Back in the Bay Area
San Francisco, CA After more than a year on the road, strange to be back in our old stomping grounds.
Last stop before North America
Auckland, New Zealand Dumping camping gear and packing up for the big flight to San Francisco.
Volcanic Goodness
Lake Taupo, New Zealand Arguably the best day walk in NZ – steamy, smelly, geological weirdness.
Martinborough farm stay
Martinborough, New Zealand Classic cars, good food, wine and exceptional company in rural heaven.
Almost like San Fran
Wellington, New Zealand Cloudy, but none of the torrential rains they’re getting further up north.
Dolphins, seafood, and sunshine.
Kaikoura, New Zealand Staying at the Dusky Lodge. p.s. We came to swim with the Dolphins (Hector Dolphins). A highlight of the trip. We had to reserve our spot months in advance!!! No videos of us in the water, but you can see them before we jumped in (in the videos above)
Rain, clouds, and lots of ice
Franz Joseph, New Zealand Where better to spend our time when the entire country is covered in rain clouds, but in a rain forest whilst admiring glaciers?
Greymouth
Greymouth, New Zealand Time to float through a cave on a tube… p.s. Day trip to Greymouth Glowworms and Glowworm Caves. No pictures of the glowworms.
Hanmer Springs
Hanmer Springs, New Zealand Time for some thermal spring soaking goodness… …But not until after the Sheep come home.
The Big City on the South Island
Christchurch, New Zealand Often described as the most British city in NZ…
New Zealand – eco-paradise
Auckland, New Zealand Fine Sauvignon Blanc and counting many sheep… P.s. This was the last leg of our 12 month trip. Typically, we would take time each month to post photos and stories about our previous month’s adventures. But since there was no “month 13”, I guess that never happened. By the time we returned …

To the Beach!

Siem Reap
Siem Reap, Cambodia Currently staying at Green Village Palace and moving 10/1/07 to Angkor Shadow Hotel [p.s. This must be the point at which we “burned out” with the travel blog updates. Photos continue for a while, but the journaling seems to have dried up] Where I stayed Green Village Angkor Hotel – No. 147, …
Vientiane
Vientiane, Lao Peoples Dem Rep A day in the capital. We arrived at the Vientiane bus station around 4:30 in the morning, happy to be in one piece, and to find out luggage still on the roof. A tuk-tuk style truk dropped us off in the middle of the city, but it may has well …
Chilling out in the Ancient Capital of Lao PDR
Luang Prabang, Lao Peoples Dem Rep We arrived safely in Luang Prabang, but not without incident. Less than half way through our “1 day” river cruise, the engine on our boat blew. Apparently the gear box was shot after the captain tried to engage two engines at once. They managed to pull over to the …
