Tour Aotearoa – South Island

Tour Aotearoa – South Island

Jumping onto the earlier ferry at 2.45pm was the way to go as now I docked in daylight and could enjoy the early evening hours as I pedaled towards Havelock. As usual, a couple of nice hills were in between Picton and the recommended Smith Farms campsite where I...

Tour Aotearoa – North Island

Tour Aotearoa – North Island

Am I up for a 3000km cycle ride, could my ass handle it, is my lightweight carbon hardtail mountain bike too light for the extra load, do I have everything I need - all questions I was asking myself whilst in England sorting out my late dads estate. I was definitely...

Rediscovering Great Britain

Rediscovering Great Britain

We find more and more that when speaking with fellow travelers the response when asking about which country they've seen the most of, their home country is never top of the list. I've probably seen more of my adopted country than I have of my home land. Due to...

Essential Items Only

Essential Items Only

Stuff, junk, clutter and crap accumulated over the years has made us the happiest of people. Did I just say that? Over the past four years we've found that living without mountains of stuff is far less stressful, far cheaper, and allows us to be wherever we want,...

Hong Kong Layover

Hong Kong Layover

Flying to the end of the world for the second time this year was always going to be a drawn out affair, made even worse by departing England instead of the US. Flight prices seemed lower than flying from the US which surprised me, so much in fact that I allowed my dad...

One Goes Global to Denmark

One Goes Global to Denmark

Unexpected, traveling alone, and little time for preparation, Denmark wasn't on the agenda. I needed to get to England for personal reasons and only being a week out flights were not looking cheap, especially when traveling with a mountain bike. I had to be creative...

Birmingham Hip Resurfacing or Bust

Birmingham Hip Resurfacing or Bust

With a good amount of trepidation we headed north towards Madison, Wisconsin, on this occasion for my second bout of hip surgery. My decision to go ahead with further surgery was prompted by the rapid decline of my right hip - hiking was resulting in more and more...

Lobsters and Potatoes, or Fish and Chips

Lobsters and Potatoes, or Fish and Chips

An island of coastline and roads, Prince Edward Island was our final stop on this leg of our Canadian tour. Neither of us had any real reason for heading over to Canada's smallest Province, other than to see what the capital of Charlottetown has to offer. Due to where...

Saint-Pierre & Miquelon by Fatbike

Saint-Pierre & Miquelon by Fatbike

Had it not been for the Century Travelers Club neither of us would have heard of this little slice of France in the northern Atlantic. Listed under the North American countries/ territories heading this turned out to be the last of our places to visit within that...

Cape Breton Island

Cape Breton Island

Home of the Cabot driving trail and ferry departure point to the province of Newfoundland, Cape Breton Island is renowned for its Celtic influence, art scene, and amazing coastline. It was here we got to camp at one of our top ten all time campsites at Meat Cove, be...

New Scotland

New Scotland

Not to say that we didn't enjoy New Brunswick but we really used the Province as a means to get from Maine through to Nova Scotia. Apparently tourism falls short due to this reason! Three hours beyond the quaint seaside town of Saint Andrews and just shy of the NS...

Northeastern Highpoints

Northeastern Highpoints

Completing the seven continental highpoints, or 7 Summits as they are commonly called, is still on hold for financial and fitness reasons. Also, with only the big price tag mountains of Everest and Vinson remaining there needed to be an interim goal that was...

Adirondacks & More

Adirondacks & More

Yes, we know it’s been a long time since we’ve sent out a blog, and no, we didn’t move to Montana either. In fact a few weeks ago we once again left Andrea’s family in Kentucky and headed north in our trusted steed, Going Broke. After spending a few days with friends...

Europe & Middle East Recap

Europe & Middle East Recap

We’ve now been back from our six month tour of Eastern Europe, Israel, Jordan, Cuba and 110 miles of hiking around the Mont Blanc Massif for almost a month and are already discussing whats next. Funny how things go as one minute we’re talking about staying put and...

Cuba; pre Big Mac & Latte Invasion

Cuba; pre Big Mac & Latte Invasion

By the time this blog gets posted JetBlue and Spirit Air will probably have scheduled flights to Havana from Fort Lauderdale and New York, bringing throngs of Americans to add to the already packed island. Some will be excited to introduce tacky Starbucks, McDonalds...
