The Waiotapu Thermal Springs is one of the most amazing places we saw in our short stay in New Zealand. Done on a short trip/tour from Rotorua, we took half a day to explore and walk around the springs. As for most of the attractions around but not actually in Rotorua, transport is a bit …
Air New Zealand have a pretty good reputation as an airline, and it’s not hard to see why. I recently took Air New Zealand from Sydney, via Auckland, to Rotorua. I took a Boeing from Sydney and a Beech 1900 on the second leg. What can I tell you about the experience? Well, last week …
I don’t usually go to the lengths of review airports, but today, as a little break from my ‘best of’ series, I thought I’d continue the story of my latest trip and look at my experiences at Sydney International Airport.

It's been an amazing year here at Andy's World Journeys. From Australia to Myanmar, Thailand, home again and then to New Zealand, I've seen quite a bit! But now it's Christmas time, a good time to be home. The weather here is hot. They forecast 33 degrees Celcius for Melbourne, and we've had some hot …
Although I’m in the process of reviewing all the experiences of my very recent trip to New Zealand and Sydney, earlier in the year I had an amazing trip to Thailand and Myanmar.
