New Plymouth
The One When Sabina Tried to Kill Liam
We’ve just finished our last shift at the Chateau, and after saving enough money to keep us going for another few months, the time has come to put work behind us again and return to the ‘holiday’ part of our working holiday visas.
The Best Short Hike
- Tongariro Alpine Crossing Pt. 2
On the day of our Crossing endeavour, there must have been close to a thousand people who were also taking part in the same bustle. Naturally however, the majority of these passed us early on at the Devils Staircase meaning that after reaching the flat section, we were no longer with the crowds.
The Best Short Hike
- Tongariro Alpine Crossing Pt. 1
They say it’s ‘the best short hike in New Zealand’. Just let that sink in for a moment... New Zealand is arguably one of the most beautiful countries on earth. It’s a place known for it’s tremendously varied and unusual scenery showcasing some of the best the world has to offer in every category.
Discovering the Lost Lagoon of Kuratau
What if we told you... that hidden deep in the Taupo region, a small track kept just out of sight leads the curious among us to a secret lagoon with water that is so crystal clear, you can see right through to the floor? Somewhere with thriving green plants everywhere and flourishing birdlife rarely seen anywhere else?
Hiking Tupapakurua Falls with a very hungry man
Have you ever woken up still tired and not wanted to get out of bed? Of course you have - everyone has! (erm.. going to work?) but what about the days off? We all look forward to our time off work but then again at the same time, we’re probably all somewhat guilty of a little ‘sleep over-indulgence’ every so often.
When things got wet in Ruapehu
Last week we were saying how enjoyable days off are. That’s not a particularly bold statement though is it? “days off are such fun” well yes obviously, thanks... but we all also know that some days off are better than others. Some days for example the weather is perfect, on some days things work out just the way you planned.
