We have really been lucky on this trip in regards to weather. We’ve been able to do everything we have wanted to do. The weather took a turn today. We woke up to it absolutely bucketing down rain. We are enduring a polar storm that has come up from Antarctica. It is very, very cold. […]

Hello readers! Today we allowed ourselves to sleep in a little bit to top off a nice night of relaxing that we had last night. We packed our gear into the car and hit the road to our next destination; the biggest city on the South Island, Christchurch. We had a short stop for breakfast […]

Hello everyone. It was an early morning wake up this morning because the mighty Eagles were playing at 6am. It was a great start to the morning with another victory. We toasted up some bagels and had cream cheese and strawberry jam on them (which we discovered in Wanaka) which were delicious with a cup […]

The day started off just like it did yesterday with a quick visit to the hotel restaurant for a breakfast platter which was yet again very nice and convenient.

Hello everyone and welcome to a special edition of our blog. If you haven’t guessed by the title – today is our wedding day. The reason we decided to go to NZ in the first place is because we knew we wanted to get married here. We crafted the rest of the trip around this […]

We started today off with an early wake up to watch the mighty Philadelphia Eagles get a great victory. A nice way to start the day. After that we packed our stuff up and moved to an upgraded room that we paid for, for the next two nights that has a hot tub and a […]

Hello everyone. We woke up to another sunny NZ day. The weather over here has actually been beautiful. All sun and clear sky. I don’t suspect it will stay that way but we will enjoy it while we can. Daylight savings started here today too so we should have some later days. We decided to […]
