Smelling Sulphur

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. […]

Windy Wellington

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 […]

50th event…Expect the unexpected!

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 […]

Introducing…Bertha!

It is with much gratitude and excitement that we would like to introduce you to our new campervan…Bertha!

We were sad to say goodbye to our Shark Mobile, who has accompanied us on many adventures in the South Island without complaint or mishap. We were also excited and very grateful for Wendekreisen Travel Ltd’s kind offer […]

Exploring the North of the South

After our busy schedule of events in Nelson, we decided it was time to take a week off and explore the remaining northern parts of the South Island that we had yet to visit. It is hard to believe that we have already spent three months travelling New Zealand and our week off was planned […]

Non-stop in Nelson

It was seven weeks ago that we left Te Anau YHA where we’d put our time to good use booking plenty of events for the Nelson area. We were fortunate to be granted the same treatment by the wonderful YHA folks in Nelson for the fifteen events we had arranged up here. Our Wendekreisen Campervan […]

Less walking…more Ouch!!

After reaching Nelson and catching up on our office work, we managed to squeeze in a brief trip to Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks. We had been planning on a weekend of hiking these national parks, famed for their coastal views and clear blue waters, but it didn’t quite go to plan…
We spent our […]

West Coast Adventures

I knew the West coast of New Zealand would be beautiful but I had no idea it would be so consistently gorgeous as the miles ticked by.

When we left Southland after our Forest & Bird event, I was sad to be saying goodbye to the southern hospitality and, more unusually, the pink silage bales surrounding […]
