Australasia and South East Asia... a continuation on a toilet theme

Homogenity very much defines shopping in Thailand, and the floating market outside Bangkok was no exception. Repetitive photo album designs, countless fake Rolex's and wood-rounded candlestick holders abound, I must've seen them all in at least 50 di...

 

Kiiwis are priimo!

NZ, to say it short = sweet ass priimou! Arrived in Auckland where I stayed at Base Bp`s and had a priimou sanctuary girls dorm there (was almost more like a hotel more than a hostel). Wellington beats Auckland 100%! Had a great buss trip throu...

New Zealand

Bungy jumps in Taupo are the cheapest around, So we decided to go there. Before 11am they are even cheaper. On the morning of our jump we got up extra early but still didn't make it there until 10.45am! We still got the cheap price. We got taken to the...

 

The Pacific, NZ and a tiny bit of Oz

Dunedin is a nice but fairly quiet town. We found the world's steepest street - Badwin st and drove to the top and held our breath on the steep descent! Then we drove out to the Otago peninsula and visited Larnach Castle - New Zealand's only castle. ...

 

Craters and Waterfalls

Married with Children (or Macca)

Jet set visit back to NZ for Peters-Elliot wedding. In another foolish Lent-related trial I had given up meat for 40 days. I can definitely put to rest the argument that vegetarian food tastes good (sorry Caroline). It does not. "Quorn" is...

 

Round the World Trip 2006/07
