It wasn't me who got food poisoning this time, but it was unfortunate nevertheless.

This was the view from the hotel room!

My last few days in Australia (in the not too distant future, anyway) were spent in Perth.

It was still raining heavily when we reached the secluded River Valley, a beautiful and peaceful spot in the middle of the forest.

One of the early settlers and his wife ... Finally Queenstown, adventure capital of New Zealand!

Kiwi Experience is a hop on - hop off deal I booked back in April (2 passes for the price of one, always plan well ahead for good offers!) and after my paragliding course I hopped on in Christchurch and went to Kaikoura, a small fishing village a couple of hours north of Christchurch.

I was very excited about going to New Zealand. Not sure why, maybe because it's the furthest away from home I've ever been (12 hour time difference), or because of all the Lord of the Rings movie sites ...
