Hey everyone. Its been a little while since i last wrote, but surprisingly have found it more of a challange to find internet places in new zealand in some of the little towns we've stayed in. In south america they seemed to be on every street corner. We left Rio just under 2 weeks ago and had a bit of a journey to get through. However it went surprisingly quick and arrived in Auckland safe and sound! On arriving in the city, once we'd got over the fact we could now speak english without getting confused looks we picked up our little campervan. We have now named her Barbie since we spent so much time on Cindy in S. America. Didnt stay in the city to view auckland but headed straight up to the bay of ... read more

Yeah so Adelaide was full. 3 seperate art festivals means i was looking at $150+ a night which isn't too healthy for the wallet. Took a few snaps on the way out, but i headed off to Alice Springs soon after.... read more

viime yönä tuuli ihan hirveesti ja sit näin kauheita myrsky unia... ;) aamulla oli tytöt taas nukkuneen rukouksia! silmät pysy just ja just auki murkinoidessa. Junaan meinas nukahtaa ja samoin leikkaussaliin, ku niillä ei vehkeet toiminu ja joutuvat hakeen varaosia. Me sit istuskeltiin seinän vierellä ja meinas uni painaa silmiä kiinni.Mut meni se sit ohi. Meil oli taas sellanen 5h leikkaus.. Ne poisti paksusuolta tähystämällä ja tietenki lopuks avas sen mahaa vähän, että saivat sen pois sieltä mahasta. Ihan jännä leikkaus. Sairaanhoitaja selitteli meille sitä leikkuasta ja kirurgi näytteli niitä suolia ;) Piti sit taas käydä kaupassa. Ostaan Currya. Noh meinas vähän olla tytöiltä purkit hukassa, mut kyllähän se löyty, ku meni metrin vasemmalle sitä hyllyä.. eihän sitä etitty ku 10min.. Kotona tein meille riisiä ja kanakastiketta.. Namia!... read more

Finally I've escaped Sydney, even though the city tried desperately to: *get me so drunk the previous night that i woke up late and packing took an exorbitant amount of time and hangover energy * delay me by supplying a twice-delayed Sunday train service * drive me mad when I found out that Central Station was closed with replacement bus services in operation! As I sat, dripping with sweat, anxious, shattered and shaking with the DTs on the rail-replacement bus idling outside Central Station waiting to start my 20 min journey to the airport in order to catch flight DJ862 that departed in 30mins, it dawned on me that all hope was lost; I wasn't going to make it. Bugger My mood was sinking fast, not least because the weight of my 28kg front and back ... read more

We did not have time to go down the South Island west coast to see the famous glaciers and Fjordland or even Queentown were also too far away. Instead we spent more time on the east side of the Southern Alps, around Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, and Mt. Cook. The weather was as good as it can be. We had great views across the turquise green water of Lake Pukaki, a beautiful sunset, and a clear and sunny visit to New Zealands highest mountains, Mt. Cook and Mt. Tasman. We had a really good times those days. Always in the nature under open sky, coming before the first tourists come, staying longer than anybody else, enjoying sunsets made only for us. And not to forget all the nice camping dinners with red wine and lots of ... read more
