North Island Roadtrip- New Zealand

By Cheryl
After a fun stay at the Barn, we headed southeast towards Turangi in preparation for our next adventure.  On the way, we made a few stops to appreciate the North Island's beauty.

Such vibrant colours


Mangapohue Natural Bridge
We enjoyed a short walk on a boardwalk through a limestone gorge to a natural bridge.  Mike and Parker completed the loop through the cow pasture but given the amount of droppings, Chelsea and Nathan preferred to walk back the way we came- and I accompanied them :)







Piripiri Caves
This cave is one of the few caves in New Zealand that is open and free for the general public.  There was a nice staircase which was great because it was very dark and wet.


Marokopa Falls
Some say these falls are the most beautiful falls in New Zealand.  At 35 metres high, they certainly were impressive!






Driving in New Zealand is beautiful!!  None of these pictures do the landscape justice...








Turangi

We stayed in Turangi for a few days and used this small town as a base from which to hike 'The World's Greatest Day Hike'- stay tuned for the next post!  Whilst here, Mike and I escaped for a run and found ourselves on the Tongariro River Trail with some beautiful views.

Introducing the Family

By Nathan
This is my first post.  My name is Nathan and I am a 9 year-old boy (almost 10) and can't wait for this trip.  My older sister Chelsea is 12 years old and my younger brother Parker is 7 years old.   I am looking forward to sharing pictures and stories with you over the adventurous year ahead! This picture was taken a couple of years ago so we are all a bit bigger now!

Tongariro Crossing - New Zealand North Island

By
Sorry for the brief hiatus folks - limited wifi slowed me down!  We did the Tongariro crossing 15yrs ago and fell in love with it then - we knew our kids had to experience it too. Ummm... can anyone say AMAZING! For those unfamiliar, the Tongariro Crossing is a 20km hike/tramp that takes you into the caldera(s)  of Mt. Ngauruhoe (more famously known as Mt. Doom in Tolkein's Lord Of The Rings trilogy). The mountain lies above Lake Taupo - New Zealand's biggest lake - which makes for a fitting backdrop throughout the 2nd half of the hike. Turangi - not far from Tongariro National Park We holed-up in VRBO/HomeAway a little town called Turangi, close to Tongariro National Park.  Cheryl's wrote a post about Turangi - check it out ! The hike route This hike is, very debatably, the best day hike in the world - certainly the best we've ever done.   If you like the outdoors, you're fit, and you can do only one thing in NZ - hike the Tongariro Crossing.

Lanterns and Rice Paddies- Hoi An, Vietnam

By Cheryl
When we were in the planning phase of this trip, I wasn't sure I wanted to go to Vietnam.  I was nervous about stories I had heard about crime, health and safety, crowded buses, etc. and I wasn't really sure how comfortable I would be taking the kids to this country.  After doing some research, I came across some information about a small town called Hoi An and  decided this might be a great place to spend some stationary time- soaking up the culture, enjoying cheap food and doing some school work.  So that's just what we did.  We spent 10 lovely, low key days in Hoi An, Vietnam. One of many flower displays along the river A calm town in the morning The famous Japanese covered bridge Hoi An is a town of about 120 000 people.  It used to be a major port- for the Champa kingdom from the 2nd to the 10th centuries and then, after the 15th century, it was one of South East Asia's major ports. The Old Town of Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage site and ap
