This post is only a week or so late, mostly because we haven’t had a spare moment to write it, we’ve been having too much fun! I have to say that the Surfaris trip was one of the most fun weeks of my life. It meshed so well with my personality – get Continue reading Surfin’ with Surfaris! Today’s blog post comes WAY overdue from surf camp in Crescent Head, Australia. Our apologies to the extreme delay, but between the computer pooping out in Sydney and almost every minute of our time at surf camp filled with people, food, activity and booze, we’ve found it hard to grab a few spare moments to Continue reading Sayonara Sydney! Welcome 2010! Scott and I are both very excited to move into a brand New Year – 2009 was an interesting year for the two of us with many challenges and changes. Before I dive into the fabulousness of ringing in a new year in this amazing city, I have Continue reading New Years Eve in Spectacular Sydney Here we are, finally in Australia…where our gray abyss woes are supposed to end! NOT. We arrived in Sydney VERY early on Boxing Day, after an even earlier flight from Christchurch (which is two hours behind Sydney) feeling exhausted from lack of sleep. The flight was uneventful, except that we flew over lots of gray clouds Continue reading In the Land of Oz… Despite the less-than-stellar weather and many nights huddled in Happy Diwali wishing that we were leaving for Australia’s hotter weather sooner, we only have fond memories of New Zealand. It’s such a diverse place, in terms of geography, with the subtropical Bay of Islands and volcanic areas of Rotorua on the North Island, to Continue reading New Zealand Wrap-up I must admit, my non-religious self was a bit skeptical spending a day celebrating the birth of Christ in a place whose name consists of both “Christ” and “Church.” Visions of baby Jesus displays and nativity scenes haunted me prior to arriving in this very British New Zealand city – on the contrary, however, Continue reading Christmas in Christchurch Today we’re in Christchurch, where our journey in New Zealand will end. We’re looking forward to the ridiculous heat of Sydney, but we’re also a little sad to leave NZ. It’s been a great time – look forward to a wrapup post in the next few days. The sunset in Akaroa Three days Continue reading Akaroa and Kayaking in Kaikoura 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 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 |
