My Birthday fell just after Labour Day Weekend this year. As we get a few days off, we decided to take a road trip to the South Island for an adventure. FRIDAY Leaving work and heading straight for the ferry terminal, we were both sat in the car excited to be going on holiday and havingContinueContinue reading “Birthday Weekender”

Hiking Mt. Holdsworth
Since coming to New Zealand I have really only completed one hike: The Tongariro Crossing in Tongariro National Park. I’ve been walking around Wellington, Snowboarding, Surfing, Paddle Boarding, Skydiving, Mountain Biking and Roller Skating, but not really completed any real hiking. I thought that this needed to be changed, so when James and his housemateContinueContinue reading “Hiking Mt. Holdsworth”
Rock & Roll Weekender
When James and I first met, he mentioned that he was going to a few gigs down in Christchurch and Dunedin (Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath). I said that it sounded very cool and he asked if I wanted to come along too (I think he thought I was more into heavy metal than I am). Obviously IContinueContinue reading “Rock & Roll Weekender”
Easter Weekend
As we have a lovely long weekend here for Easter, James and I thought we’d get out and actually do something or some things. Get out of the house and be active… Good Friday After having a long lay in we decided to take a drive out past Wainuiomata and see what we could findContinueContinue reading “Easter Weekend”
#HallsOnTour
I’m not sure theres a person alive who didn’t know about my parents upcoming trip to New Zealand. I certainly told anyone that would listen! We’ve been apart for 504 days (I put the dates into a nifty internet calculator and it told me the amount of days between the two dates) and sometimes itContinueContinue reading “#HallsOnTour”
I arrived!
I have arrived in Wellington! Woohoo. I had to take one flight from Bangkok to Sydney and then another to get me from Sydney to Wellington, but I arrived! The flights themselves were fab; lots of interesting things to watch on the personal television screens and lovely food and drink, and to make it evenContinueContinue reading “I arrived!”
Bangkok – Take four!
So back in Bangkok for a fourth time, I decided to go to one of the famous roof-top bars. However, as I don’t have a lot of money and most of the bars are super expensive, I opted for the roof-top bar at CentralWorld…its a shopping mall! It was amazing! You could see for milesContinueContinue reading “Bangkok – Take four!”
Leaving Koh Tao
After a gorgeous few days here in Koh Tao, it is unfortunately time to leave. I have really enjoyed spending time here, despite a few days of illness and the long winded way of getting here, it’s been bliss to just relax after all of the action! I do think, however, that I have somewhatContinueContinue reading “Leaving Koh Tao”
Diving in Koh Tao
As I now have an open water diving certification, I thought it might be fun to dive here in Koh Tao. As I didnt have a camera under the water with me, I have found a great website where you can see images of common marine life found around Koh Tao. Master-Divers has a greatContinueContinue reading “Diving in Koh Tao”
Bangkok to Koh Tao
After a very long night of travelling, first by Train from Bangkok to Chumphon, then by bus from Chumphon to the coast and finally by boat to the island, I arrived in Koh Tao. The journey really tired me out and I wasn’t feeling too bright, so the first thing that I did upon arrivingContinueContinue reading “Bangkok to Koh Tao”
