Well, despite economic issues that are sending rumbles through the world in the first month of 2016, it is probably the best time ever to visit the amazing country of China.

Before I headed to New Zealand I did a bit of research. There was an island, a short ferry ride from Auckland with a volcano on it that people happily climbed! ‘Yes!’ I thought, that sounds bloody awesome! I’ll do that! And so I knew straight away the thing I most wanted to do when I was in Auckland. Even

Hey folks, today is my last accommodation review for my recent trip to New Zealand and Sydney. After four nights in Rotorua my wife and I took a bus to Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest city, and we had two nights there. Looking for a budget option was not easy or particularly fruitful.
