KIA ORA FANS Today is the 131st day anniversary (daiversary?) of me leaving NZ. (Don’t trust my maths too much tho…) Well, coincidentally 131 is one of the best numbers in the world so it seems like a good moment to finally do my New Zealand-summary-entry ready for future new travelly entries! As I […]

SKY TOWER
Hello awesome peoples, This may or may not be the final blog entry for now, but don’t worry, it’ll be good, since it was the day of THE SKY TOWEEEEEEERRR. So, yesterday (the 2nd) started off with an AMAZING brekkie at Hollywood Café in the centre of Northcote. CC had Eggs Hollandaise and I had […]
Climbing Rangitoto the volcano
Hello my preciouses, So, Saturday we went to explore Rangitoto Island. A volcanic island in the Hauraki gulf, 5.5km wide island, an iconic and widely visible landmark of Auckland with a distinctive symmetrical 260 m-high shield volcano cone. (Ta wikipedia!) One of the main naturey tourist attractions of the Auckland area. After a scrumptious home-cooked […]
DEVONPORT I love you
Good day fellow human beings, ‘Today’ (the 18th) was a very good day, the day we went to Devonport. Devonport would be a 1½h walk away, or two buses. I decided to walk the way of the first bus (38mins, according to googlemaps), and take the second one. Buses are a hassle and I decided […]
Big trees, public loos and kiwi chocolate
13. December (Friday the 13th!!) Today we left Kaitaia and made our way down the west coast of Northland (the northernmost region in NZ). Points of interest: the teeny weeny village of Kohukohu (I love Maori place-names!!). Our motel had no wifi since wifi is considered a luxury in this country. I was hoping to find a […]
To the Eery North FEAT. SAND DUNES
12. December 2013 Today we left Russell, unfortunately leaving Hayzybobzykins who would be starting her job there the next day. To clarify things I just drew myself a map of where we went, though it does not really show well online… SOZ. Google map it. (Up the east coast, up to the very tip, […]
Day of Dolphins
11. December Today was the day me, CC and Hayzybobzykins went for the “Swimming with Dolphins”-excursion at the island-complex Bay of Islands, leaving from Russell. Max. 35 people on the boat, three hours. There was a 98% chance of us seeing dolphins, said Billy and Tommy on the boat, but we definitely don’t get […]
Dubai 2 Auckland via Oz
9/12/2013 klo 7.17am(9.17pm previous evening English time? Maybe? So confused), BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA. Tbf, all airports look pretty similar. I honestly can’t believe it. 20mins-ish till boarding my final flight. Just over three hours to NZ. This has gone so quick. 9/12/2013 attempt 2, klo 19.26 (not 10.26 as my computer is claiming, still in […]
Day 18: Switzerland Sightseeing
Today was the day we left Interlaken and took the scenic train to Montreux, which is in the west of Switzerland, in the French speaking area, at Lake Geneva. It started not too well with me in floods of tears and CC running barefoot thru town, now with shocking blood blisters on his feet. (Once […]
Day 17: Schilthorn – Up to nearly 3km!
Today was the day we were originally supposed to do the Jungfrau. I got inspired by it by seeing a picture from that region on one of my fb friends’ wall, and it seemed a good starting point for looking into pretty scenic trains in Switzerland. The Jungfrau is called the “top of Europe”, the […]
