Highly bikable and fun. went out, had a couple shots with the local college kids, downed some buffalo skin, spent the night with my heads in the toilet, returning the buffalo skin to where it belongs. rinse and repeat.En savoir plus

    Pai Village Farm, Pai District, Thailand

    10 janvier 2016, Thaïlande ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Pai Village Resort & Farm
    Jan 10-12, 2016
    2 nights
    "Rustic" bungalows. I'm beginning to think that rustic is really just a euphemism for "smells like pee and/or sewage". Good breakfast though, with various homemade jams ( mulberry strawberry, mango, passion fruit), and peanut butter.
    #paialtai
    Pai with it's landscape, vibe, and accommodations strongly reminded me of Altai mountains and resorts in Russia. Therefore, I call it #paiAltai from now on.

    Greg edit: be advised, high concentration of wannabee hippies sporting there freshly bought original elephant print pants. too much uniqueness.    En savoir plus

    Paihia bunkbed room aka gypsy club

    17 janvier 2016, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

    Saltwater lodge in Paihia
    3 nights
    Jan 17-20, 2016
    Anna's first time in a hostel. Weird mix of old people and young german girls. One notable resident: a super super tan, older than Jesus, needle loving, bag of wrinkles. Wear sunscreen kids and stay off brown sugar.

    also: owners of the place, if you're reading this, i want to tell you i'm sorry. I didn't have a fall and broke the bike. I rode it on a giant balancing board to impress some middle schoolers and it broke. I fixed it as best i could, and the 18km i had to carry it back were ample punishment.    En savoir plus

    Jan 25-26, 2016
    1 night
    Online

    You finally have a place with kitchen that looks clean and you'd kill for a home cooked meal. But the town you're in is in the middle of nowhere and nothing is open except a gas station.

    Prep time: 10min
    Cooking time: 10min
    Price: $
    Serves: 2 desperate travelers

    Ingredients:
    - instant noodles
    - canned tomatoes
    - white wine (from anna's stash). if unavailable, substitute with despair.

    Drink the wine, mix all the rest, turn on the stove. drink more wine while Anna hungrily watches the magic mike rerun for the 4th time. salt pepper and serve.    En savoir plus

    1887 Farm House Stay

    26 janvier 2016, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Jan 26-27, 2016
    1 night
    Airbnb

    It was again on of those cases where your Airbnb can turn out to be either awesome or super creepy. Luckily we got the former, again!

    Tranquility is what it was. Like you got removed from present and moved to the remote past. Really calming farm with the big wooden table (for two) and real fire place.En savoir plus

    First time in suite

    27 janvier 2016, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Executive Suites Motel ( ha-ha-ha )
    Jan 27-28, 2016
    1 night

    After a moderate hiccup of our reservation being lost in translation (aka chase travel👈 👉agoda 👉👈 expedia 👉👈 hotel) we entered our suite..

    Why suite? Because it was the only availability in the town. But again - it's Executive Suites MOTEL.
    Suite is one hotel room x2. Because they open the door between two rooms. Therefore, we had:
    2 rooms, 2 showers, 1 burnt toaster (courtesy of Greg), 1 clean laundry.
    That's pretty much everything that we saved in our memories from Kaikoura. It was pouring like hell all the time so we haven't seen anything. Saw nothing..

    ADVICE: double check when you book with points. That bureaucracy keeps you always in surprise.    En savoir plus

    The motel had it all

    29 janvier 2016, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Bay Crest Motel & Lodge
    Jan 29-31, 2016
    2 nights
    Chase points

    Whatever you imagine when you say the word motel - it all had it. And the best part were the landing planes right over it.
    - "Oh, I think it's 9:20 from Auckland!" 👆
    Really romantic. Greg even managed to cook his own steak there without burning anything! His long waited beef with tomato and mushrooms. [Greg here: i'd like to point out that Anna's dinner consisted of wine, cheese, wine and stealing my dinner while making airplane jokes].
    Belissimo!    En savoir plus

    Architect's house in Wellington

    Probably so far the house with the nicest decore. Pretty stylish and well furnished. The host lady was nice. And the view!! - the view was awesome since the house was on the top of a steep hill. Haha, car could barely scale the hill, and threatened dangerously of deciding to go park further down the street on its own. and walking up the house counted as a daily workout.En savoir plus

    The best Airbnb so far

    5 février 2016, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Feb 5-7, 2016
    2 nights
    Airbnb

    Sometimes you hit the airbnb jackpot: few photos and no reviews, and turns out to be awesome.
    We were arriving at night. It definitely helped our imagination to let the deepest fears crawl all over us. It was a farm in the woods with shabby road, no one around, and no cellular reception. You had to cross the river to get to the house..and we got out of the car... there was a person in robes in the kitchen in the lit window..we enter.
    And it appeared to be some 40 (looking 25) year old hippie guy with dread locks and his cute Polish girlfriend. Super chill. Super nice. Super awesome house. Great time.

    ADVICE: trust your instincts!
    Definitely the best place to HelpX or WOOF.    En savoir plus

    Auckland Airport Motel Oysters

    7 février 2016, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

    Feb 7-8, 2016
    1 night
    Chase points

    When you are fancy enough to have freshly farmed oysters but not fancy enough to eat them at the restaurant. Because you can buy oysters to go in Coromandel.

    ADVICE: after you spent time in hot springs - don't wash your swimsuit and sulphur smelly clothes together with other clothes. The smell will stay FOREVER with you. No joke. Everything is sulphur now. And everywhere we sleep retains a faint whiff of hell.    En savoir plus

    Manila ghetto

    8 février 2016, Philippines ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Feb 8-10, 2016
    2 nights
    Agoda

     Uber drivers were locking their doors when they were dropping us off at our guest house. And told us not to walk there. But the place inside was quite nice and new. Suspiciously so even. There was a slight "you can have privacy for your illicit encounters here" vibe. especially when i realized the soap distributor in the bathroom was actually lube and the TV only showed porn (ok maybe i made up those that two).

    ADVICE: Google map view the area before you book through Agoda.    En savoir plus
