The Hop Harvest in Riwaka, South Island
Tongariro Crossing - where ruby and emerald meet under an opal sky - the best vacation ever, but remember: always with a backpack and lots of new friends!

The casualties: 1 Sonicare toothbrush charger, 1 travel hair dryer (what a cool fire that was), all the walkie talkie rechargeable batteries, and Tom’s head. It turns out you can’t shave your head with clippers running on 240V when they should be on 120V. [...]... moreArticle from Sixintheworld.com

Everybody got to pick their favorite activity from our two and a half weeks in New Zealand. Here goes:
1. Tom — Wandering/driving through the varied and spectacular landscapes.
2. Anne — Abseiling at Waitomo with McKane. I’m not a fan of heights, so dangling from a harness 330 feet in the air and descending a gorge [...]... moreArticle from | |
