Adventures In New Zealand. 3 Months In Godzone. Nov 20th, 2007. Tauranga and Mount Maunganui. This temporary setback only furthered my determination to get back out there and try again depsite further successive waves battering me back landing several times on my sides and a wave hitting me squarely in the face leaving me gasping for breath. Tags: tauranga and mount maunganui. Posted at 04:00 pm. I May Be Going Down, But Im Going Down Swinging. Moeraki boulders and dunedin. Tauranga and mount maunganui.

Opononi - Adventures In New Zealand
http://philip-adamson.livejournal.com/8652.html
Adventures In New Zealand. 3 Months In Godzone. I found the most interesting of the creatures to be the sharks and stingrays, a few of which have a fin-span of around 2 metres and they pass by within a few inches of your face which for want of a better description, is pretty awesome. We were soon on the road again and we had a long drive ahead of us towards the tip of the north island, most of it along vast expanses of countryside and all, unfortunately, quite boring. Moeraki boulders and dunedin.

Whitianga - Adventures In New Zealand
http://philip-adamson.livejournal.com/9602.html
Adventures In New Zealand. 3 Months In Godzone. Our journey to the Coromandel Peninsula takes us back through Auckland before striking east and north into the Mercury Bay and the town of Whitianga. The scenery reminds me of much of the south island and Lou and I talk about where we will settle for the duration of our working holiday after we've finished touring. We are undecided between Christchurch and Dunedin (the former taking first prize in the end). We take a stroll along the main street. As it ...

Auckland: Part II - Adventures In New Zealand
http://philip-adamson.livejournal.com/8381.html
Adventures In New Zealand. 3 Months In Godzone. Our second and last day in Auckland started with a lie-in until 10am and a visit to the laundry room which means while the clothes get to being clean, we can nip across the road to buy something for lunch and read the newspapers in the back garden of the hostel and take turns checking our emails.

http://philip-adamson.livejournal.com/8978.html
Adventures In New Zealand. 3 Months In Godzone. Needless to say, we were up at first light and I wisely avoided the showers lest I was to become dirtier than when I used them and we hit the road. Our small journey takes us out to and around a few small islands and up and down the coastline and we are now awake and enjoying ourselves. After exploring the rest of the town, which doesn't take long, we buy some provisions and choose a pleasant harbour view restaurant to eat at where both order a steak fillet...

Adventures In New Zealand. 3 Months In Godzone. Nov 19th, 2007. This morning we head for Cathedral Cove on the south east corner of Mercury Bay where besides some striking geological formations, there is also supposedly fantastic snorkling in the nearby Gemstone Bay. Unfortunately for us, despite the weather forecast for another glorious day, it is quite grey and overcast and the conditions do not make for water activities. For the full stroy. Our final expedition of the day takes us back to Whitianga an...

Adventures In New Zealand. 3 Months In Godzone. Nov 11th, 2007. Today marks our first month in New Zealand and it seems much longer because of the travelling but it has been a blast and we are looking forward to what lies ahead. Our next destination is the Waitomo caves - famous for its limestone caves and glow-worms and are believed to be over two million years old. Comes from the Maori wai. Meaning water and tomo. Meaning sinkhole which translates as water passing through a hole. Posted at 08:05 pm.
