So we find ourselves in the country of butter and lamb. New Zealand is a picture wherever you look. Sheep lambs and cows are everywhere and green pastures continuing for miles and miles…it’s beautiful! We flew into Auckland and lovely Jodi and her fiancé Paul picked us up from the airport…it was a warm welcome and the first night in Auckland was spent drinking a tasty Sauvignon Blanc from Oyster bay in a café on Ponsonby Road, the hip and funky part of to...

Time in Oz was coming to an end and we went to Adam and Anna’s place for the last weekend of our journey. The fun did not stop here and Adam and Anna took us out on his boat for a cruise on the Gold Coast with Gary and Jodi.

So that was Australia in a nutshell and more of an adventure you can not ask for. I...

Anna had a bit of a fall but we won’t ...

In the middle of the island is a dense rain forest with the most stunning natural freshwater lakes that has crystal clear fresh water...it is an amazing place. We teamed up with a group of Germans and hired a 4WD to conquer the sandy stretch ahead. We camped in tents in the evening and visited t...
