  1. Wellington… Capital City!

    by Ste

    After our stay at Tongariro National Park where I completed the 12 mile alpine crossing, we headed to our next destination on the west coast of the North Island; Wanganui (also spelt Whanganui). We only stayed for a single night but still felt a little stuck for things to do. The main attraction is the […]

  2. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing

    by Ste

    On Tuesday, I took on what is widely recognised as New Zealand’s greatest one day walk and certainly the most popular; the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. It’s a 20 kilometre/12 mile trek across an extremely unique volcanic landscape in the middle of New Zealand’s north island. The area is home to three active volcanoes, the most […]

  5. A Fleeting Visit to Napier

    by Ste

    After our lengthy stay in Gisborne over new year we headed further south to our sixth stop near Napier, which was to be a much more fleeting visit. We stayed at a delightful little holiday park on the remote Waipatiki Beach, a little over 30 minutes drive from Napier itself. The park was called, quite, […]

  6. Gisborne – Lots of sun, NYE and a real hidden gem in Rere Rockslide

    by Ste

    It’s now our last night in Gisborne (of 5) and it’s been really enjoyable – somewhat surprisingly so. We booked these 5 nights here months back as we thought we’d have trouble finding space at this time of year, but more recently we felt that 5 nights was probably going to be too many because […]
