When Rarotonga first comes into sight out of the plane window, your first thought is “How the heck are we landing on that!” The question is soon answered after going into what can only be described as a dive bomb, hard landing at the edge of water and then a deafening roar of brakes and…
Our North Island outdoor adventure consisted of both planned and unplanned activities, we conquered Great Walks, Volcano’s and walked, albeit not easily, into Mordor. We have compiled a few clips of these adventures into a short video below. Our first outdoor adventure was our second Great Walk, the Whanganui Journey. Even though it is labelled…
Our journey in New Zealand has come to an end and sitting here in the Cook Islands it seems like it was so long ago, but then I see the blackened toenail I am about to lose and Marcin limp by and I realize it was only a few days ago. New Zealand really is…
If we thought we knew little about Australia, it turns out we knew even less about New Zealand. Much like Australia, New Zealand is just so very far away; it is small, a little bit bigger than Britain and smaller than Newfoundland and Labrador. It has a small population and causes literally no trouble…
It has been a wee bit since our last post, which is purely the result of 1: Very dodgy internet coverage and costs in Z-Land and 2: We have been in the backcountry most of the time! We will have a post up about New Zealand and the South Island specifically with some pictures soon.…

One of the things we loved the most about Australia was just how helpful everyone was. No matter where we were there was always someone willing to bequeath advice, help you plan a route, suggest interesting places to visit, tell you the best campsites…. or to show you where you went wrong when you turned…
CRIKEY! That phrase boomed into our living room religiously growing up as my sister and I never missed an episode of “The Crocodile Hunter” series. The phrase uttered by Steve Irwin was his most well known among his other enthusiastic statements about wildlife including other favourites of ours – “Isn’t she gorgeous”, “Feisty little…
Better late than never…. We had a bit of time in Port Douglas, (Australia) to sift through some of the video footage we took during our Safari in Tanzania. We took way more pictures than we did video, but we thought we would put together a few clips of what we did tape. Both pictures…
Our Love Affair with Australia Australia is the flattest, driest and probably deadliest inhabited continent on earth and we are in love with it. Maybe it was the fact that we just left a country in which we had been robbed or it could be the 21 sleep deprived hours we spent locked up in…
