Hello, we are in the adventure capital of New Zealand (and, probably the world) so today we have been....doing our washing. No, but Ed has been on a jet boat ride and I've been horse riding too. Queenstown is a beautifully situated town on the banks of Lake Wakatipu, surrounded by snowy mountains. The area around Queenstown was used for filming large sections of Lord of the Rings but we haven't seen any orcs yet. We have been overloading on beautiful scenery hav...

We have made our way down to Dunedin - we have been in New Zealand for around a week now. We have seen some beautiful scenery along the way: in particular on the Banks Peninsula and in and around Mount Cook National Park.

We just need to sort out how to watch the world cup and life will be perfect.

We have driven along the...

We took the Groovy Grape tour down from Alice Springs to Adelaide via Uluru and Kings Canyon, which was spectacular and great fun. We were camping out in swags (glorified sleeping bags) under the stars, around the campfire. It was a bit cold, but we soon found out that it got warmer the more beer you drank. We had a recovery day in Adelaide, mainly doing l...
