No bugs through the night! 2 days in a row! And I'm back on top of my daily posts! We got up this morning, and for the first time and I don't know how long, it wasn't raining. It was a partly cloudy day, and the wind was blowing really hard. In yesterday's post, but … Continue reading 2022-11-27 — Let’s Boogie

After cleaning out the car in the morning, we headed to what I would call little Yellowstone. Yellowstone. Rotorua is a hot bed for hot pots. They've got all sorts of geysers and yellowstoney type things. They had a huge tourist destination place in the main city, but we found one that we thought would … Continue reading 2022-11-26 — Little Yellowstone

We woke up in the morning to lots of bugs. The mosquitoes had feasted on poor chase in the middle of the night, and his legs were completely covered with bites. I think he counted over 40 bytes on just his legs alone. Of course, that's over the amount of time that we've been here … Continue reading 2022-11-25 — Adventure…less 🙃

This was the first day that we actually had me somewhere in the morning and couldn't just lounge around. Our scuba appointment was back in town and started at 8:00, so we got up about 7:00 ish, got the car back to driving condition, meaning that we put all the stuff that we move in … Continue reading 2022-11-24 — Roll With It

After getting up that morning and writing all those posts in the rain at Whangarei Falls, we begin heading north. North. Chase scheduled our scuba diving trip for the next day, so we had a day to drive north and play around a little bit before all the scuba adventures were supposed to start. The … Continue reading 2022-11-23 — Sea Life, Bushwhacking, and More!

The day began about how it ended: It was gray outside, the sunrise not visible from all the clouds, the rain was pouring down. We've had tons of rain since we've been in New Zealand, pretty much every single day, but this is the first time where it's sort of felt to me like, "ok, … Continue reading 2022-11-22 — Marooned

So... Right before we went to bed, Chase headed down with his headlamp to get a look at the waterfall, because the place that he had found for us to stay at had a waterfall, and we both absolutely love waterfalls. In the dark, though, the waterfall really wasn't much to look at, and he … Continue reading 2022-11-21 — BTP, Part 2

We woke up that morning to a construction truck parked in front of Sophie and a whole crap ton of construction cones lining the roads to the point where we had bed down for the night. 😬 Gratefully, there was a way for us to still get out of where we had stopped for the … Continue reading 2022-11-20 — Cocaine

Oh! One thing I forgot to write about the night before was that on our way to rainbow Falls and on our way back from rainbow Falls, we got stopped by the police to do random breathalyzer testing. Chase was driving, so he got the honor of counting to 10 into the breathalyzer each way, … Continue reading 2022-11-19 — Glow In the Dark

I woke up relatively early again yesterday morning. With the sunlight illuminating the landscape, I was able to see that we had driven far enough north that there weren't as many trees, though the landscape was still a beautiful bright green. I took my morning pill and spent a good little while writing that first … Continue reading 2022-11-18 — Penguin… 😕
