We are now on our way for 11 day holiday in North New Zealand. Aucland is our first stop. Note the "Kiwi" Hotel. New Zealanders are called Kiwies. See the first airport hotel. Not always the hotel you thought you ordered on line. See the pickup van at the airport. We laughed and laughed when we got to the hotel very very late. The whole door jamb almost fell out as Alex exited the Van. Oh dear. But in the morning breakfast was very good and we were not the only ones staying there. What fun.!!!!!! Loved Auckland. Volcano hills great. What a view.... read more

Absolutely loved the city of Adelaide. The beautiful art gallery, Australian gallery, the shops along the central outside mall, the beautiful gardens. The fringe festivale was on at the same time. Would love to go back here. Met a girl from a previous day tour. Beautiful buildings as well. Loved my big apartment type hotel, obtained due to my error in booking the week following, but the hotel staff were good enough to call the booking agent and arrange for another upgraded hotel room on a busy night. Loved it. Also shown is the return to Sydney.... read more
