My final day in the UK

... need the hassle! Not that I was worried as I was totally innocent of course!
Overall I probably got about 4 hours sleep over the course of my 30-odd hours of travel.
Rob was at the airport to greet me. The weather was clear as we approached Christchurch and I could see the mountains spreading out before me although I wasn't next to the window. I had requested an aisle seat all the way as I had felt so cramped going over being next to the window, at least this ...

New Zealand - Chapter One

... started to die, so I had to steal pictures off Paige. After we got back into town we picked up our bags from the hostel and trekked to the car rental agency, where we had a nice little white Mazda waiting for us. Unfortunately, since Paige is only 20, only I was able to drive without us paying the extra insurance fees, so I faced the challenge of driving on the left side of the road. We had a few crazy screeching minutes where we thought ...

South Island Scenic Tour

... some photo's before the ride back. The sea was a bit choppy on the ride back, and their sea-sickness warning came to fruition when several people were very ill during the journey. Whilst Mel felt a bit sick, she made it back okay but was very glad to be on dry land again. In the afternoon we took a scenic walk (almost a climb at points) from South Bay along the cliff-top which had some amazing views which couldn't be fully captured in our photo's, but we did try ...

How sweet as is my life!?!?!

... Andy. You think a little detour over to New Zealand would be possible? Hahaha. So that meant I couldn't surprise phone call dad on his cell, but I was glad to hear that he's using his vacation time to actually go somewhere. I am officially done Mackers (McDonalds) on the 20th!!!!!!!!!!! JOY!!! And I have been back and forth about throwing a party. First it was just going to be for fun at the end of Feb. Then it was going to be formal the first weekend of March, then ...

Am 3. Feb machten wir dann unsre letzte Magic Bus Tour nach Christchurch, von wo wir dann auch wieder Richtung Brisbane flogen. Nachdem wir in christchurch ankamen schauten wir etwas die Stadt an mit dem riesigen Botanischen garten, die Stadt ist ebenfalls im Englischen Stiel gebaut. Am 4. Feb gingen Simon und ich dann zum Scholle in Blenheim (anderer Bericht). Am Do 5. Feb kamen wir auch schon wieder aus Blenheim zurueck und am Abend gingen wir ins Kino in Gran Torino, einem ...

Christchurch City We had a bit of a lay in this morning as I think we were tired from the big drives of the last 2 days. First job was to move the campervan to a better pitch. We had been given one that was next to the Dump Station and the Laundry with people walking past all the time and peering in. Once that was sorted we took the short bus ride into the City. We got talking to an English couple ...
