Today we visited Hobbiton and it was very fun. Ems and I were like small children and we learnt a lot about ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy. Today we begun by checking out of the Nomads: Fat Camel and picking up our rental beast!

Today we had a lay in and it was lovely. After a few days of early mornings and long days of travelling it is nice to finally relax and just have a chill. We decided to go and see the Sky Tower today and it really did have epic views. Following the Sky Tower weContinueContinue reading “Ems and Bex on Tour: Auckland Sky Tower”
Ems and Bex on Tour: Auckland Zoo & Waterfront
After getting up early to move the Big Rig, we went in search of breakfast before heading to the outskirts of the city and the Zoo. It was all very easy to work with apart from a horrendous set of traffic lights which we sat at for ages before deciding that we’d find another wayContinueContinue reading “Ems and Bex on Tour: Auckland Zoo & Waterfront”
Ems and Bex on Tour: Wellington – Auckland
Ems and I began the day early, at 7 am, as we had to go and get our hire car. You can hire a car from various car rental companies through a ‘Relocation Deal’ and it doesn’t cost you anything other than the fuel…Epic, I know. We walked to the office wondering which vehicle we’dContinueContinue reading “Ems and Bex on Tour: Wellington – Auckland”

Tongariro Alpine Crossing
Since being in New Zealand and reading about all of the trekking opportunities there were here, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing seemed like a good idea. It was long and tiring (i have managed to strain my knee a little bit) but it was nothing on the Himalayas! It was most definitely and totally worth it in theContinueContinue reading “Tongariro Alpine Crossing”
Shake, rattle and roll
At 3.52 pm this afternoon we had a lovely long rumble in Wellington, courtesy of ‘The Ring of Fire’ that we sit upon. I was sat chilling in my room when the building began to rumble…and it went on for a good while! Normally you’d feel the quake, it registers, you begin to act uponContinueContinue reading “Shake, rattle and roll”
Diving with Island Divers
As I have just joined their club, this morning I went diving with Island Bay Divers. It was great fun but I let myself down a bit by having a bit of a panic attack under the water…ho hum… We dived at a site called ‘Kau Bay’, which is on the end of the MiramarContinueContinue reading “Diving with Island Divers”

There are three teams in the Richter City Roller Derby League:- Smash Malice- Comic Slams- Brutal Pageant Most of the bouts were fairly evenly matched, with both teams giving as good as they could. Some of theContinueContinue reading “Derby rotten scoundrel”
