Ja to mam jednak wiecej szczescia niz rozumu! W czwartek wieczorem moj lot (opozniony ze 2 godziny) byl jedynym jaki odlecial z Wellington pomimo fatalnej pogody; wynajetym samochodem nie rozbilam sie pomimo ruchu lewostronnego, kierownicy po prawej stronie (z kierunkowskazem po prawej i wycieraczkami po lewej) i automatycznej skrzyni biegow; w ...

The pain of being in Australia without Jethro was too much to bear so without further ado we headed straight over to Cairns airport to try and get a stand-by flight to New Zealand. We made up some cock and bull story about an old aunt in NZ being very ill but it was all to no avail as we soon learnt that airlines don't do stand-bys and haven't d...

Stopped here on our way to mount Cook, a bit of a wierd little town!!!

Happy Easter, a day of walking with amazing views and scoffing chocolate easter eggs x Sunday 23rd March 2008: EASTER SUNDAY. Got up and left for Mt Cook in time for a walk and lunch there. It was a gloriously sunny day and on the way there we really noticed the change in seasons as there were some beautifully coloured autumnal leaves. We did a ...

We had loads of time before winter fest began so we decided to travel up to mt Cook as it was only a couple of hours away. The area is as you would expect amazing Blue lakes white snow capped mountains, post card perfect. We did a couple of walks while we were there and stayed the night in a rest area.

We for once stayed in bed a wee bit longer - 7 a.m. - but with days being shorter here it's probably a good idea to get an early start! The morning was slightly cloudy, but still blue skies were in sight way off the in the distance. The plan was to head to Lake Tekapo to "Air Safaries" - same "flight seeing" service we took here almost over 20 y...

Twizel is a small town nestled at the bottom of the Southern Alps, the home of Mount Cook, New Zealand's highest mountain. Formerly a temporary settlement for the 1000's of folk working on the local hydro electric dam in the 60's it has reinvented itself as a centre of tourism. OK enough of the history. We stopped over for a few days, primarily ...

Hi I'm back again Was dropped off at Christchurch Airport and picked up a car for the next few days. Started off by driving south the east coast to a place called Geraldine. Then it was inland to lake Tekapo and MacKenzie country, green rolling hills with a backdrop of snow capped mountains. On the shores of lake Tekapo in a church it has no sta...

We departed from Queenstown on Thursday as it was sucking every penny out of us with all it's tempting adventure activities. The weather has got a lot better (about 20 degrees yesterday) however if you are travelling down to the Milford Sounds you still need to carry snow chains with you, if you get caught without it's a $750 fine ouch! So we de...
