I had been really looking forward to visiting Northland after a cold winter travelling throughout New Zealand and it was as beautiful, warm and scenic as we had both hoped for. Our first stop was Tutukaka for a dive centre lecture at Dive Tutukaka. The event went well despite a technical hitch at the start […]
After a wonderful time exploring the Coromandel Peninsula, we visited the west coast of the north island for a public event at Raglan. Raglan is a well known surf spot in New Zealand and, despite it having been a blustery winter week, there were people enjoying the surf at the local beaches. We stayed at […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We also enjoyed two other day walks along different sections of the Kepler Track in Fjordland and, each time, the forest was slightly different and offered new views with rivers that rushed past us in a flurry of strong currents, ripples and cold blue water. Te Anau had received exceptionally high rainfall during our visit […]
What an incredible surprise we had in Fjordland after travelling there from our events in Invercargill. It is fair to say we were pretty weary when we arrived in Te Anau and the staff at the YHA Te Anau hostel kindly offered us a room for our stay. We were beyond excited at the prospect […]
What with many other people on holiday in New Zealand, we not only felt we should have a chance to explore too, but we also had no schools available to talk to.
We left Mount Cook a little sore in the leg department and the next couple of days saw us both occasionally stopping to stretch. […]
After a busy and successful round of events in Christchurch, we took some time away from our computers to explore the stunning scenery of New Zealand’s south island. We made the most of the glorious Easter sunshine and visited Akaroa, Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook National Park. We found ourselves constantly shouting ‘view’ as each […]
