Cape Brett tramp

This stunning tramp is in the Bay of Islands. Its a 8-10 hr walk in (10 if you get lost!) The views are amazing! Some of the best I've seen in NZ. The hut at the end is more than adequate. And the fishing has lots of potential. I hope the photos do the...

Rarotonga 2006

What better way to wrap up my two year overseas travelling adventure than to stop at a tropical Pacific island. Rarotonga was to be a kind of re-entry process into life down this part of the world. It was a return to things familiar and a chance to ref...

Europe trip Oct 2006

Slovakia was my favourite country. I loved the quieter pace after the Prague rush. Bratislava had some beautiful architecture, good food and a Tesco supermarket. Though a little harder to get around, it was more compact and different again from it's mo...

London 2006

Here's some pics of London. Memories of London are the regular sewer fumes, lack of English accents and catching up with friends and a cousin. The London Aquarium, Thames River at night and the British Museum were the best touristy things. I reccome...

Isle of Skye

After living so long in Johnstone, Paisley and Glasgow for 18 months, Skye was the perfect remedy to fume clogged lungs and claustrophobia induced insanity. hills that keep going up, remote stretches of coastline and Sunday's where most things are clos...

Ephesus, Turkey

My first impression of this part of Turkey was of all the ruins strewn everywhere. Carved marble pieces and architectural remains were strewn all over the place as if no one has bothered to pick them up for centuries. Ephesus was as impressive as you ...

Gallipoli, Turkey

Anzac Day and Gallipoli are something unique and special to Kiwi's and Aussies (and the Turkish people) and indeed is something that has significantly shaped our national identity. most people my age will remember going to at least one dawn service but...

Amsterdam

It rained. And I only had 4 hours, so it's hard to develop a well balanced opinion of Amsterdam, but I was left unimpressed. I had enough time to do the canal cruise and try some food. But I didn't think much of it. I really can't say much more. I like...
