Here we are in the Gili islands, a short boat ride from the island of Bali, and we’re pretty sure that if paradise exists, this is it. This morning, as we enjoyed a delicious local-grown coffee and fresh squeezed mango juice with pineapple pancakes, looking at the white sand blending to a beautiful green shallow sea, then grading to the deep blue, Kenna and I looked at each other Continue reading Ballin’ in Bali and Gili Well, we sure have enjoyed our time in Australia. So much so, that we had planned to spend one month there, and ended up spending almost six weeks. But despite the great, fun six weeks of partying we’ve endured, we are thoroughly exhausted and ready for a vacation from our vacation. Australia is just one Continue reading Australia Wrap-Up Everyone thought we were crazy for coming to the Northern Territory in the “wet season.” Naturally, being the rain attractors that we seem to have become, we weren’t really worried. What are we, made of soap? A little rain wouldn’t hurt us, right? Right. In fact, the wet season wasn’t really anything to be concerned about! Continue reading The Northern Territory: The Real and Rugged Australia Quick! What do rum and turtles have in common? They’re both made in Bundaberg! After our hairy experience in Fraser Island, both of us were pretty fried and needed some alone time before heading to our next social experiment in the Whitsunday Islands, so we decided to stay in a smallish town called Continue reading Mmm…. I love Rum and Turtles 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! 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 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 … And blowing our budget. Big time. Here we are sitting in Happy Diwali with an amazing adrenaline afterglow. We’ve just come off skydiving, having survived the 12000ft adrenaline rush. It was an amazing experience and we really want to go again. If we had the cash, we’d do that a Continue reading Falling into Queenstown… Scott and I overlooking Wellington. Well, it’s been a few days and we have lots to catch up on! We left National Park Village a few days ago to make the trek down to Wellington. The drive was probably the easiest so far – not a whole lot of twists and turns on scary roads…so Continue reading South of the North Island and North of the South Island This post is about my journey across the Tongariro Crossing, with an intro from Kenna. The start of today came VERY early, as Scott and I wanted to leave Waitomo at a decent hour to be able to complete the Tongariro Crossing hike. We arrived around 11 a.m in National Park Village (the essential base Continue reading Crossing the Mountain called Tongariro |
