I'm about ready to loosen my tight grip on my faithful hot water bottle and learn to once again relax in the vehicle without fear of being plowed over by some crazy Kiwi driver on the side of a mountain, In a week we'll be back in Canada and back to the lovely summer that we've been mising out on. The trip has been amazing but we're ready to co...

our adventure in 'baby' (Peter Archer's '88 Toyota Corrolla) has been fantastic. we've logged over 2000km (1,200 miles) and she's running strong. we left the sand fly infested west coast with bug bites galore and have become pro's at scratching while sleeping. i know you all feel so much pity for us here, we needed to tug at your heart strings f...

Bon blinkin jour... Well since i last typed.... I think i mentioned that i was going to work on a penguin reserve.. Well last saturday i embarked on my first hitch hiking mission.. It was sooo fun. Me and chris - a guy i met at the hostel - rocked out the hostel with a sign that i had made earlier and set off for the main road out of town. We we...

Akaroa is a great place: very twee and quite Gallic but I haven't actually spent all that much time here, shopping in th...

We left the campsite and stocked up on essentials....food, drink, adaoptor for ipod onto the van radio, then headed out of christchurch in only a semi-terrified state driving the van. I had to get used to driving something that is a heck of a lot longer and wider than the littel yaris, but once i had been driving it for a bit it wasn't too hard ...

We drove from Methven to Akaroa and took the scenic mountain drive to the harbour town. It was absolutely stunning scenery on the way in - glad Mum was driving though - there were some hairy moments on those mountain roads! We got to Akaroa and checked in to the campsite on the hill. It had great views over the harbour and was a lovely site. We ...
