It was bizarre coming into work today. Truck drivers were stopped all along the main roads in protest of the rising diesel costs, so the roads were completely blocked up ( Read more... )

With my newly acquired piles of money, I was able to book everything today to head over to the West Coast again and see Fox Glacier. I will definitely never leave booking stuff till the last minute ever again. The first hostel I tried to book rooms at was completely booked and the one they referred me to was ALMOST full. I did manage to get ( Read more... )
