The North Island of New Zealand
Blog: Wanderlust - 16 July 2010
Tongariro National Park On the first of July I took a short three hour flight from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand. My remaining flights leading me back to Washington, DC are booked, which means my month in New Zealand is more or less on a deadline. While I’ll still have the freedom to pick up [...]

Back to reality? Auckland, New Zealand
Blog: Chronicles of a year-long break-up - 16 June 2010
It was with heavy hearts that we arrived in Auckland Airport and applied for our working holiday visas. We had planned from the outset to stop and work in New Zealand for a few months and as the weeks ticked by and the zeros started to disappear from our bank balances, it seemed more inevitable [...]

Waitakere Ranges – Karekare Hike
Blog: i'm ash - 16 April 2010
Less than an hour from Auckland the Waitakere Ranges are a popular retreat for many Kiwis. Gav and Daz arranged for us to do the Karekare hike, Karekare being a settlement in the Waitakere Ranges. The settlement was immortalised in song by Crowded House on their Together Alone album in 1993, much of which was recorded at [...]

The Saturday City: Auckland
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 27 March 2010
Auckland isn’t one of my favorite cities in the world. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad city. I just find it to be quit boring- it’s a business city lacking the character of Wellington or Queenstown. I think living in Auckland would be great. It’s a beautiful city, there are a lot of parks [...]

Kick Back on Waiheke Island
Blog: Brilliant Tips Travel Blog - 25 March 2010
Just a short 35 minute trip by fast ferry from downtown Auckland, New Zealand’s Waiheke Island is just the spot to get away from, …well, Auckland.

New Zealand – Sweet as bro’
Blog: i'm ash - 23 March 2010
Third time lucky and I finally boarded the Jetstar flight bound for New Zealand – I realised whilst flying that this was the first new country I would be visiting on the trip. I got the unknowing adventure backpacker feeling again :) Instead of the intial burst of humid temperatures hitting me when I walked off [...]

Longest Day Ever
Blog: No Hurry Curry - 18 March 2010
3/10/10 We spent the night last night at the Auckland airport because our flight out to Sydney was at 6am and we didn’t want to worry about getting to the airport at 4am. (This makes two nights spent at the Auckland airport, and I have to say that I much prefer Changi.) Accordingly, I woke up [...]

Let Me, Let Me Upgrade Ya
Blog: No Hurry Curry - 17 March 2010
3/8/10: Auckland, New Zealand Sometimes I almost forget that Zhou and I are on our honeymoon. On one hand it feels like we were married years ago while on the other many people think we’re a teenage brother/sister traveling band (our big hit song was clearly “All My Life”). On both hands though there’s one big [...]

Chile Dogs Will Just Have to Wait
Blog: No Hurry Curry - 13 March 2010
3/3/10: Auckland, New Zealand When we planned our trip, we didn’t make a lot of ground rules. Having no idea what a world trip like this would be like, we decided it would be best to figure things out along the way. However, I do remember one request of Zhou’s: every now and then we had [...]

A Smorgasbord from Sydney to Toblerone

2/17/10: Australia to New Zealand Most of the time I try to pick the most exciting story from the day and blog about it. I figure there is a much greater chance that you will read a post all the way through if I don’t give you an easy out in the middle of it. There’s [...]

Trouble in Paradise
Blog: Aerohaveno: A Travel Blog - 7 January 2010
No journey is perfect. Travellers go abroad knowing that, sometimes, flights will be delayed, baggage misplaced, hotel rooms disappointing and meals underwhelming.

Happy Campers Touring North NZ by RV
Blog: Away Together - 8 December 2009
Twenty years ago, on a college road trip to Oregon, Morgan and I stopped by a Winnebago dealership so I could tour some models. I told him then that nothing would make me happier than being on the road with him in a Minnie Winnie.

New Zealand round-up
Blog: Itinerant Londoner - 16 November 2009
New Zealand was never part of my plan originally – but when I realised I had to fly via there to get from Chile to Asia, I figured I might as well stop there for a few days to get a little taster of the place. Whenever I mentioned my plans to spend just six days [...]

Lady in the Land of the Long White Cloud
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
I arrived in New Zealand on January 2 and Rob and I drove straight from Auckland to the Coromandel Peninsula. The scenery was spectacular. We saw beautiful coastline, rolling hills, farmland, and lots of small towns along the way. We even got chased down a hill by a gigantic sheep!We stopped in Thames and Coromandel before taking the 309 road, a one-lane gravel shortcut, to Hahei. On the way we came across two adorable hedgehogs and a possum, all of whom I was tempted to bring along with us.

New Zealand
Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 14 September 2009
After a fourteen-hour flight from Santiago, a layover in Auckland, and another short flight to the South Island, we arrived with bleary eyes in Christchurch, New Zealand. We were pretty excited about getting to a place where English is the first language, but we soon realized that Kiwis have their own variety of English; the accent and vocabulary are so different we often found ourselves scratching our heads. It took us a bit of time to figure out not to be insulted when asked if we were planning to "do some tramping" while on the island (meaning hiking).
