  • Visiting a Natural Cathedral We had been to the grounds of the Government Gardens in the evening, but had not yet gone inside the Rotorua Museum of Art and History located on the grounds. It was converted from an 1880’s hospital which used mud Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 7, 2009
  • Sold my pride to the dirt I’m learning that the lessons of life are not always about how to live, but how not to die. To be honest, I’m frustrated that my first writing about New Zealand will be one of shattered pride and crushed spirits, Posted by adica in Adica's Adventure | Nov 5, 2009
  • What Planet is This? We’re now in Rotorua, an area just north of Taupo. It has the most energetic thermal activity in the country. Our sinuses are clearing up just in time for us to enjoy the rotten egg smell of the sulphide gas Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 5, 2009
  • In Brief: North Island Back to NZ, much less trouble at the airport. How to get around here? New Zealand's specialty are backpackers' buses. This is like a regular bus line crossed with a tour. You trave Posted by wedrowycz in My Walkabout | Nov 4, 2009
  • Bye bye New Zealand, Hello Oz! Hello everyone! I just thought I would do a quick update on my departure from New Zealand. I'm flying off to Oz tomorrow (my birthday, in case anyone has forgotten!!) so this is my last full day. I have loved Posted by Abilucy in Abi's grand adventure! | Nov 3, 2009
  • Our Journey to Mordor... jeannine and I both loved The Lord of the Rings trilogy of movies. It’s pretty neat finding spots where they were filmed. Today we drove south to Tongariro National Park which served as the land of Mordor in the movie. Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 3, 2009
  • Of Glowing Worms and Dark Caves We have finally arrived at our last destination… New Zealand. Jeannine’s college friend, Franz, picked us up at the airport in Auckland and we spent two days meeting his family and seeing Auckland. Franz told us that since he Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 2, 2009
  • Eleni Caught a Fish!!! Thanks to Theo (Greek for Uncle) Dimitri we found out that the local angler's association were having a kids fishout on Sunday. So on a very warm and sunny afternoon we signed up for the fishout licence, paid our money and Posted by JenniM in It's a New Beginning | Nov 2, 2009
  • Bits and pieces of New Zealand! [b]Découverte de la Nouvelle Zélande du Nord au Sud (malheureusement je n'ai de photos numériques que de l'île du Nord) Le point le plus au nord de la Nouvelle Zélande... [img Posted by lodbarrois in Teacher around the world | Nov 1, 2009
  • Dunedin by: Tami After our fantastic stay in Oamaru, we were quite disheartened by the extremely high prices and low quality of the sleeping options in Dunedin. It was Labour Day Weekend, so not only was it crowded but the prices Posted by RTMM in Where Are We Going | Oct 30, 2009
  • Oamaru by: Tami In researching our next stop, Oamaru, we were not expecting much. Lonely Planet described a slow moving town with a questionably glamorous history of refrigerated-meat shipping. Sounds like loads of fun, huh? However, we had heard Posted by RTMM in Where Are We Going | Oct 30, 2009
  • Super cool fun on the Glacier. Hi Guys! How you all doing?? Can you believe its only been two and a half weeks since I left???? Me either! Feels like months, and I am definitely starting to find me feet with this travelling lark! So I left you Posted by Abilucy in Abi's grand adventure! | Oct 31, 2009
  • Kaikoura and the Rangitata River We both completely fell for Kaikoura - a coastal town just north of Christchurch which is teeming with marine life. A deep drop in the ocean floor unusually close to the shore brings amazing sea mammals like sperm whales, killer Posted by Ross-Lori in Ross & Lori | Oct 31, 2009
  • A Shower In Queenstown by: Ryan I just finished showering in what might be the world's smallest shower stall. The experience made me laugh, so I thought I would share it with all of you. I realize that I am a large person (even by Posted by RTMM in Where Are We Going | Oct 29, 2009
  • Hostelling Hi folks. Last night I stayed in a hostel in Auckland. It was about 2am and a person came into the dorm. Probably just off the plane from Asia I guess. It was dark, he looked short and had black Posted by danharris in Hopping back on the bus! | Oct 29, 2009
  • Almost Done Well I'm nearing the end of my graduate diploma. Having got almost all of my essays and assignments back now, I'm not too worried about exams. I think I currently sit on a B+ average for this semester, which surprises Posted by Asfaloth in A Stroll in the Park | Oct 29, 2009
  • Funtimes in Windy Welly! Hello everyone!! Sorry it's been a while since my last blog, I have done loads, so I'm sure this will satisfy your appetite for my adventures!! So I finally left Taupo after many attempts and arrived in Napier just in time to Posted by Abilucy in Abi's grand adventure! | Oct 27, 2009
  • Wanaka and the west coast As all three Lord of the Rings films were shot in New Zealand, we booked ourselves on a "Safari of the Scenes" which took us to the films' top locations. Even the ride was great fun as we off-roaded straight Posted by Ross-Lori in Ross & Lori | Oct 24, 2009
  • Queenstown Well, we said watch this space (and that was more so we didn't scare our mums before we did it!) but at 15,000 feet over the Remarkables mountain range - used as Mordor in the Lord of the Rings films Posted by Ross-Lori in Ross & Lori | Oct 24, 2009
  • Christchurch by: Tami As I said in my last post, we were very sad to leave beautiful Kaikoura. However, we were very much looking forward to visiting Christchurch. Most tourists head to this city of 350,000 for its cosmopolitan vibe Posted by RTMM in Where Are We Going | Oct 23, 2009
  • Kaikoura by: Tami I just realized today that our family has not added a single post from the South Island. Not very good blogging form I suppose, as our last post described our family's close brushes with disaster. Please accept Posted by RTMM in Where Are We Going | Oct 23, 2009
  • Taupo - Highs and Lows Hey people! Hope you're all having a good week, it's Thursday already here, so I've been in NZ a week, feels like sooo much longer! I arrived in Taupo on Monday afternoon after a short bus ride from Rotorua, which was Posted by Abilucy in Abi's grand adventure! | Oct 21, 2009
  • Here at last Well, we finally made it! After a reasonably unsuccessful wine tasting escapade (I had to drive so my intake was limited!) in Oz we made the trip into Sydney to catch our flight out to New Zealand. The trip into Posted by philnlisa in Phil & Lisa go to New Zealand (slowly!) | Oct 20, 2009
  • Welcome (?) to New Zealand You never manage to make the first impression again.... and New Zealanders perfectly missed their first chance. I spent nearly three hours at the airport Customs. First, waiting an hour in line to the passport control and then... looking at my Posted by wedrowycz in My Walkabout | Oct 19, 2009
  • Auckland & the South Island's east coast We were all set to say goodbye to South America, when we were offered money to stay! As we prepared to board our flight in Santiago, Chile, we were told the airline had overbooked so if we would wait until Posted by Ross-Lori in Ross & Lori | Oct 18, 2009
