I am tempted to just let the photographs speak for themselves in this blog and not write any words….as the scenery we have encountered recently was very beautiful. A real reminder of the art that can be found in nature and how much we love being by the ocean!
After my antibiotic allergic reaction to metal […]
Hold it…your breath that is.
Today I would like to share our favourite travelling game, The Breath Hold game. It is quite straightforward – you hold you breath whilst crossing any bridge. Simple and yet strangely addictive when you drive as many roads as we do.
We were introduced to this game by one of the employess […]
After feeling rejuvenated by our afternoon in the Spa, Kathryn and I enjoyed a few days exploring local geothermal areas and catching up with office work before our final Rotorua event with Forest and Bird. We always enjoy our F&B events and with the friendliness we’d encountered thus far in Rotorua we had high expectations […]
Our third guest article has been for Not Australia with our article Top 15 Alternative Places to Shout ‘View!’ in New Zealand. We really enjoyed revisiting our highlights of Aotearoa and it certainly reminded us of why we have applied for residency in New Zealand.

We have been featured in nzmotorhol.com with our article Highs, Lows and Campervan Laughter. I hope you enjoy this insight into our six month tour of New Zealand with Wendekreisen Travel Ltd.

While both Kathryn and I had recovered from our illness by the time we left our rest-break in Bay View campsite near Napier, we were still drained by the ordeal. We looked forward to visiting Taupo and especially Rotorua which is known as the health centre of New Zealand thanks to its active geothermal nature. […]
Onwards we went from Wellington to Palmerston North and Napier, where we gave lectures for Massey University/Palmerston North City library, a Ryman’s retirement village and participated in a shark-themed day with Napier’s Earth Guardians. Whilst the events all went well, our week didn’t go especially smoothly as we were both struck down with a dreadful […]
Wellington was our first destination on the North Island of New Zealand after a beautiful crossing of the Cook Strait, during which we saw a seal and also a whale. We were sad to be leaving the South Island behind but it is safe to say Wellington made quite the impression on us. At first […]
We completed and celebrated our fiftieth shark conservation event this week by speaking at Charles Fleming Ryman’s retirement village in Waikenae, New Zealand. We had high hopes for this event and it was certainly memorable….but perhaps not for the reasons we expected it to be!
The residents at Ryman’s were all very welcoming but unfortunately the […]
