by Bertha on 25. Oct, 2005 in New Zealand 2005, Pictures
If there is only one thing you do in Wellington, it should be to visit Te Papa Museum! The entire day today was spent there trying to see all the exhibits and I spent 5 hours there but I didn’t manage to cover it all. And I found out later there were walks and exhibits […]
Tongariro Crossing near Taupo
by Bertha on 24. Oct, 2005 in New Zealand 2005
Let me just say that you all will be very proud of me for doing this crazy, crazy trek! As Dave (or E-VIEL as I like to call him) can attest to when we went hiking up that stupid mountain in Banff with Eddie, I do not like steep mountain climbs. Actually, I am more […]

Devonport

Very lovely little suburb on the north shore of Auckland. I did a historical walking tour and included my own stops at the old Naval base and the extinct volcano, Mt. Victoria. Both provided excellent views of Auckland. There was a school group or something at the naval base playing some kind of game in […]
