    Located within walking distance (300 meters) from the Interislander and Blue Bridge ferry terminal you will find this quaint backpackers lodge.  After the 3 hour ferry crossing it is a nice place to call home for a couple of days before taking on the rest of the South Island of New Zealand.   The Villa has a nice range of [...]

    Located near the East end of the Catlins, this hostel was a great stopping point after spending the entire day sight seeing around the Catlins at the Southern point of New Zealand.  This is another BBH Hostel, so break out your discount card!  When we arrived we did not have reservations.  We were not sure how many days we had [...]

    Imagine being surprised by a ton of warm, gooey, liquid Dairy Milk chocolate pouring directly down in front of you! In the darkened silo of the Cadbury Factory in Dunedin, NZ this is exactly what happened. And the Chocolate Fall was only one of the many surprises awaiting us at Cadbury World, definitely a must-do on a Dunedin visit. During [...]

    Located near the Nadi airport and offering free airport pick up, this hostel was a great stopping point after arriving in Nadi.  When we first arrived at the airport we were anxiously looking around for our ride.  After several minutes of not seeing anyone and apparently looking quite lost, an airport aide asked us if we needed help.  We told [...]

    It’s as though you’ve entered another world. The dusty dirt road winding its way along Savusavu Bay, passing yachts and remote Fiji pearl farms, finally ends in paradise.  Warm wood tones and island ambiance await from the moment you enter the reception area of Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort. The pull of the soothing azure pool water with fresh hibiscus-adorned [...]

    The boundless genius of Leonardo Da Vinci found a place of rest and repose in the gardens of Chateau du Clos Luce in Amboise, France. Invited by King Francis I in 1516 to use the mansion and gardens as a place to live and work, Da Vinci packed all of his possessions to make the move. Being a poor man, [...]

    Although Lisa was getting bitten by swarms of mosquitoes, she really wanted to get the shot of Mont St Michel as the sun fell and the lights of the town were all alight.

    You could see it from miles away! We were driving toward the coast and there it was, rising out of the sea like something from a Star Wars movie – a city in space. Only this city was the Abbey of Mont St. Michel and it was on the Normandy Coast located on a rock in the middle of the [...]
