Last night I finally finished uploading my many, many photos from New Zealand to my gallery, and a small selection to Facebook. Here are a few tasters, either click on the image or click “gallery” up the top to view them all:

Back in Sydney tonight. It’s very hot and humid compared to Queenstown!
Here is a picture! I’ll upload all my photos tomorrow, most likely.

I mentioned a couple of posts back that I have a compulsion to describe just how much I hate New Zealand’s stupid right of way road rules. Those of you who’ve driven here possibly understand the rage. For those of you who haven’t, let me try and explain how it works. Keep in mind vehicles [...]

Abel Tasman National Park was characterised by what seems to be our usual New Zealand weather pattern – grey, possibly a bit rainy and cold in the morning followed by beautiful blueness to finish off the day. Strange, since it looked so nice when we woke. Never mind.
After about an 8 hour drive down the [...]

Gee, I’ve been a bit slack with this haven’t I? I guess we’ve been a little bit too busy really. Since I last posted, we’ve been from Taupo to Tongariro National Park and then down to Wellington where we spent three days. We’ve crossed the Cook Straight on the Interislander and have now arrived in [...]

Tuesday kicked off with an unintentional two hour sleep in. Somehow during the night, my phone had decided that it had returned to Sydney and had adjusted its timezone accordingly. All well and good, except that we are very much still in New Zealand and had intended to be on the road by 9am. Never [...]

It’s a little bit hard to believe we only arrived in Auckland yesterday. What a day that was, though: quick SIM hunting in the city, delicious lunch at murderburger on the way out of town and then a two and a half hour drive to Whitianga.
Auckland seemed quite nice, we were both a bit regretful [...]

While my “One Week to Go!” post kind of shows the places we’re going in NZ,  it doesn’t really have dates. I thought it might be a good idea to post a list of dates for the places we’ll be heading to.
While we’re away, I’ll post some updates and photos and stuff here as we [...]

This afternoon was Reclaim the Lanes in Newtown. It kicked off around 2pm at The Hub and wandered through various laneway locations in the inner-west. Good music, great vibes, not too much rain and a whole bunch of wheelie-bin sound systems. I took a few photos – click on this one to get through to [...]

With just a week to go till we head off, I’m getting pretty excited about our New Zealand trip! Here, I took some pictures of places we’ll be going to off Google Earth. They’re in order of where we’re staying. Click for full size.
