living and working in new zealand: March 2009

http://newlivesnewzealand.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Living and working in new zealand. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Well, 4 years on we decided to try the kayak out on the river. Much more sedate, peaceful, no rip tides, no waves and no container ships. Getting the thing on the roof of the car was an event but we managed with only a few bruises, trapped arms and pulled muscles. Launching on the river was easy - just hop in and push off. So far so good! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. Mount Maunganui, Bay Of Plenty, New Zealand.

living and working in new zealand: February 2008

http://newlivesnewzealand.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Living and working in new zealand. Friday, February 29, 2008. Georgia was at school camp this week so we decided to take full advantage of no school run on our day off and take a trip to Taupo with our friends Norman and Linda. It was a beautiful bright sunny day so heading to the hills seemed the best option. Its about a 2 hour drive to Taupo from Tauranga along quiet roads through some stunning scenery. Taupo itself is dominated by the huge Lake Taupo. It is so vast it could be an ocean, and again ...

living and working in new zealand: May 2008

http://newlivesnewzealand.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Living and working in new zealand. Sunday, May 11, 2008. On Saturday morning all the local teams get together and play a game which gives focus and point to all the practice they do during the week. Anyway, the first match has given Georgia's coach something to work on - they lost BIG TIME but they all seemed to enjoy themselves and its good exercise and if it gets Georgia out of bed on a Saturday morning that's got to be a good thing. Thursday, May 8, 2008. I wonder if he ever considered that while he w...

living and working in new zealand: April 2008

http://newlivesnewzealand.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html

Living and working in new zealand. Monday, April 28, 2008. As it is the school holidays again we decided to visit Hamilton Zoo. It's quite a small zoo but set out very nicely in picturesque grounds and keeps you occupied for a good couple of hours. We did seem to spend quite a lot of time peering into cages that didn't have anything in them but the chimpanzee house is very entertaining and you get a good view of inside their enclosure. Hamilton town is the 4 th. Biggest town in New Zealand (I think!

living and working in new zealand: proper bikes

http://newlivesnewzealand.blogspot.com/2008/12/proper-bikes.html

Living and working in new zealand. Friday, December 5, 2008. Years ago Michael and I were very keen motorcyclists. In our 20's and early 30's we enjoyed hundreds of bike rallies, camping weekends, foreign rallies and a lot of European touring. We both rode our own bikes and we were seasoned riders. But as time goes on circumstances change ie. children! Our motorcycling days petered out to the back burner then merely a pilot light of happy memories. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

living and working in new zealand: November 2008

http://newlivesnewzealand.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Living and working in new zealand. Sunday, November 16, 2008. We got on one of the town buses to Parnel, a small suburb. Its very pretty with boutique shops, bars and cafes. Lots of cobbled paths and hanging flower baskets over shop windows. Very quaint, very expensive. We did manage to stumble on the token Irish bar though with the wonderfully appealing name 'The Bog'. Oh well, this pub looks ok. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. Mount Maunganui, Bay Of Plenty, New Zealand.

living and working in new zealand: Orca on the beach

http://newlivesnewzealand.blogspot.com/2008/09/orca-on-beach.html

Living and working in new zealand. Monday, September 29, 2008. Orca on the beach. There was huge excitement on the beach at Papamoa today. A huge whale (named Nobbie, for some reason) was washed up and stranded on the beach. Loads of people rushed to help it. I've never seen one of these creatures so close up and he was HUGE! The only beached whales I've ever seen are the 2 legged variety, usually pink and on the Mediterranean beach. October 17, 2008 at 9:24 AM. October 18, 2008 at 6:47 PM. I moved to Ne...
