Pretty Tired
Came back yesterday, after finishing my Seven Wonders trip. The natural wonders (Snowdon and Pistyll Rhaeadr) were great, but the other ones were a little underwhelming. Still, the history behind some of the wonders is pretty interesting.
Seven Wonders of Wales
The Seven Wonders of Wales await me this weekend. I’ve already been to Snowdon and Pistyll Rhaeadr before, but would like to do them all at the same time. I may well be accompanied by an esteemed guest! You can … Continue reading
Oh Canada!
Yeah baby, off to Canada again in September. There’s nothing much going on in the job-market at the moment, due to the school-holidays. Need to keep myself occupied for August – might go and do the 90 mile Hadrian’s Wall … Continue reading
Game On!
No, not the very funny British Comedy, but a games console exhibition at ACMI in Melbourne. Great to play some old classic arcade games like Asteroids and Space Invaders. Also great to see some classic games like Monkey Island, Elite … Continue reading
Back in Wellington
Had a good couple of days in Kaikoura, did some whale watching. Thought about swimming with dolphins, but couldn’t justify the cost. Besides they have Orca and Great White Sharks in these waters! And Sperm Whales, which can do some … Continue reading

Mount Cook
I’m now in Mount Cook (village). You can see Mt. Cook itself really well from the Hermitage Hotel – the Ed Hillary Cafe has a great view (I’ve just had a coffee there). Stunning scenery all around, and getting colder … Continue reading
Musings
I think the next Muse album should be called ‘Um’. It will appeal to my word-play sense of fun. I’m in Westport at the moment, which isn’t very exciting. Taking the TranzAlpine train from Greymouth to Christchurch today, which I’m … Continue reading
Now in Picton
Took the ferry from Wellington to Picton yesterday – the crossing was really good, just a gentle swell speeding us along. Travelling down the Queen Charlotte Sound was like being back in Norway. Going to explore the South Island for … Continue reading
No Boots
Currently in Wellington for three nights, in anticipation of going over to the South Island on Monday. Going to explore Wellington, though not for boots.
