  • Jess' Second Entry Hello Again! And all that waiting has finally payed off! We have landed in New Zealand at Christchurch, on a chilly but beautiful day. As we entered New Zealand, we could see all the lovely South Alps. They Posted by jro-blog in JRO - NZ | Oct 10, 2009
  • Gannets at Cape Kidnappers by: Madeline A few days ago when we were in Napier we went to Cape Kidnappers. We went to see the plateau gannet colony who stay at Cape Kidnappers while breeding. There were supposed to Posted by RTMM in Where Are We Going | Oct 9, 2009
  • Day Twenty Three Most people have a restless night before needing to get up early for a flight. I do every single time and last night was no different. Auckland with current daylight savings is 3 hours ahead of Townsville – Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Oct 8, 2009
  • Day Twenty Two It is a week after we have returned home - this was a wonderful last day in New Zealand a day trip to the beach in our bago. No rain last night. It was cool, but not cold and we Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Oct 8, 2009

  • The Next Time by: Ryan I have always considered myself the type of person who would try just about anything if given the opportunity. And if the activity had a high degree of danger with the accompanying adrenaline rush, all the better. So, I Posted by RTMM in Where Are We Going | Oct 1, 2009
  • Day Twenty One It rained intermittently today, with a bit of wind to keep things interesting. We caught a bus downtown this morning from the camp ground, which took an hour. It was an interesting drive in that we sat amongst Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Oct 1, 2009
  • Day Twenty The rain throughout the night meant that our last night spent in Rotorua was quite warm. It is still a pain though, but I guess if it didn’t rain New Zealand wouldn’t look as lush and bright green Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 30, 2009
  • Day Nineteen We had a rain free 140km drive to the Whakapapa Villlage in the Tongariro National Park. The drive took us through lots more farmland and past quite a few small hydro-electric stations along the way. It was cloudy Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 29, 2009
  • Our First Week in New Zealand by: Tami We left Seattle Wednesday night at 7:00 pm and arrived in Auckland Friday morning at 7:00 am.

  • Day Eighteen It poured rain most of the night. Heavy rain. It stopped briefly when we woke up and did our toileting without getting soaked again. Suffice to say we didn’t get to walk around New Plymouth. There Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 29, 2009
  • Day 0 (or is it -1) Big Day in the Air (and Airports) Flight from Christchurch to Sydney is just a warm up for us really. This sort of (3 hour) flight is fairly familiar to us. Across the Tasman is no sweat really. So the flight consists of us getting the hang Posted by andertonz in Noel and Ruth escape to Europe | Sep 29, 2009
  • New Zealand, sheep and the vibrating town of Shumbi I have been very slack in writing up this blog, which is a shame because our New Zealand trip isn't as fresh in my mind any more now we have left. We were sponsored for this journey Posted by monkeyboy1 in Monkey boy's travels | Sep 28, 2009
  • Day Seventeen Daylight savings start in New Zealand today. Now we are 3 hours ahead of what we would be back home. Losing the hour today was a bummer , but there was more light whilst camped at the motorpark Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 27, 2009
  • Day Sixteen “Absolutely, Positively, Wellington!” What can I say other than I really love this place! Sure it has alot of one way streets and more hills than the Himalayas, but I could see myself here. Saturday was a Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 27, 2009
  • Day Fifteen The sky is overcast today, but the rain stays away - time to explore the nation’s capital. Well after going around and around the one way streets of Wellington one time too many, we go and park near Te Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 25, 2009
  • Day Fourteen After a long afternoon drive yesterday afternoon we were glad to make it to Otaki Beach. That is before we got out of the van. We had read all the brochures and the place that looked a picture Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 25, 2009
  • Day Thirteen To orient ourselves on Napier and its position on Hawkes Bay, we drove up to the Bluff Hill Domain and Lookout. Situated directly over the Port of Napier (can’t actually see the town CBD), you look northwards towards Gisborne. Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 25, 2009
  • Day Twelve After some light rain overnight, we awoke to fog and an overcast sky. It was cold also. The park we stayed at was pretty busy and with New Zealand school holidays starting next week, the town is gearing Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 25, 2009

  • Final Thoughts on New Zealand I planned the first leg of my trip with very little preliminary research. Now its true that New Zealand was on my radar solely for the purpose of skiing in what I deem summer. But from there, my Posted by efstein in The Thing Speaks for Itself | Sep 23, 2009
  • Day Ten We woke up this morning after a very cool evening (we had the heater on all night) to clear blue skies. We got an early start as we wanted to visit the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland which is 27kms south Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 20, 2009
  • Day Nine Waihai Beach Top 10 Holiday Park definitely had the best facilities for us out of all the parks thus far. Sam loved the heated pool and Pat loved the Jumping Pillow and Under 5's Room. Paul got to stroll Posted by petty1912 in The Travelling Boomsticks | Sep 20, 2009
