  • Almost to the South Island It seems like the entire journey thus far has been nothing but a rush to get to the South Island, and I suppose that's a shame. It didn't help that we lost almost two days because I was sick. Posted by ChrisAlis in New Zealand?? Really?? | Nov 16, 2009
  • It's An Adventure It took awhile because I (Alison) got sick Vegas-style. But we've moved on. Auckland was fine but not much different than any other city. Same crappy radio as the US with hideous morning DJs. McDonalds, Burger King, KFC on every Posted by ChrisAlis in New Zealand?? Really?? | Nov 16, 2009
  • We're Here!! We left Seattle at 12:40 PM Wednesday, November 11th. We flew Virgin Atlantic to LAX and it was incredible. The lighting, the in-flight entertainment (all the music!), the seat space, the technology. The two and half hour flight seemed like Posted by ChrisAlis in New Zealand?? Really?? | Nov 16, 2009
  • New Zealand vol.1 Hello again! Finally, Auckland! I arrived last Sunday, a bit confused about time and dates, Saturday disappeared in the Pacific somewhere. A lot has happened the last week, so this is going to be a pretty long blog, sorry for Posted by AnnePanne in Down Under & Asia 2009/2010 | Nov 16, 2009
  • Part time work in New Zealand Hi. I will be in New Zealand from mid March til Mid June (3 months), and am considering getting a working visa. Can anyone give me any advice on how easy it will be to pick up a job in Posted by JenniferR in New Zealand work, jobs, make money | Nov 16, 2009
  • Bait and Switchback Jeannine and I found a little stone Anglican Church to go to Sunday services. It was a tiny congregation and the people were warm and inviting. After church we stopped for a bite to eat at a local French restaurant Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 16, 2009
  • Farewell Breakfast Having fun with Jane's friends before we're off. [img=http://photos.travellerspoint.com/253912/DSCF5052.jpg thumb=http://photos.t Posted by funkyfairy in D and J take on USA | Nov 15, 2009
  • Queenstown and Fox Glacier by: Tami We haven't posted anything in a while, so I decided I'd post a quick update. Queenstown was not only scenic but also a lot of fun with the downhill luge, zoom bungy and jet boating.

  • A town fit for a Queen It’s been some time since our last bicycle fix and we sought out a bike rental shop in Queenstown. We knew better than renting a tandem again and got two mountain bikes instead. There is a nice trail that follows Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 14, 2009
  • Fumbling toward Milford Jeannine has had a few must-see sights on her list for a while…things like the Taj Mahal, the pyramids in Egypt, and Milford Sound. She can finally cross Milford off the list because today was set for a cruise at Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 13, 2009
  • Doin' Dunedin The trip from Christchurch to Dunedin is only supposed to take around four and a half hours. But, the GPS can’t calculate stops to see the beauty of South Island. So four and a half is more like six and Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 12, 2009
  • Te Anau and Milford Sound by: Madeline For three nights we stayed in a small city called Te Anau. We went to Te Anau so we could visit either Milford or Doubtful Sound. We ended up going on a Nature Cruise around Milford Sound. Posted by RTMM in Where Are We Going | Nov 9, 2009
  • New Zealand flowers On Sunday we attended the historic Holy Trinity Cathedral's morning service. Pictured below is the inside and outside fo the cathedral. We later walked through The Doman, a large park in Auckland. Here are some treats from the walk. [img=http://photos. Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 9, 2009
  • Birdwatching on the Thames Today is Saturday and in the quaint town of Thames it is time for the outdoor market on Pollen Street. People were selling everything from used books and knitted socks to honey and old tools. This part of town was Posted by Aeren in China and beyond 2009 | Nov 7, 2009
  • 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
