Although we were sad to be leaving old and new friends and moving on in our journey through the eastern USA, the time came the morning after the wedding and, having spent time over breakfast with some of the others and had an opportunity to thank the bride and bridegroom and their families, the carContinue reading “Power!”

Melbourne and Sydney, January 2011
Having spent a couple of hours at the Antarctic Experience, which is very conveniently sited near the airport in Christchurch, it was time to check-in and board the flight back to Melbourne. It’s a city I like and I knew I would enjoy it even more than usual when I heard that Dianne and JohnContinue reading “Melbourne and Sydney, January 2011”
Back to Christchurch and beyond via the TranzAlpine
Boarding the train at Greymouth along with other tourists and a few locals I was pleased to find that, as requested, my designated seat was right by the viewing car where it was much easier to take photos. These carriages are a bit like cattletrucks – no seats and no glass in the windows –Continue reading “Back to Christchurch and beyond via the TranzAlpine”
… and yet more from New Zealand’s South island
The next day I continued the drive northwards along the west coast. Once again I wasn’t sure how far I would get but had three places in mind to visit. Although the drive was not as spectacular as that from Haast to the glaciers, it was beautiful – cattle grazing in meadows at the footContinue reading “… and yet more from New Zealand’s South island”
…and even more ‘How Great Thou Art!’ moments
Sitting at the computer in Chiang Mai, I find it hard to believe that it is just a month since I was travelling the South Island. I’ve only been back a week and it feels like a looooooong tme, though I’ve achieved very little as I almost feel as if I’m still on holiday. ThatContinue reading “…and even more ‘How Great Thou Art!’ moments”
…and there are still more!
January 3, 2011 was the day I realised how long holidays can be. Waking early, I settled the account at the hotel and drove back in to Dunedin. In many ways it was much more like a small country town in Scotland than the capital after whom it is named; a very unassuming town toContinue reading “…and there are still more!”
More ‘How Great Thou Art!’ moments from New Zealand’s South Island
It’s strange how the weather on this trip has been just right for some activities and just wrong for some! Our enjoyment of the vistas of the Coromandel Peninsula had been diminished a bit by the rain, but we saw a different side of it. On this first day of 2011 I was able toContinue reading “More ‘How Great Thou Art!’ moments from New Zealand’s South Island”
The nomadic life
I’ve been on the road nearly a month now and it’s feeling very normal! Between leaving Chiangmai in October and arriving in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, at the beginning of November, I spent time in Melbourne where I was able to share in a lovely wedding and toured Tasmania – travelling on my ownContinue reading “The nomadic life”
