Blog: Landlopers - 24 August 2011
I first heard about Rippon Winery at dinner my first night in Wanaka.

What a day
Blog: 2 Wheels - 1 World - 0 Money - 8 January 2011
Now I know why New Zealand has become a very popular destination for people who are looking to find the perfect place to retire. The fact that one is physically very far away from all the haste, the happenings and the distractions the rest of the world perpetually proposes, permeates and consequently affects most of my thoughts and actions. A walk around a magnificently peaceful lake, some relaxing kayaking and ice cream in a chilled out nice little cafe with a beautiful view made my day.

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).
