More Journeys in the North Island

Since I’ve only seen the 1st and 3rd Lord of the Rings films and have never read the books, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the Hobbiton set. Still, I knew Ollie was excited about it and we made our way to the small town of Matamata to see the farm where the scenes in Hobbiton were...

Great News!

I know it's been a little longer than planned after the last post, but nothing much has happened, so you can forgive me for sparing unfortuniate readers the tedium. Anyway, yesterday I finally managed to find accommodation! Actually, using the word ‘I’ is a little/lot misleading – my mother...

Day one minus one

Well Well Well - Its Wellywood in Wellington!

Hangover + awful night sleep due to our new drunk dorm-mate + his girl friend he brought back for the night + leaving at 8am to get our ferry ride to the North Island = a very unimpressed Tim and Priya! ;o) We didnt let our miserable night of no sleep hinder us, and in fact the ferry ride was...

Not long to go now!!

Only 8 days to go before we jet off, getting excited now. Think we have everything organised. Thought we set up this travel blog so everyone can read what we get up to, see where we travel on the map and maybe if we work out how to upload photos you can see those as well.
