The Jewel Box - Lake TekapoAfter spending 5 days in Kaikoura, I decided to backtrack a little bit and head to Lake Tekapo. It meant going back through Christchurch and on out to the southwest, towards the mountains. New Zealand VideoThis is a little video I put together on a recent trip to New Zealand (Chris Benny). Tongariro CrossingArmed with my day pack and an oversupply of trail mix, I set out to tackle what is hailed as one of the world’s greatest—if not, the best—day hikes. Stunning National ParksBeautiful pictures showcasing the stunning scenery on offer from New Zealand and it's National Parks. The CoromandelNext up was the much more exciting and jaw dropping Cathedral Cove. The Coromandel in general has some amazing coastline and this is one of the gems along the way. Things get really crowded here in the summer and we’re glad to be here at this time of the year when the crowds have subsisded and you can get a few beaches all to yourself. Outdoor New ZealandRead Lauryn's blog for great images of outdoor New Zealand activities. New Zealand's South Island - A Wheelchair Users GuideThe South Island of New Zealand has often been described as rolling the best of the whole worlds scenery in one small accessible package. It is blessed with magnificent Alpine scenery from the Southern Alps, which form the spine of the island. New Zealand - South IslandWe arrived in the south island around half 9 in the evening so we quickly found a campsite in Picton to crash at, the obvious choice again is the Kiwi sites as they are always cheaper and always a good standard. Taking time out at Maruia SpringsOn a recent visit from Murchison to Christchurch, travelling through the parklands of the Lewis Pass, we discovered the natural hot pools at Muruia Springs. A natural thermal wonderland, these pools were a welcome saviour on a chilly winter afternoon and the chance to soak in our own private hot pool, gazing out at the snow-capped Southern Alps, was far to good to pass up. Zorbing in RotoruaIn the 1990’s, two kiwis were looking for a new adventure challenge and came up with the idea of jumping inside a large inflatable ball and rolling around for fun! They gave it the name ‘Zorbing’ and it is now a worldwide business with franchise agents in many countries, from Sweden, to Ireland, and Korea to Thailand.
