Many of you thought I had forgotten… or didn’t want to blog anymore, or didn’t care WRONG, WRONG, WRONG….just been a bit lazy lately with so much happening in our lives. Shoo’ time does go by so quickly. Our last week in Knysna was cooler so we were able to do a bit of sightseeing […]
25 January 2014 – 11 February 2014
Still in Knysna….wow has it been hot. Quince and Gypsey have been a little stressed with this heat, so much so, that John and I have adopted a ‘deck’ which is attached to a caravan, next door to where we are camping at Monks. At least during the day, it is cooler and bearable not […]
6 January 2014 – 25 January 2014
So, you probably have read our accommodation rating on Clarens Inn and Backpackers….the only plus was that we had a lovely couple of walks with the dogs into Clarens Village. The rustic, old world charm I remember of Clarens has disappeared. The sleepy village we once knew 30 years ago has been replaced with a […]

Surprised, yes…who was Alfred, we hadn’t organised a cab, thought John’s sister was fetching us LOL. Anyway as it turned out, Alfred […]

With heavy hearts, we are about to bit New Zealand, our family and new friends farewell….till we meet again. BUT before we do that, still some blog to finalise. I forgot to mention in my recent post, our trip to the gannet colony. I can’t remember ever seeing a gannet before. What amazing birds. They […]
Trip Blog from 11 November – 27 November 2013
Hello from Murrays Bay, Auckland, New Zealand and our first morning with stunning weather. John, Mom and I decided to take a walk along the boardwalk into the village of Meirangi Bay. The coves around this area are very sheltered so the waves are small and the sea is calm and quiet. However when they […]

Trip Blog from 2 October 2013 to 6 November 2013
Hello mates, its the Wandering Nomads here again….STILL DOWNUNDER but not for much longer. Since I last blogged, a month has passed, shoo’ time certainly does go quickly when having loads of fun. John and I spent a beautiful evening under a starlit sky at Macquaries, just the other side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, […]
Blog update 15 September – 1 October 2013 Still Downunder Mate!
Sundays are special days in Sydney as travel on the busses, trains, ferries, just about any mode of public transport is very inexpensive. One ticket can be used for the whole of Sunday on any transport. So, Sunday morning we got up early, packed our snacks and headed off into the city. The bus transport […]
Blog update 10 September – 14 September 2013 DOWNUNDER MATE
So, last time we were climbing aboard our airplane bound for Sydney, Australia, hence the DOWNUNDER MATE…lol. We arrived, I think very quickly, but then remembered there was an 8 hour time difference. Customs was a breeze as we had nothing to declare, then spent a while waiting for Nick to collect us. Apparently there […]
Cintsa Beach Walk
It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Cintsa. Tina was indulging in a siesta so I decided to take the dogs for a leisurely beach walk. One of the most appealing things about Cintsa is the pristine sandy beach that follows the curve of the bay for miles. Tina and I had noticed an astonishing […]
