Honeymoon!

Over the Christmas break, James and I took our honeymoon. We rented a motorhome and camped around the South Island. James did most of the driving, but I drove a few times. We worked out that we drove roughly 4,178 km over the fifteen days. Our first day was a very short travel day, butContinueContinue reading “Honeymoon!”

My Sunny Weekend

This weekend James and I took off to the South Island for a friends wedding. The sun was shining, the views were spectacular…and the company wasn’t too bad either 🙂 Friday As we left Wellington the weather was stunning; we had bright sunshine and hardly a cloud in the sky. I even ventured to theContinueContinue reading “My Sunny Weekend”

New Years Road Trip

James and I took an epic road-trip over the North Island for the holidays. 27th December: Wellington-Taupo  Getting up and beginning a road-trip with the worst hangover I think i’ve ever had was not a very good idea!

I thought that this needed to be changed, so when James and his housemateContinueContinue reading “Hiking Mt. Holdsworth”

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!”
