Swimming with Dolphins!

After leaving Christchurch this morning with the KiwiExperience bus, we arrived in KaiKoura late this morning. During the trip to Kaikoura the busdriver gave us the oppertunity to book some of the activities which you’re able to do in the destination you’re heading to. Then the guy books the excursion for you, and once you arrive all is already set and...

Welcome to Kiwi-land

After a short time of sleeping the last couple of days, I finally arrived in Christchurch. I booked a hostel from the airport of Christchurch and grabbed a shuttle bus. The hostel is right in the center of Christchurch. Christchurch is one of the smallast towns I seen in my life. There’s not too much going on. The weather is pretty good, although it’s...

Off to New Zealand..

Well.. What can I say.. Another few days have passed since the last time I wrote something in my blog. The couple of days after the weekend were not really good weather-wise. Cloudy and even some rain from time to time. I decided to hit the gym, which was really really good. It was good to work out a bit again and burn off some of those beers I’ve been drinking...

Back again!

Back again!

After two days in a stinky, warm, wall-holed hostel (rats and cockroaches have been reported walking through the kitchen) – I am luckily back at my favorite hostel.. The WakeUp. The past few days I’ve been visiting the Australia Aquarium – which was really really cool (I’ll put some pics up later) and yesterday I’ve been to a nearby...

Change of hostel..

After a few wonderful days in the best hostel you would probably ever find, WakeUp, I unfortunately need to move to another hostel. I wanted to extend my stay in the WakeUp hostel once again, but unfortunately all rooms were fully booked so I had no other option than to find me anoter one. The hostels WakeUp suggested were all fully booked. In the end I’ve...

The first few days in Sydney..

It’s the fourth day here in Sydney and I already feel truly at home here. The weather has been nothing but excellent and I’ve seen lots of things already and met a lot of people as well so far. I am staying at the wakeup hostel now and I simply love it! I am staying at a room with 7 other people from both England and Canada. Yesterday I’ve been to...

In the land of Oz….

After a 30+ hour travel from Holland I’ve finally arrived in the warm and sunny Sydney. My travel started last thursday when I started of from Amsterdam to London Heathrow. After 2 hours of waiting in Heathrow the long flight from London to Tokyo started. Although I wasn’t really looking forward to going there, it wasn’t all that bad after all. I...
