New Zealand – No Laughing or Smiling
the haka dance We hopped off the bus and arrived in the Maori village. Our bus driver told us who our chief was and we went to the front. There were three buses so three Chiefs. Our chiefs’ name was Morris. Cairo our bus driver told us “no smiling, laughing, or don’t poke your tongues out,Continue reading “New Zealand – No Laughing or Smiling”
New Zealand -Sticky Out Tongues
Chiefs When we went to see the Maori we got on a bus and started to drive. When we got there it was very exciting because at the start they did a dance where they stick their tongue at you so you get scared and you are not allowed to laugh because it is rude.Continue reading “New Zealand -Sticky Out Tongues”

NZ- Yucky Squid
I went to Te Papa on February 3 2015. I went with Hilary, Jemima, and Millie, because mummy and daddy went and did a walk. I saw a squid. It was at least a couple of meters. It was in a big glass case filled with some kind of liquid to keep it looking alive.Continue reading “NZ- Yucky Squid”
New Zealand 8 – Precious time alone

We will look after the kids, while you go off and spend some time alone together. WhyContinue reading “New Zealand 8 – Precious time alone”
Pancakes & venison
New Zealand, South Island… After our helicopter extravaganza on Fox Glacier, we enjoy a picnic by a river and another cold swim before stocking up at the small (and expensive) supermarket and resuming our journey northwards along this stunning coast. We cross several rivers, all of which are a different shade of blue but allContinue reading “Pancakes & venison”
New Zealand 7 – The Glorious South
Dynamite needs a new cam belt and a new water pump… This really is getting expensive, on the other hand Heather and Toby did pick it up for a complete bargain, so maybe now that we have virtually reconstructed it, it will be worth a whole lot more when we sell it. We are forced toContinue reading “New Zealand 7 – The Glorious South”
New Zealand 6 – The Wild West
We arrive in Pukekara, and stop when we see a cabin and rooms to rent sign. We stay the next 2 days in this unusual place. The cabin is huge, in fact it’s a house, larger than any cabin we’ve stayed in and dates back to the 1800s (that’s old here). There’s more room hereContinue reading “New Zealand 6 – The Wild West”
Waterfalls that go up and ice that flows down
Our NZ South Island road trip continues as we drive south from Wanaka to Queenstown and on to Te Anau, where we stay for a few days in a backpackers hostel. As a family, we are the oldest and youngest in the place as the vast majority are 20-something backpackers. It’s a fun atmosphere, withContinue reading “Waterfalls that go up and ice that flows down”
