Akaroa To Moeraki

Tuesday, 6 October 2025 I woke this morning before the alarm. Time is a bit confusing at the moment because now our body clocks have been displaced by another two hours with changing to NZ Daylight Savings Time. Anyhow, the clock on my iPhone said it was just after 7.00am so that must be right […]

Crossing the Ditch

Monday, 5 October 2025 This morning we set off on our fourth holiday for the year and our third to an overseas destination. This time just ‘across the ditch’ to New Zealand’s South Island. It was an early start with the alarm set for 4.45am. Blagh! The alarm duly sounded and I crawled out of […]

We were on the road just before 9.00am […]

We packed everything except our tooth brushes, before heading to the dining room at 8.00am. No continental breakfast smorgasbord here, we were able to order an a-la-carte breakfast from the menu. Fancy! Bernie chose the muesli and I […]
