rotarua
5 Desember 2016, Selandia Baru ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
What a stinky place this is. However the volcanic activity is crazy. I saw all sorts of crazy things. Green water, boiling mud, vents and creators. It was very nerdy.
After all that nerd stuff we went to the thermal hot pools. Very nice place to relax and chill amazing views and a good arvo.
Didn't bother spending the night in rotarua. It seems like the usual nz town. Lots of activities nothing under 80$.Baca selengkapnya

Raglan
6 Desember 2016, Selandia Baru ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Raglan is a beautiful place. Definitely has resemblance to Byron Bay. Trendy, organic, wholesome. The waves were small and slow going. 1 guy had a foil surfboard which looked cool hopefully the waves get bigger.
Solscape is an awesome place to stay that's a lot like the arts factory in Byron Bay. We are staying in a caboose which is an old train carriage.Baca selengkapnya

Raglan was epic surfed for 3.5hrs and did a lot of backside turns. It was a beautiful day with no wind even at 1.30pm.

I was very excited to see an old friend in Auckland since last seeing Chris at his wedding he's had 3 kids. I wanted to see if they were as crazy as him.
After leaving raglan in the afternoon we met chris at the pub where we joined a few of his colleagues and drank some NZ beer. It ended up being a big night. 😎
In the morning we met his awesome children and had a great tasting breakfast.
I managed to squeeze in a kite on my new baby followed by some lunch and a look around.
Nearly got stung 200$ bucks at the airport for having 3 bags so I just put everything with the surfboard and saved some dough.
My last meal was at pita pit which was fitting as Chris is their boss.Baca selengkapnya

Ecuador, Montinita
9 Desember 2016, Ekuador ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
After multiple days of travel we have made it to Montinita Ecuador.
We flew from Auckland to Buenos Aires delayed. Then lima spent the night and day followed by a delay and then eventually guayaquil spent the night and a 3hr bus to Montinita.
It's a great little town with plenty of restaurants and bars all on the beach. We have found a great beach front room for 30$us and booked ourselves into some hardcore Spanish. Starting Monday we will do 16hrs of Spanish over 4days.
Basically we are stuffed doing much here. Lots of smiles and hand gestures to do anything.

I have loved the music here, loads of salsa and reggae. Even though I hate pop music south American pop music is so much better than Japanese or Indonesian pop music.Baca selengkapnya

Finally relaxing. 2 weeks of travel and only once did we stay in one place for more than 1 night. We will stay in Montinita till Thursday/Friday.
Spanish school starts tomorrow with 4hrs a day. This place is magical. Probably a south American version of Bali. It's meant to have good surf but while I have been surfing it hasn't been world class. Did a walk through the rockpools enjoyed an amazing sunset and partied to some awesome reggae hip-hop/salsa bands. Drinking is very cheap and encouraged.Baca selengkapnya

Emdee Fine Sounds very nice there, despite the flat surf. Drinking encouraged? Wouldn't be the drink sellers would it?

adios Montinita

After a week it was time to 'make like a deciduous tree and leave'.
A dodgy biology joke i know but it's ok because I am off to the Galapogus islands, the destination for biology nerds. Over the next 2 weeks i expect to meet loads of nerdy biologists and divers.

Montanita was a great place to spend a week and learn some Spanish. The lessons were hard core 4hrs a day. Unfortunately I never scored decent waves. I think I was unlucky and there really wasn't a lot of surf anywhere. The town had great food good, music and a great vibe similar to Byron. I did visit a church on a headland that was really nice open air great views of the beach. If you couldn't decided on a beach or church wedding this spot would tick both boxes.

We arrived at the airport today and our flight to San cristobal was cancelled. But we're able to fly to balta/ Santa Cruz so no biggie we hadn't booked accommodation and it will be slightly more convenient as we will start our cruise from there😎🤘
As usual the flight is delayed. That's 100% for South American Airlines 🤗Baca selengkapnya

Hari 22
Santa cruz, Galapogus
17 Desember 2016, Ekuador ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
We spent 3 days in Santa Cruz before heading off on a boat cruise. From the moment you arrive nature hits you in the face. The island is dry around the edges but lush in the middle. As you drive across the island from the airport you get a good chance to see it. In the middle giant 150 yr old tortoises walk around. They are everywhere. After finding accomodation in Santa Cruz we went off to the Charles Darwin research center. It was good but we expected it to be bigger and more significant, however just walking around anywhere is fun as there are iguanas, sealions everywhere and loads of birds and sealife.
Over the 3 days we visited tortuga beach for a surf, snorkeled in a rift and snorkeled at issabella island. It was all very fun but we were pumped for our boat trip.Baca selengkapnya

boat life pt1
20 Desember 2016, Ekuador ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
The boat tour started rather slow. Turns out the first stop is Santa Cruz which is where we have been for the last few nights.

We saw 2 massive volcanic creators, visited a tortoise ranch and walked through some lava tunnels.
There were 10 people on the boat and I was the second oldest ( not what we expected). Every one was very cool and I was the first to jump off the roof of the boat.

After driving through the night we arrived at st James Bay. We walked along the rocks for a while and wow. It's just amazing! Sea lions iguanas of all sorts and manta rays in the distance. What's amazing is that all the animals aren't worried about humans. You can find yourself very very close to everything. We even saw a shark attack a sealion. We then went snorkeling and were completely blown away. Sharks, turtles, fish and sealions. There were so many turtles you couldn't help but bump into them while swimming.

In the afternoon we had another beach walk at a different location and a snorkel at buccaneer Bay. Saw sharks and a eagle ray along with plenty of fish and sealions.Baca selengkapnya

Woke up at st Bartholomew island. Hiked a volcano, saw a couple of penguins, did some posing with an amazing backdrop followed by a snorkel. We saw a bunch of sharks, fish etc and swam though some rock tunnels.
In the arvo we walked around a lava field while it's probably pretty boring the people we were with are a lot of fun and we enjoyed posing for funny photos. The Americans on the boat brought Santa hats for all (Cheers). As you might expect we had a snorkel followed by a huge dinner of lobster.Baca selengkapnya
