Hello! I feel like i haven't written a travelpod for ages so this is only going to be a short entry. I think i last wrote from Adelaide, or maybe Melbourne. We've done so much since then! We've basically spent all of our time catching up with friends that we've made while we've been away. First up in Melbourne was Amanda, she looked after us for...

We found ourselves with a few extra days in the itinerary, so we decided to circle back to Wanaka. This time around, we visited the local movie theatre - Cinema Paradiso to see the Bucket List. The cinema is notable, because the seats are all old couches, which makes for fun and comfortable movie viewing. We grabbed dinner at Bombay Place, an In...

OK - guess what the weather is like? Yes, another bright sunny day but with light, whispy clouds drifting down the lake below the mountain tops. I spoke with a lady who informed me that the weather TV had said it was down to 3 deg overnight. OK, weather change, time to move on but this time it's northwards. We left Queenstown and headed east, pa...

Getting on the bus to Wanaka, we managed to grab a couple of seats with extra leg room at the back and laid back for our journey, taking in the amazing scenery. Upon arriving in Wanaka, we were booked in for our skydive at a local company and at this point on the bus we weren't thinking too much about it. We weren't even feeling scared and so we...

Met up with my Flying Kiwi Tour in Queenstown and we headed out to Lake Wanaka for our first stop before heading into camp for the night at the edge of Lake Wanaka. Visited the blue pools and had lunch at Cameron Flat, which felt like something from the Sound of Music. After lunch went for a swim at Thunder Creek then camped for the night at Lak...

Tidligt op – sådan da. Kl 08:30 mødtes vi fire drenge med folkene fra ”Alpine Kayak Guides” i Wanaka. Sammen med dem og en Dea, som var holdets femte person, kørte vi til floden Clutha. Vi vidste godt, at det var ”bare” sit-on-top-kajakker, men vi blev nu positivt overraskede over kvaliteten med kraftig PE, ordentli...

Today was amazing! We spent the day rock climbing at a few crags near town. The weather was warm, sunny and beautiful Our Wanaka Rock guides were fun and they set up some easy and fun climbs for us. Later in the afternoon they showed us some excellent swimming spots in area rivers. The water was cold, yet so refreshing. During the evening the gr...

So, after cooking up a pretty good cooked breakfast - avoiding the condom and the pools of water from the leaking freezer as best we could - we set off north once again to the heart of the Southern Alps. The drive up to Queenstown was attended by better weather on the way down which made the landscape even more impressive. At one point we passed...

So here I am. Stuck in a room by myself, trying to contain my sickness. Fevered out, swollen limph nodes, sore throat, the whole thing. Woot woot. Its definetely not the late nights at the bars and the early mornings at the doughbin. Def not. But i have way too much time to do nothing right now so I will write some more. I really don't know if a...

Wanaka I only had a couple of days in wanaka, so I needed to make the most of them and make the most of the pant wettingly scary activities and pursuits on offer! So after some careful deliberation, I opted for the ´Siberian experience´ for the first day! This started out with a light aircraft trip, (which I'm sure I saw them refueling with logs...
