The beer’s on track
So, what do you do when your passengers are out in town? Try new restaurants. While looking for decent restaurants to take my groups to, I came across this one place that I couldn’t get out of my head. I wasn’t sure I could take my passengers there though, so…
Hectic times call for hectic posts
Fewwww… time flies when you’re having fun. It’s been hectic lately. Not bad hectic, but full on. In April I left New Zealand with pain in my heart. I didn’t want to go! But I had an amazing new opportunity waiting for me. After spending 6 days in my home…
Weekly Photo Challenge: New
A new morning. The sun is rising. Another day of adventures begins. Nobody knows what lies ahead. I hope I get to experience many of these days this year. I hope their are many amazing places to explore, preferably with good company. This photo reminds me of how great it…
Memory medley
Time flies. It’s true. Suddenly I’ve entered 2015. I didn’t even realise it. The new year comes with new chances, change, more adventure, endless possibilities and lots of choices. But that’s all in the future. Today, the first of January, was the same as yesterday. I rode my bike to…

Five places that deserve some more attention
It’s always a tough choice to decide where the next trip goes to. At every destination I’ll hear about new places to go, and at every place I’ll find out about more things to do in the area, which make me want to come back. Generally I’ll go to a…
Calling your Bluff
If you want to go to the Southernmost point of New Zealand, you’ll end up at Steward Island. Since many tourists don’t take the ferry to the small island, there is the southern tip of the South Island instead. On all the brochures you see the pole with the bright…
Park near the water
Summer is coming and that means we all pack our bags, slap on some sunscreen and hit the road. Summer is the perfect time for a roadtrip and what better way to enjoy the sun than camping? On my recent road trip, however short it turned out to be, I…
A road not easily forgotten.
It was only a half hour drive to the Moeraki boulders, but my car couldn’t handle it anymore. Suddenly the temperature gage went up high in the sky and when I left the state highway for the last few hundred meters to the boulders, the engine just stopped. I was…
