Yes I know it's out west and back of beyond but it's where the visa office is. It was worrying looking like McDonalds was going to be our only option until we spotted the big cafe sign. Turned out to be a good spot as it's next to a liqueur store and allowed me to... Continue Reading →
Took the kids to Zirka Circus today, here's what we thought. Zirka is a new circus in New Zealand, no animals, just people, so a real modern circus. But this isn't some multimillion dollar production. For example 2 adult and 2 kid tickets came to NDZ 120 which won't even get you a midlevel ticket... Continue Reading →
Love this ladies stuff, didn't realise that she had a post on NZ....
Due to the wet and cold weather and the girls getting used to the new bugs in Auckland we haven't got out to many parks yet, but at the weekend we made it out to Mission Bay. After spending the morning in Kelly Tarlton's we headed further round the coast to Selwyn domain. We spotted... Continue Reading →

Also it's been a fun cause of comments from the kids. "Warmup isn't a real word" sorry my dear but yes it... Continue Reading →

Regularly appearing in the top 5 or 10 lists for best or favorite airport in the world Changi is a great airport. Considered by many as the best there has been plenty written about it...

The second villa we stayed in was very much modern Bali where the first was more traditional. Villa Cahaya was in the same area of Seminyak, behind 66 beach. This time though we were further from the beach in a kind of no-mans-land between the shopping street next to the beach and the main road... Continue Reading →
I re-blogged a post about the airport and here is my view.Arrival It is relatively hassle free, but it does take time. The queues for the vision arrival (USD 25) and immigration are long and slow. So be prepared with things to amuse the kids if you have had a long flight. There are people... Continue Reading →
