Michael at top of Ben Lomond

Well here we are in Queenstown. Home for a while...at least until the snow starts melting! Bought our ski season passes, skis, boots and the rest so we are set to go!! Spent the first week of our stay here in a caravan park, but promptly decided to look for a room for the winter as it's pretty bloomin cold. Also after a night of torrential rain we discovered that the van is leaking... right onto Michael's pillow. Poor soul had a cold and a stiff neck for a week after. Got plenty of exercise trapsing around Queenstown looking for a [View Full Entry]

Taupo Oceania » New Zealand » North Island » Taupo

Lake Taupo

After 5 weeks in Mount Maunganui we decided it was time to move on. Back on the road we travelled south to Taupo which is probably the most popular place for tourists on the north island. Went for a quiet pint at night and couldn't believe how busy it was! Ended up joining in a pub quiz, no prizes but we were quite pleased that we did just as well as most of the other teams which had at least 6 folk in them compared with little old us two. Needless to say we didn't join in the games where you [View Full Entry]
