We made it all the way to Dunedin yesterday, with plenty of time to explore the town. Dunedin is the most “European” town in NZ, due to its architecture. Victorian churches, red telephone booths and numerous pubs make it seem just like Scotland. We spent most of the time around the “Octagon” – the most Continue reading Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula Scott standing in front of Milford Glacier Well, here we are, again in Happy Diwali, feeling somewhat disappointed. Although NZ is a beautiful country, we’re kind of fed up with the awful weather it has been offering us to enjoy its bounty. After our stop over in Te Anau (which embitterned us somewhat, as we discovered Continue reading The Glorious Milford Fjords Today’s blog post comes from yours truly, because Scott was too ashamed to write the entry. He totally wossied out and didn’t jump! Just kidding, but I did earn more panty points today than him. 🙂 We headed out again this morning, ready for our last adrenaline kick (and again, WAY more expensive than any drug Continue reading Falling into Queenstown Part Deux: the Canyon Swing The Roaring Meg Scott and I have had the pleasure of meeting two of Lake Wanaka’s great natural forces: Meg and Roy. We arrived into Wanaka two days ago after the drive through the Haast Pass (which actually wasn’t so bad). We immediately went straight to the informaiton centre in town to see if we could Continue reading The Roaring Meg and Mighty Roy Pancake rocks Last I left off, we were enjoying the rainy sludge that Punakaiki had to offer. The rain did not let up that night, so we decided to take a gamble and try seeing the pancake rocks the next morning. After spending quite some time in the van reading and such, Scott had another Continue reading Pancake rocks, Jungle and Glaciers – oh my! Today’s blog post comes while Scott drives Happy Diwali through the crazy twists and turns of New Zealand’s roads. We are leaving Paihia to start our journey South – today we are hoping to get to the Coromandel Peninsula to see the Hot Water Beach. Yesterday was our highly anticipated “swim with the dolphins” experience. After Continue reading Dolphins and Driving Here we are, sitting in Happy Diwali, enjoying the beauty Northern NZ has to offer. Scott and I woke up this morning at 5:30 to try to see the sun rise over the ocean out of the back of HD. Unfortunately, the weather was completely socked in, and we didn’t see anything too stellar. Continue reading Northern Beauty First blog post from outside Canada! Woot! Tonight’s entry comes to you via a 48-hour famished, sleep deprived gal. Why, may you ask? Well, I (Kenna) had quite the ordeal yesterday. I woke up Monday morning at about 7:30 to the most painful gut problems I had ever experienced. Now, I’ve Continue reading Planes….Trains….and Hospitals? Are we there yet? Ok, you’re probably wondering why I’m blogging when I’m still in Canada and I have nothing exciting to report. Well, that’s pretty much why: I’m kind of underwhelmed…and am finding the mundane details in life somewhat hilarious. I am currently feeling the need to diarize these so that when I am having Continue reading Tales from a Lady of Leisure…. Wow, what a weekend. And in three weeks, Scott and I will be living out of a VAN in New Zealand. Until then, we are shacked up at my lovely Momma’s house. Friday night was spent packing….and screaming at each other about various organizational disagreements. By midnight I was wondering if our relationship would survive the move, Continue reading We are officially homeless! |
