New Zealand: In a Nutshell

New Zealand is stunning and a must visit. I loooove it so much!! Here are my thoughts on the country, in a nutshell. Phrases: Sweet As (awesome), Kia Ora (hello; Maori origin), If everything turns to custard (our Milford Sound bus driver kept saying this and I loved this!) Fun Facts: New Zealand sources of […]

Franz Josef Glacier

Franz Josef Glacier

Saturday morning we hiked up the Franz Josef Glacier. Annndddd my first ever ride in a helicopter!!! We got situated with our gear and everyone was shuffled over to the helipad to board our “Squirrel” and be taken to about mid-way up the glacier. We had a group of around 10 people led by our […]

Road Trippin’: South Island Style

July 22, 2012 by Beth Meyer

We left Queenstown Friday morning and drove up through the South Island through Lake Wanaka all the way up to Franz Josef. Road tripping through the South Island of New Zealand is like driving through a painting. Breathtakingly beautiful scenery!! It’s shocking how easy it is to drive in New Zealand…head out of town towards […]

New Zealand Cuisine

New Zealand Cuisine

On Thursday, I met up with my Kiwi chef friend, Dave, again, this time for my New Zealand cooking lesson. He had already gone to the market so we unloaded all of the groceries and got started in the kitchen. He was teaching a demo course the next day, so first off I helped him […]

Milford Sound

Milford Sound

On Wednesday, we took a trip on the Jucy Bus Tour to Milford Sound. The bus ride to and from probably takes around four hours, even though it’s only 50 km as the crow flies. Our driver, Ian MacIntosh, provided a wealth of knowledge as we were driving through the New Zealand countryside. A lot […]

Perfecting My Swan Dive

Perfecting My Swan Dive

Truth be told, I’ve never wanted to bungy jump. This may make me sound like an old stooge, but I always thought bungy jumping would hurt my back. However, once I arrived in Queenstown, the Adventure Capital of the World, the craving to participate in all kinds of extreme sports took over and I knew […]

Food for Thought

Food for Thought

This morning was AWESOME!!! My new friend, famous private Kiwi chef Dave Miller, took me to the Mediterranean Market in Queenstown this morning and gave me an overview of New Zealand style cooking. He gave me a run down of the various stocks, glazes, oils and seasonings he likes to use in all of his […]

Adventure Capital of the World

Adventure Capital of the World

We made it to Queenstown! We decided to fly down and flew Air New Zealand to Queenstown with a quick layover in Christchurch. I feel like I could write a whole post on airlines/service (we flew JetStar to Wellington), but that’ll be for another day. I will say that even on two short one hour […]

The Capital

The Capital

Wellington is the capital city on the southwest tip of the North Island of New Zealand. (Fun Fact – Wellington is the southernmost capital city in the world) On our first night, we were still adjusting to the time change so we decided to do a movie night at the local theatre to see Ted. […]
