Hunting for a flatmate

Penny moved out over the past week (she's moved in with her boyfriend, so all the best to them. ), and so I'm now hunting for a flatmate. I've actually been hunting for the past week, but strangely enough, haven't … Read more …

I’m back!

Well, I got back from the road trip on the 24th March, and I hung out with Mel until the 30th, when she caught her flight to Vancouver in Canada (via Auckland – Los Angeles – Vancouver). I've been spending … Read more …

Day Eleven

I'm back home. YAY! The holiday was fantastic, but damn, it's good to be home. Ok, yesterday we travelled from Taupo to Napier in Hawkes Bay. Before we left Taupo we went to a place called Huka Falls, where we … Read more …

Day Nine

5:46pm We're at Lake Taupo now. What a day… We woke up, had breakfast (I didn't bother with the spa, deciding I wasn't interested in carting around wet shorts), and then went for a walk through a nearby park. Amazing. … Read more …

Day Eight

4:30pm We arrived in Rotorua today, where active volcanoes provide the tourist attraction. Isn't it funny that a city is built around an industry that takes advantage of volcanoes about to blow. Or maybe that's just my overactive imagination… There … Read more …

Day Seven

I'm knackered. As usual, I'll start at the beginning. Went on the boat trip this morning, which was awesome. We followed the coastline around for a bit and saw heaps of amazing cliff faces and beaches and stuff – took … Read more …

Day Five

Day Four

My mistake – it's not a seaside town, but it's a riverside town that's close to the sea. Anyway, today was a relaxing day, with us deciding not to go to the Bay of Islands and instead just chill out … Read more …

Day Three

Darnit! I got bitten by another spider last night while I was asleep. Now there's two options that occurred here. It either wasn't a white-tailed spider, because it hasn't come up all horrible with a white pulsating centre (instead it's … Read more …

Day Two

Ok, we woke up around 7:45am, had breakfast in the kitchen of the backpackers, and then drove around New Plymouth for a while, looking at the beaches and stuff. We walked along a wharf at the ‘Taranaki Marina’ and then … Read more …

Day One

Mel arrived on Friday midnight , and after taking her for a drive through the city to show her Wellington’s nightlife, we went home and ‘caught up on gossip’ before heading to bed. Yesterday, got up too late to make … Read more …
