Day 158 – Paihia, New Zealand Today was the day it was supposed to rain and be generally a gloomy day. As you can see on the picture above, that wasn’t exactly what happened. As I was taking two tours through the same company (the hole in the rock and to Cap Reinga), company which…

Day 157 – Paihia, New Zealand I have had quite a few adventures in the last few days! Yesterday, while staying with friends of the family, I went for a walk with one of the friends and the three dogs. The weather was absolutely beautiful, clear skies, green fields, muddy lanes, barbed wire, it was…

Day 149 – Pacific Harbour, Fiji Islands So, it seems that I haven’t written in a while! I’m almost at the end of my stay in Pacific Harbour. The resort I stay at is very nice, as I wrote in my last article. Of course, I slowly discovered that the services it offers outside of…

Day 143 – Nadi, Fiji Islands Edit: I concluded my post a bit fast last night, so I added a few words at the end. I’m back on the mainland – by which I mean Fiji’s biggest island. I’m currently uploading my pictures, so they should be ready by the time I publish this. Yesterday…

Day 136 – Sydney, Australia First, I got to say that nobody replaced the French flopping fish on the upper bunk bed, and I slept so well last night…! So a combination of new gear testing, cheap transport, and stubbornness took me again today to the Blue Mountains. I knew it would be raining, and…

The joys of dorm rooms

The joys of dorm rooms

Day 135 – Sydney, Australia Until now I have been relatively lucky with my dorms: people haven’t been snoring too loudly, I haven’t been told that I was snoring loudly, and generally speaking, people are polite and try not to turn the light on at inconsiderate hours.

Day 132 – Sydney, Australia (I’m only half cheating in my title, I did go back to the Gardens after visiting the art gallery. I also rearranged the pictures of Sydney into several galleries.) I started my day with some shopping. I wanted to put a new sole on my sandals, that would have cost…

Day 131 – Sydney, Australia So I’m still not doing much of my days. I’ve switched hostel, because I chose the first one for its easy parking and quiet, and the second one for its proximity to the centre of the city. My luggage From left to right: the green grocery bag contains my groceries;…

Hiking the Blue Mountains

Hiking the Blue Mountains

Day 129 – Blue Mountains National Park, Australia (You will notice how many places/environments I have hiked in my titles.) Yesterday, while doing nothing of my day (well, putting my pictures online is work) and preparing the next week, I found that Sydney’s public transportation go to the Blue Mountains, that you can find walking…
