Caute, tak odchadzame, auto sme predali, ale nie velmi uspesne, ani o tom nechceme moc vraviet :( Ale aspon sme sa ho zbavili a mohli odletiet do Australie. V Aucklande sme si pozreli co sme mohli, vyhodou bolo aj to, ze tu premavaju niektore bezplatne autobusy a pod, resp. cena denneho listka sa da vydrzat. Ale velmke mesta moc nie su pre nas. My radsej prirodu. :) Pridavame este fotky z nasho posledneho vyletu v Tongariro NP, kde sme vyliezli na Mt. Ngauruhoe a pozreli sme sa do kratera, z jedneho naseho posledneho rana, ked sme nocovali nevedno kde a potom rano sme zistili, ze aky super vyhlad mame (te mata peak a te mata peak2), jedneho z poslednych glowwormov co sme videli, co je tu miestna vychytavka, v noci svieti modrozelenym svetlom a tym laka ... read more

I think this is about the 4th or 5th night at the airport and hopefully the last! We have a flight to Fiji tomorrow morning at 7.35am and are trying to save money as we went shopping yesterday and spent far more than our daily budget! After we did our bungy we spent our last night with the group which was sad as we had a fun few days with them. Then the next day we got the bus to Roturua and spent the day relaxing there and then went to the Polynesian Spa at the night where they have outdoor naturally heated pools. Although it was lovely sitting in the spa and starring up at the stars we got bored after about half an hour and left! Then next morning we got the Kiwi bus ... read more

My first steps... imagined and wanting to be painless and easy - but as reality hit, what a debacle! Before I had even taken off my mind (half asleep due to the early morning flight) was already having to contemplate the reducing odds of making a tight turnaround at Melbourne airport as I waited aboard my first aircraft for over an hour for fuel to be added and then waited again for an Air Pacific flight to be taxied off the runway after discovering technical problems... hmmmm, glad I wasn't on that flight! The delays toying with my emotions, as I hung onto my last few precious moments on NZ soil. My fractured mind was battling the sheer excitement of what was to come with the soma feeling of what I was leaving behind - A ... read more

I know this was more than a month ago but I haven't had the energy to sit down and write a bitter story about the first van I had. A month later it's much easy to write and laugh at the situation. Feb 21: I getting ready to leave Waiheke island on my journey through New Zealand in my newly purchased Van. I bought the Van about a week before from a local guy on Waiheke island who seemed like a pretty cool guy. He was selling his van because he was moving down to the south island to "get back to nature", ie grow pot and live a hippy lifestyle, cool. So I buy the Van for $2000, it was a 1985 Mits diesel 4x4 with 7 seats, not bad. The guy is even nice ... read more
