I did get close to the Slope point which is the most southern point of NZ, however I could not go for a walk… due to lambing, ohh well never mind I do chose my time well…however after finding a nice free camp site I was rather happy with myself. When I was leaving the next morning I saw an abounded lamb on the side of the road… another rescue?!…I stopped … the mum was nowhere to be seen… as I spoke to ‘Bobo’ he really responded to my voice and came to me and thought I had some milk for [View Full Entry]

Off to Paihai... again.. although I have left quite late still managed to make it on time, what is the speed limit in NZ again.:-o.... Met with Angela and as did not want to waste anymore of my time, got us over Auckland and parked for the night close to Coromandel Penninsula drove through Auckland, park in front of farm where we slept. In the morning we set off for the Coromandel, planed to go for long walk, however when we got there I have realised that thanks to Angela I have lost one of my walking boots, which I was [View Full Entry]

If you lucky you have friend in all places.... and so I guess I am lucky. Originally planed one night turned into 4nights in Dargaville, I have stayed in parents house of a Kiwi friend back in UK, who just got married ( Congrats to Nat and Elton :o) ..)

Waking up in proper bed was rather nice, as Paul had to leave early for work, it was early start for me and Buddy too. As I left Paul's, not that far down his road I have found this free hot bath pools, ...sweet. I was so lovely and hot... nice start to a day... Once I have arrived in Whakatane unfortunately found out that swimming with dolphins is out of question. So I just went to a lovely look out point. Buddy was still very timid and not sure of himself, we had lunch, man never feed dog bake beans [View Full Entry]

Hiya again - private Romi - reports :o) It is me and Alfred on the road... I picked Alfred in the morning of 1st September. Alfred is name of my van. Although I have put adverts for "partner in crime needed" = someone who would like to go travelling with me and Alfred, there were no volunteers, only one English guy who lives in Switzerland, his name is Martin, wanted a lift up north to Paihia. So off we went... The road was bit wet as it is still winter here and apparently the worst in very long time, well why [View Full Entry]

NEW ZEALAND SOLO ... As you most probably know, we have gone separate ways, after travelling for 7months together, it was inevitable, for us to go on our own. For people that are bit concern, no we did not fell out, just we both want to stay here different time hence it makes more sense for us to do our own thing. So from now on, I am not initially sure, if Reni will be adding anymore on this site, but I will try. Although as most probably my close friend know, my travelling is nearly at the end, this time [View Full Entry]

HELLO SYDNEY... are we in Sydney... apparently so... well if it would not be for the Opera House we would not really know.... Mind you we had a pretty successfully first day.... we have went to the Royal Botanic gardens, from where we went to the opera house and as we were heading back we got free tickets to the Opera house to see a play... sweet... that is what you call being at the right time on the right place, so within 8 hours of being in Sydney we have managed to do all of this, and that was [View Full Entry]

We are leaving the Yellow Submarine ... ...what can we say are we really sad to go.... not really, we have been living there for a month and it is time to go.... we have met some nice people, and hopefully will keep in touch. The last week in Brisbane was nothing special, only the highlight was when we went rock climbing and realised we have to get fitter... Me Reni went rock climbing one day later again.... And I Romi have finished my jumper and now I do look like Sally, can't wait to do the gloves...and socks.. .... [View Full Entry]

MY EKKA ... unfortunetly we did not get to see much of the real Ekka as we were working in the show bag pavilion was something very much different, we still don't really understand the concept of the bags. Basically we were selling bags full of crap- mainly toys, sweets, and people are buying like crazy... not sure why though... We had busy days and no so busy days, but we have tried to keep ourselves occupied, some people did not really believed us that we worked there.... see pictures We were glad when the 10 days 12 hours a [View Full Entry]

Way to Fraser As we have realised we had to be one day earlier in Harvey Bay that originally planed we had quite long way to go we had to drive solid for two days to get there. As we were peaty bored, mainly because our crew was so much fun, we played truth of dare, it car you can not do that many dares, however we ended up pulling moonies out of the window on passing cars, well what can we say - we weren't really bored. Once we have arrived in Harvey Bay first things first - food .... [View Full Entry]
