Rocky Road

To celebrate our fifth anniversary (wow – where have the past 5 years gone?!) we headed to Berlin. The plan was to go to Italy, but it is expensive, and at the moment we are watching our pennies a little bit (just a little though…..)

So on Wednesday night we headed off to the German capital. [...]

We are just back from a 2-week whirlwind trip to our beautiful homeland, New Zealand. It was so lovely to catch up with so many friends and family, but I am pretty sure that next time we will come for longer. It would be nicer to actually sit, relax and enjoy the company of all [...]

Waiting in line for the Pearl Jam concert last year, we got talking to another Kiwi couple and they told us (among many other things) about their trip to Belgium for Anzac Day. And it is something that sat well for us. We don’t like the idea of Gallipoli on Anzac Day as that is [...]

I think our trip to the French Alps over Easter has just fueled Stocky’s addiction to snow and his desire to be a Snowboard Bum for a season.

I must admit it was a great trip, and we couldn’t have asked for better conditions from a Spring snow trip if we had tried. We [...]

Usually it is Stocky’s domain to write about our trips to the snow. He did it last year and the year before. However, he has decided that the blog isn’t needed as we are no longer being tourists, we are just living our lives. But I know the fans would be dissapointed if we stopped [...]

Some piccies from our four days in Valencia.

When you think of Germany you think of beer.
When you think of Germany in October you think of Octoberfest (although for some reason Octoberfest is in September…)

Not being a huge beer lover (unless flavoured with fruitiness to make it sweet tasting, and then I like Belgian beers!) I was all for a trip to Germany [...]

I must admit I wasn’t that excited about our long weekend in Amsterdam. Don’t get me wrong, I love to travel anytime, anyplace. But I guess my expectations were low.

Sex shows, prostitutes and drugs don’t feature highly on my things that a good holiday destination should have.
Great food, friendly people, pretty sourroundings and lots to [...]

We promised ourselves a decent summer holiday this year, somewhere with plenty of sun, sea and good food.  With the end of summer looming, we settled on Greece as our destination, and have had 10 fantastic sun filled days – even I managed to get something resembling a tan!  Athens was the first stop on [...]

After writing the first 1000 words of this VERY LONG blog entry – be warned! – I started to get tired. Go figure! So the first part which was written on the day we returned may be in ridiculous detail, and last bit (finished today!) may be a little less so. But enjoy!

We arrived back [...]
