April 15, 2005The EndOf course, it's not the end, merely the beginning in looking for a job, finding a place to live and doing all sorts of grown-up things like pay bills and get a mortgage, but from now on, my feet are...Read this update Day 189: London baby!We dragged our bags to the bus stop and didn't have to wait long. As we came to HK when it was dark, it was interesting to see the views and I was struck again by how Hong Kong is...Read this update Day 188: MuseumsOn our last day, we went to the Museum of Art, which has great views of Victoria Harbour and some good works, though it wasn't the best museum we'd ever done....Read this update Day 187: MTRWe were planning to go to the Ngo Ping monastery today, but when we got out of the MTR (mass transit rail) it was raining and very grey and we weren't really prepared, so we headed back... The MTR is...Read this update Day 186: Kowloon ParkWe had a late breakfast at Oliver's which seems to have become our regular spot. We went on the internet and had a look at the bookshop next door, which stocked quite a lot of English language books....Read this update Day 185: Peak tramWe sort of pottered about in the morning, neither of us ready to face the day and get into sightseeing mode. After nearly seven months of travel, the spark has gone out a bit and both of us are now...Read this update Day 184: Central and AdmiraltyWe headed out for some breakfast, finding a place called Oliver's Super Sandwiches, which has nice toasties and fresh juice. I was having some difficulties with the Hong Kong English of the girl but then, my Cantonese is pretty appalling...Read this update April 11, 2005Day 183: Fly awayThe final leg of our Round the World adventure kicked off by taking a shuttle to the airport. We checked in with what seemed like a blonde Russian lady who had serious problems with the basics of the English language....Read this update Day 182: last day in KiwilandWe didn't do too much noteworthy today, just had a nice lunch, spent some time on the internet and saw 'Assault on Precinct 13' at the cinema, which was pretty good....Read this update Day 181: AucklandWe drove to the airport, stopping briefly at a petrol station to make Dougie more presentable, and dropped him off at the Avis office....Read this update Day 180: Bouncy pillowMost of this day was spent sorting out our stuff, as we are flying to Auckland tomorrow and needed to get rid of some of the camping things. We put out a box and it seemed very popular, as most...Read this update Day 179: ChristchurchWe set off in the bus for the centre after a windy night, though not quite as windy as Wellington....Read this update April 07, 2005Day 178: ChristchurchOur tent was soaked, as it had been raining again, and we were both pretty cold, so we got up quite early. It cleared up beautifully though as we were driving....Read this update Day 177: FairlieWe got up quite early. It had been very windy all night, but luckily our tent stood in a very secluded spot and we didn't have a Wellington repeat....Read this update Day 176: Hooker valleyWe made sure the geology class had left before we got up for breakfast, wondering at the ice which had actually formed on our tent! At about 9, we drove to Mt Cook/Aoraki village and we started walking about 9.35....Read this update April 04, 2005Day 175: Mt Cook/Aoraki NPWe got up really early (well, about 8) as it was freezing in the tent. There was actual condensation from our breath on the inside!...Read this update Day 174: OamaruWe drove to the small town of Oamaru, 109 km north of Dunedin. It was basically just a stop to break the trip to Mt Cook, which is almost on the other side of the island....Read this update Day 173: Dunedin cafe cultureIn the morning after breakfast, I slipped in my flipflops and was covered in mud... Why do these things happen to me? Well, it could have been worse, as I was carrying a sharp knife......Read this update Day 172: Taieri Gorge RailwayKeiron arranged for a taxi to pick us up and we drove to the railway station and bought our tickets....Read this update Day 171: Otago PeninsulaI was a nurse to Brad Pitt and he had a rather embarrassing bum infection, so I had to put new bandages on. But at that point I was rudely woken up by the van taking off next to us...Read this update Day 170: DunedinI got a bit cold because of all the soppy wetness of Invercargill, so, uncharacteristically, I was up before Keiron, and very lively at that!...Read this update |
