The long-awaited burger trial took place earlier this evening. We opted to make the burgers here at home to avoid being forced to eat an overly greasy mess, or something else dodgy that you might find at any old burger place.

The burgers we assembled were c...

On Friday 10th July left the quiet town of Whitianga and headed to the lively town of Rotorua. Started the morning quite badly…..the Ravsta’s digestive system was still on Asia mode (unpredictable) and kind of held the bus up for a few extra minutes……driver wasn‘t pleased to say the least. On the way we stopped...

Kia Ora, zunaechst ein kleiner Witz. Die Polizei hat meinen Bruder in Deutschland aufgesucht um dort ein Schreiben via Amtshilfe fuer mich von einem georgischen Gericht zu ueberreichen. Sollten sie doch glatt die Taeter gefasst haben? Ob ich vor Gericht erscheinen soll? Und zahlen sie mir den Flug? Will ich ueberhaupt noch einmal nach Georgien? ...

Well, I've done my first week's work in my new job in Wellington, its gone pretty well so far. Was a bit of a shock to the system to get out the work clothes - and have to iron them. The big news is that we move into our rented house tomorrow (Saturday). Probably a relief to Lana and Todd who've kindly put us up for about 3 weeks, they'll go bac...

On the way out of Kaikoura we stopped at Ohau Point to look at the New Zealand Fur Seal (protected species) colony on the rocks. A little further on we got out of the bus at the Ohau Stream Walk. This is where the seal pups go inland up a stream approx. 100m from the shore to a pool at the bottom of a water fall. Last year there were plenty to s...

All too soon, our holiday was over. Luckily in New Zealand, 2nd Jan is also a public holiday so at least we had an extra day. We made our way back to Wellington, a 4hr drive, via a stop for lunch in Carteton and a stop for some fruit and veg at one of the numerous shops at the side of the road. Thursday and Friday, we were both at work but it wa...

We will be in Wellington for four days. The trip to Wellington from the south island at Picton took about 4 hours by ferry. It was a calm and windy ride. After we left the Marlborough Sounds (~1.5 hours) and headed into open sea, Lisa and I just found a large set of seats, leaned back, read and then slept for a bit. It was good to be crossing th...

I spent just over a week in Wellington and I could have quite happily stayed longer, in fact, if there was central heating and double glazing, I could probably live there. Disappointingly I never saw Ben 'blanket man' Hana living on the streets as some Irish guy in Rotorua had told me about, but I still did some fantastic things. Sunday 13th Tod...

2ter August bis 5ter August - Wellington Kein guter Start fuer Wellington, wir fuehlten uns Beide ziemlich mies! Ich hatte eine ziemlich schlimme Erkaeltung und Martha war die ganze Nacht schlecht. Die Reise im Bus war trotzdem nicht so schlimm und die Gegend war sehr schoen. Am naechsten Tag, nach der Ankunft, gingen wir auf eine kleine Stadtwa...

I loved traveling around the South Island, but there was something nice about coming back to Jill's place- it really has started to feel like home (but don't worry, I'm not moving here... yet). Since getting back, I've started to prepare for my departure! I developed my films (still figuring out how to filter through the 500 pictures I have on m...
