My friend Ronan from my NZ bus tour has a craicking (you'll see what I did there) blog where he had written hilarious profiles of everyone that was on it. Obviously some of the jokes you probably won't understand but to me and everyone else it's absolutely amazing. He's a very funny guy so you…
New Zealand
New Zealand? Completed it
I bloody love everyone in the photo! Hoping Australia is just as fun.
The final days of NZ
I'm pretty much at the end of my NZ trip and its safe to say that I'm sad about it. What an incredible country and what an incredible 3 weeks it has been. Tonight we're going out for one final outing so I'll probably get really drunk and sing on a table again. Before that…
Hiking and biking
The last few days have been terrible for my legs. One day we hiked 12.5kms and two days later I completed a 35km bike ride which I was very proud of! Halfway through the bike ride I met a very lovely cat who did actually like being picked up! Also, I did curling for the…
Milford Sounds
Today we went to Milford Sounds which according to Wikipedia is... a fiord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island within Fiordland National Park, Piopiotahi (Milford Sound) Marine Reserve, and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. It has been judged the world's top travel destination in an international survey (the 2008 Travelers' Choice Destinations Awards by TripAdvisor)[1][2]and is acclaimed as New Zealand's most famous tourist destination.[3]Rudyard…
Franz Josef and Queenstown
Big update as I haven't done one in a while so expect a bit of a picture overload! So first off I was supposed to go up a helicopter to see some awesome glaciers but the weather was too bad so I couldn't! I was really looking forward so I'm a tad disappointed but sort…
The one with all the driving
The last two days have mainly involved driving and being stuck in a van for nearly 4-5 hours is not the one. We stopped a few times and one of them involved looking at Seals at a place called Camp Foulwind which had some amazing scenic beach views and today we visited an area known…
The one with all the walking
Went on an intense 12.5km hike yesterday and these are the photos that I took during it. Good times! Ended up on a farm called Old MacDonald's (cue endless jokes) and there were some bloody llamas there!
From the north to the south
After a lovely week on the north island of New Zealand we headed down to the south today (this was written on the 5th December) on a three hour ferry ride which was very relaxing as the sea was calm. The night before though, man...I've been drinking so much on this tour on the country.…
Hobbiton movie set visit
No words. This place was bloody amazing. Enjoy the photos!
