Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: A National Identity Crisis that Involved Green Hot Pants.
http://ginamccune.blogspot.com/2009/04/national-identity-crisis-that-involved.html
Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Monday, 27 April 2009. A National Identity Crisis that Involved Green Hot Pants. Today we left Westport and headed to our next destination – the Poo Pub. Yup. That’s right, the Poo Pub, which isn’t the most pleasant name for a pub, but it was actually a really great place! The pub is near Lake Mahinapua (Maa-he-nea-poo-a), hence the nickname, Poo Pub – nobody can say Mahinapua! But I’m getting ahead of myself. First we made a stop in Greymouth. 8221; – I had an idea in ...

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: May 2015

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Sunday, 31 May 2015. Our time in Munich has come to an end. We made the most of the free breakfast and after the usual last minute checks we were off to the airport and headed for England. When we first arrived in Munich I wasn’t sure that I’d like it - it was big and busy but it grew on me. In a relatively short period of time we managed to see and do an awful lot but I’ll definitley be back to see what else Germany has to offer. Castle on a Cloud. We got a tram, a train and...

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: December 2013
http://ginamccune.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Tuesday, 24 December 2013. December has been a busy month but we have managed to fit in a few adventures. Not surprisingly several of these adventures have involved food but not just any food – burgers! It feels like you're in New York but you're in a hutong in Beijing! The church itself was very impressive and there was a nice mix of westerners and Chinese people, there were even nuns! On the way home we walked through a few busy hutongs which reminded me that even though we...

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: Little House on the Mountain
http://ginamccune.blogspot.com/2015/07/little-house-on-mountain.html
Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Sunday, 19 July 2015. Little House on the Mountain. Unfortunately our time in Charltons has come to an end – it’s probably for the best, I was getting a little bit too used to my fluffy white robe and swimming in the pool. We packed up, checked out, stopped in Banff for some cash and then we were off. The check in at our next hotel didn’t open until four so we decided to stop off at Johnson’s Canyon. When I was tired of beating Rory (he might say he won but that’s defin...

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: Hello Christchurch.
http://ginamccune.blogspot.com/2009/06/hello-christchurch.html
Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Monday, 8 June 2009. Today we drove from Queenstown to Christchurch! Tiggs, Gemma, Shane and I were all able to get on the same bus which was nice and we had a girl driver, who was very nice and only slightly crazy! To go slightly off topic - this is for anyone that was on my Geography Field Trip down the Peninsula – remember when I saw those Elephants in the garden in Greyabbey and nobody believed me? Remember how I went on about it for days? One of The Boys. The Good, The B...

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: Night at the Museum. In the Daytime.
http://ginamccune.blogspot.com/2009/04/night-at-museum-in-daytime.html
Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Sunday, 5 April 2009. Night at the Museum. In the Daytime. Today I set my alarm clock and I physically couldn’t get out of bed! This happens quite a lot to me, so don’t be alarmed, I just slept for a few extra hours! I did like the Museum, it was really good, but I think I might have liked the Auckland Museum more! Auckland had so much information on Evolution, Space, Animals, Marine Wildlife, and the World Wars – all the geeky things that I love! It’s so pretty! After making...

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: February 2014

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Friday, 14 February 2014. 10 Things I Hate About You (Beijing). As our time in Beijing draws to a close, I am feeling quite sentimental. The past six months have been full of exciting adventures and while I have loved my time at the other side of the world, there are a few things I’m more than happy to leave behind! Oh, and remember to bring your own toilet paper if you come to China as it isn’t supplied anywhere. 4 The spitting/hawking/belching/coughing – this is somet...

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: November 2013
http://ginamccune.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Sunday, 24 November 2013. Football Crazy, Football Mad. I have managed to reach the grand old age of twenty three without ever actually seeing a real life football match. Yes, I’ve pretended to watch the odd World Cup qualifier or Champions League final, but I’ve never been to an actual stadium, until today! There were soldiers everywhere! The match was in the Workers Stadium, which is one of the Ten Great Buildings. These building were built in 1959, to celebrate the 10.

Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure.: Banff Beginnings
http://ginamccune.blogspot.com/2015/07/banff-beginnings.html
Tiny Netbook. Big Adventure. Sunday, 5 July 2015. Despite being a relatively cheap Motel/Hotel, the Kelowna Inn and Suites offered a free breakfast. As someone who is kind of sort of from the continent, I would like to apologise to the world for our role in breakfast. Why don’t we have sausages and bacon each and every morning? I don’t know. Why do we only offer yoghurt, fruit, healthy looking cereal and an assortment of pastries? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Tuesday 19 th April It has taken me a ...
