been here for about two months, without sharing anything. It would be impossible to begin at the beginning, but now you'll get a pleasant categorized overview of my life here so far. (I'll try to get some pictures, too) first, a bit about today: The sky is full of clouds like shells. Maori call them "pipi" clouds which translates to a kind of shell fish. They mean that the weather is about to change. The sky here is a different color from that of New ...

... to Christchurch. Next up, Penny, an amazingly friendly woman who unfortunately was only driving a little further. She listened to my plight, asked if I could ride horses and if I could, would have lent me her horse to ride the last 55km in the night....how cool would that have been?! But I can't ride so that was out - instead she & her father Selwyn lent me an old bike so with 55km to go and at 9 at night I started riding! That was a cool night ride, good ...

... pas le premier a ressentir ca, j'imagine que ceux qui ont fait ce genre de niaiserie ont du avoir un feeling similaire. Je penses a Cyril, a Anik entre autres. J'avais donc l'air d'un zombi et les gens me regardaient come si j'en etait un. Bref, petite terrasse branchee, Pasta 1-2-3 verres de vin et dodo a 20h00. Bonsoir, il est parti! Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzz Zzzzzz Grrronn Pfuuuuuu

... are the kinds of people I usually run into when I travel. I asked him his favorite place he's been, and he promptly responded London, which I thought was pretty interesting. I called it quits pretty early since there wasn't much going on and I had an early bus in the morning. At the hostel that night, shared a room with some of Salzy's Dartmouth brethren that night- two juniors who were heading back in a few days for their junior spring semester.
