For nearly a year now I have been travelling around New Zealand. That’s what all those posts about New Zealand have been about, in case you were wondering. I’ve been travelling as a twosome, with my ever patient other half, who has allowed me to visit a lot of, quite frankly, odd locations. But a […]

How to find free internet in New Zealand
New Zealand has a lot to offer. Widely available free internet is not one of those things. The reasons for this are naturally cost related, with the cost of providing internet access being a prohibitive factor for most businesses. This situation is improving, with fibre rollouts planned, but for now, it’s not easy getting your […]

Sand dunes and the end of the world

By back on track, I am referring to the tale of my trip around Northland – the most northerly part of New Zealand’s north island. Unimaginative name aside, this is a spectacular place.

As a result, I imagine that the New Zealand tourism board is working feverishly to ensure that every last piece of information that the potential tourist could […]

A place where frost rimmed yaks roam frozen wastelands, and explorers battle immense hardship to conquer peaks. For New Zealanders however, the further North one goes, […]
Wanders through Wellington
Having babbled on at some length as to the virtues of Dunedin, it is now time to turn my attention to my other favourite Kiwi city – which also happens to be the countries capital – the city of Wellington. Wellington is tucked away on the southern tip of the North island, and most travellers […]
Whale Crazy Kaikoura
I should probably preface this post with a note that, title aside, I didn’t see any actual Whales in Kaikoura, despite quite a lot of frenzied staring out to sea. What I did see was a town that is somewhat obsessed by these creatures, and which shares it’s obsession with over a million visitors a […]
