New Countries to Explore

Hi Andy
To travel around the south pacific I would say your best bet is flying from Auckland. I'm from NZ, and Auckland is known as the largest polynesian city around. More samoans/tongans/niueans/cook islanders live there than in the home islands.
www.airnz.co.nz often has cheap flights and not all are hub & spoke style. ie I think you can fly from AKL to Tonga and then on to Samoa without returning to AKL.
Good luck. If you time it right you may be able to hitch a ride on a yacht too...

It is possible to just slowly fly down all the more or less mainland cities. Darwin, Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney of Australia, then over to Auckland New Zealand and as I stop, I find out prices, maybe I could bounce to a couple of Island then back to Aussieland or NZ to stay closer to large airline routes.

There is a theory of travel where you just rush on through, then come back to the place you like.

You got to go to PITCAIRN ISLAND "Mutiny on the Bounty" fame.

worth it 120 % catch a boat out of New Zealand. Wacky bunch corrupted by missionaries and human desire. If you could recreate this island it would happen over and over again. Humans being human. Bring some books.

Hi Andy,

I live in NZ and love reading your travel blogs. I have only just registered on your site because would really like to get in touch with you when you decide to come to New Zealand.
I was born in Tauranga and am really keen to start travelling around like you. I would love to have a chat and share some of your experiences or get some advice.
Would this be possible? If so, when to you plan to come to New Zealand?
You can email me on davindersingh73@gmail.com.

Cheers,
Dav (That's what my mates call me)

I will be going towards Oceania in October 2008, please follow my trip and when closer, we can write.

Thanks Andy, that would be awesome. I'll keep an eye out on your blogs ;)

Cheers,
Dav

Unhappily, most tourists just know Vietnam through the wars and very few tourists know that Vietnam is incredibly beautiful and fascinating with diverse, break-taking landscapes from lush terraced paddy fields of multi-colorful hill tribes to bustling floating markets in Mekong delta including 7 world unique heritages.......
