- Christmas Down UnderIt's been 3 weeks so I guess it's time for an update.... On our way to see the Foo Fighters at Western Springs we got the call to say our tender had been accepted on the house! Now we just Posted by bumblebum in Migrating South | Dec 29, 2011

- Loving SouthlandLike said earlier, Dunedin wasn't anything special (except for the fact that Ipa finally found a proper wool shop!), and we ended up doing pretty much nothing while there. We met some of the frenchies from Treehugger's, but otherwise the Posted by judipa in Working New Zealand | Dec 27, 2011
- Christchurch and surroundings down to DunedinBefore arriving in Christchurch we'd seen a documentary about the earthquakes, including the fatal one in February this year, so we thought we knew what to expect.

- Entry 30: Smoked Mussels & The 309 to Hot Water BeachAm: The next day we had a quick drive around Thames, stocked up on food supplies (but didn't fill up on petrol- more on this later) and decided to drive up the coast to Coromandel town.

- Entry 27: The City of SailsAm: We flew into Auckland on the 19th of August at 4am ( we lost an entire day- you'll have to tell us what we missed on August the 18th) and caught the bus to our hostel. Thankfully there was 24 Posted by ajuandamanee in Am & Ajay's Big Phat RTW Trip | Aug 21, 2011

- Es ist nicht wo du bist, es ist was du machst. - Max HerreThe day after my visit to the doctor, I went all the way up to Cape Reinga, New Zealand's Northernmost point.
