Highlights of New Zealand

Monday, May 29th, 2006

As I think I shared with you earlier, we loved NZ (sound familiar?). The best way I can describe it is that alot of the best landscapes in the States have been crammed into these two small islands. That’s NZ. Many of the landscapes remind me of the Northwest in the states. For example, one day while riding in our tour bus, we notices landscapes similar to Idaho forests, the high desert outside of Bend and the Oregon coast. All in a stretch of about 3 hours drive time. Some of the highlights for us were:

Hiking the Tongariro Crossing (seeing the infamous Mount Doom)

Swimming with the dolphins in the Bay of Islands

Paddling the Milford Sound AND being greeted by dolphins all around the kayak

Forging our owns knives from a piece of steel in Barrytown

Hiking and swimming in the Abel Tasman National Park

Seeing real live Kiwi birds!

The bus tour around the South Island with all of our great new friends from around the globe.

As with most of the places we´ve been, we highly recommend going to NZ. It is a fabulous country with tons of fun things to do and see.

New Zealand is Awesome!

Monday, February 6th, 2006

Wow!! What a difference it makes to travel in a country where everyone speaks the lingo. don’t get me wrong…we had an amazing time in SE Asia but…it was time to go. 3 months was a good length for us. Granted, we really wanted to go to Laos, could’ve spent more time in Thailand etc… Oh well, you can’ t do it all.

So after a brutal flight(s) from Bangkok to Christchurch, we were wiped out for a couple of days. Terra ended up getting sick because she was so worn down. We guessed that only 3 hours of sleep was had between the two of us of about 36 hours. Not fun. We did watch about 67,000 movies on the planes though.

We decided that we would buy one of the around-the-country bus passes instead of renting a camper van or car. We had originally planned on doing the camper thing but. Being driven around for a few weeks sounded good. We started in Christchurch. Really cool little town. As we were flying in, I commented to Terra how much I thought it looked like flying into Boise!

There are about 300K people in the town but, from what I could tell, most of them live outside the “city” on farms. The downtown area was also much like Les Bois. Very easy to walk around clean lots of neat little shops etc. Our 5 days there were very enjoyable. Spend most of our time relaxing, enjoying the great weather etc. Even had a chance to go for a run on the very Boise-like greenbelt.

Have to make a comment on the coffee in Christchurch. Keeping in mind that Portland is probably second behind only Seattle in number of coffee houses per square inch; I’d say Christchurch is 3rd. It was amazing. You literally couldn’t hit a wedge (even as short as I hit mine) without flying over 6-7 shops. Needless to say I was wired the whole time I was there. It was great.

We were also really excited to try the authentic NZ cuisine. I guess I didn’t really realize there isn’t such a thing (except for the mystery Meat Pies that Sow already warned me about). The food has been quite good actually.

Oh…another one to but in the category of “We shouldn’t take it for granted at Home”… TAP WATER!!! I took my first drink from a tap as soon as we landed. What a liberating feeling!! No longer does every drink need to come from a bottle. You can actually take a bottle, drink it all and fill it back up again. FOR FREE!! It is delightful.

We have been making our way around the south island for the last 10 days. Mor details to come but so far so good. New Zealand is great!!

I can drive in Bali

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

Decided to rent a car/scooter to see the island. Even though the traffic seems crazy (driving on the wrong side of the street, steering wheel on the wrong side of the car, hundreds of scooters and cars combined going at ... [Continue reading this entry]
