3 gennaio 2023, Olanda ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
After a 9hr layover, we're finally boarded for Singapore 🇸🇬 The bumpiest flight ever, but we managed some sleep, and were given a complimentary Dutch house as a souvenir. Straightforward setup through immigration and customs, then taxi to the Pan Pacific on Raffles Boulevard.Leggi altro

First night in Singapore

Somewhat overwhelmed by the razzle dazzle of this city. Amazing dinner in the Marina Sands mall, then a walk to take it all in.

Singapore-day 2
5 gennaio 2023, Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Slept pretty well, up early for a fabulous breakfast, then walked around the Marina Bay area to see the Merlion. Very hot and humid - 29deg, and we're headed for the Gardens by the Bay, through the mall and hotel. Stopped for rather amazing frozen custard with blueberries and shortbread 😊
The gardens were an amazing blend of nature and technology, divided into different zones. My phone has registered over 15k steps by 2pm, and my feet tell the same tale 🤪 Stopped at a Chinese restaurant for a bite of lunch and a chance to sit down. Prawn and mango rolls.....delicious.
Crashed for a while in the afternoon, then on to Raffles for a Singapore sling in the courtyard. Quick meal in a local mall on the way back.Leggi altro

Arab Street
6 gennaio 2023, Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Michael went to sketch the waterfront this morning, and I walked to Arab Street, the Muslim quarter. Wall to wall fabric shops and a crazy eclectic feel to it. Beautiful rug shops too, and most things just opening up at 11am. Bought a couple of yards of fabric.....lots of beautiful stuff but not what I'd use. 30deg and full sin this morning, and very hot for walking. Found a huge 'regular' coffee, and peach cheesecake in the mall to chill out before heading back xxLeggi altro

Flight to Auckland
6 gennaio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
Flew Air NZ to Auckland - a very bumpy flight, and comfort further compromised by the bed being only either completely flat or slightly reclined. I opted for the reclined position as the flat layout didn't suit me and there were no extra pillows. Long queues at customs, due to biosecurity checks. Consequently, arrived exhausted and unslept, and our room wasn't ready till 3pm. Had a walk along the waterfront, did some shopping, then crashed till 3pm in the lounge. A lovely bright, quirky room at MSocial Hotel on the quayside.Leggi altro

Arrived at Paihia

Collected our Toyota Corrola from Avis, and drove to Paihia. A beautiful apartment in a stunning location which will be a super base for the next few days.

Waitangi
9 gennaio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Spent the morning at Waitangi, where the original treaty between the Maori and British was signed. Quite a moving, spiritual place, with the welcome being preceded by acknowledging the Creator. Michael volunteered to be tribe chief to receive the welcome, and I became Mrs Chief by association. A brilliant performance of dance and song, really well done.
Michael went back in the afternoon to sketch the carved canoe, and I had a wander round town. Had ribs at the rib shack in the evening 😋 And rounded the day off with a rather cute bottle of wine.Leggi altro

Cape Reinga and 90mile beach
11 gennaio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
A long but amazing day out on a coach trip to Cape Reinga. Went sand dune surfing, then up to the Cape where the Maori believe to be the place where their spirits leave for their final resting place of Hawaki. Its also where the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean meet, with swirling waters. Then on to the 90mile beach (about 90km in reality), named as it took horses 3 days to travel its length, and they can do around 30ml/day. But they didn't account for the horses being slower in soft sand, so the 30ml was an over-estimation. The bus went down on to the beach which is a highway, and we got out for a paddle......but of course the sea called me in! I ran back to the empty bus, put on my swimming costume, and went for full immersion- had the whole Tasman sea to myself!!Leggi altro

Russell
12 gennaio 2023, Nuova Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Woke to different light this morning, and a glorious sunrise awaited!
Took the ferry over to Russell this morning and walked to the far side of the spit. Had an very pretty cup of coffee on the beach then a wander round the shops. A hot sunny day....25deg. The second photo is our apartment block in Paihia, and we're directly under the round sign/logo.
Had a swim in the late afternoon, then a quick look at the Haruru Falls in the evening.Leggi altro
