Hi,
With the Easter Break approaching and the last of summer still in the air, we've decided it's time to head out and make the most of those last dregs of sunshine by embarking on one of our country's Great Walks.
|
|
We're now well on our way to autumn; time to sit back and watch as the country dons a cloak of warm reds, golds and oranges while the sky is often a striking blue. Autumn is without a doubt one of the most picturesque months, and even though it's cooler than summer, the temperatures are generally mild and settled - there's no better time to commit yourself to a Great Walk!
On another note, Easter is one of my favourite holidays for a different reason - the chocolate! And with swimsuit season behind us you can take a trip to a chocolate factory and not feel the slightest bit guilty. Or if you're a parent with kids at home for the holidays, check out my Top 10 list.
Happy walking!

Get your hiking shoes on - there are just too many fantastic walks in New Zealand to pass up!
Luckily for us, the Department of Conservation has made it easy to know where to start by compiling a list of Great Walks. There are nine of them throughout the country, and you can have little doubt that they'll cross some of our most amazing scenery. Read More

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has a lot to answer for when it comes to ideas of how chocolate is made.
Roald Dahl would have you believe giant waterfalls of chocolate mix the molten confectionery, pint-sized chocolatiers run around singing songs in unison, and the chocolate factory is shrouded in secrecy.

We took it upon ourselves to get to the bottom of this chocolate-making myth, and thanks to the team at Devonport Chocolates we didn't need a golden ticket to do so. Read More

What would you think if I told you that you could climb up the Duke's Nose, discover Mt Damfool or fish the Ugly River?
Funnily enough, I'm not joking - these are real names of real places throughout New Zealand. And there's plenty more where they came from! In what's bound to be a hilarious trip, make it your mission to head to a place with a funny name. Don't worry if you can't think of any, I've collected a few myself to help you out.
