Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure: May 2006
http://hopetheresnospiders.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Monday, May 29, 2006. Just to finish off the New Zealand leg of the trip, which we actually finished a little over two weeks ago now. Mt Taranaki, which is also known as Mt. Egmont, is a dormant (I think) volcano which is most impressive because there are no other mountains around, just one big one all by itself. Anyhow, our last stop in New Zealand was the famous Waitomo glow worm caves. We took the gentle walk and boat ride option (rather than the other more hectic we...

Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Sunday, July 16, 2006. Singapore - it's small, but then it's very far away. Just popping in for a look round on our way to Thailand. I'll let Jen demonstrate a few things we've been up to. First there was the fresh coconuts. Then the fresh Tiger Beer (it's brewed here, so this is like culture, I think). [yes Col, LIKE culture, but not ACTUALLY it]. There was eating with our fingers. Chinese temples like the Yueh Hai Ching. We took a cruise on the Singapore River . And t...

Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Thursday, November 17, 2005. Crouching Jen Hidden Toilet Roll - Inca Trail. Ladies and gentlemen,. Toiletarily speaking the Inca trail is not to be sniffed at. Seriously, if you re not done within one breath - its tough, you need to leave anyway. Its a shame in these situations that not all of us are blessed with Col s low sense of smell. And its a hike right, in the blazing sunshine, so you re supposed to drink a lot of water. Posted by Jen and Col at 6:00 am. Thank go...

Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Thursday, January 19, 2006. Fernie - A quaint little drinking town with a ski problem. OK, time to get this story up to date. We've been in Fernie for a month and a bit now - a total of 35 days on the hill (32 for Her Laziness) and another 6 each in Lake Louise means that we've skied six or seven holidays worth already. But lets recap on the events since we left Lake Louise. It's easy to meet people because the town is pretty small, in fact it's hard to walk the 4 block...

Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Tuesday, December 13, 2005. Now we reckon the reason why they say 'sleepless in Seattle' is because everyone, and we mean. Has a cup of coffee in their hand at. Times Walking down the street, queueing for a bus, shopping, and of course while sitting in a Coffee shop. of which there are numerous. So not to be left out we joined in the crowds and had a lotta coffee, well it'd be rude not to eh? Careful with the language Jen, we're not in Canada yet eh? Eagle-eyed viewers ...

Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure: April 2006
http://hopetheresnospiders.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Wednesday, April 26, 2006. The land of kiwis, kiwis and kiwis! So we've finally made it to New Zealand, arriving in Auckland a day and a half after leaving Hawaii, due to the whole dateline malarky. The first thing we did was hire ourselves a little campervan. Everybody meet Vinnie (as in Vincent Van Go! We have two stoves, a microwave, running water, a fridge, heated towel rail, dvd/tv, toaster, cuddly toy. Before taking a proper tour on the Mack Attack. There is so mu...

Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Tuesday, June 06, 2006. Travelling In A Fried Out Combi. Or not. After all the driving in New Zealand we'll be flying anywhere that's more than 10 minutes walk away. Or at least taking the bus. So we're in Oz, and have been for the last three weeks. Arrived in Sydney to some unexpectedly cool and cloudy weather - having wanted to come to Australia for years this was not what I'd been hoping for. We had a little look around anyway. They've got a bridge. We also took a tr...

Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Tuesday, August 29, 2006. Thailand - the land of smiles, and Cambodia - they know what's wat! Well we could hardly spend all of our time lazing on Malaysian beaches. Not when Thailand has plenty of its own to offer. We had a quick look round Phuket and just as quickly left for Ko Phi Phi. Quick lesson in Thai part 2 - Ao (pronounced Ow) means Bay, Ko means Island and Hat means Beach. OK? After Ko Phi Phi we headed for the beaches around Krabi. Hat Rai Leh is especia...

Jen and Col's Excellent Adventure. Monday, February 13, 2006. Fernie - 62 and counting. Right, time to finish our tour of the mountain. Just a couple of things to mention first. Monday was Waitangi Day, so we let the Kiwis win a game of cricket against an "Aussie" side with some Brits and Canucks making up the numbers. Cricket and beer was enjoyed by all, with a kicker providing a sideshow of skiing and snowboarding tricks of varying degrees of success. Here's a picture of the top of the Currie Bowl that...
