		<title>New Zealand &#8211; Walking Up One Tree Hill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One Tree Hill is an icon in Auckland&#8217;s landscape &#8211; the largest volcano on the skyline with a tall monument at the top. It&#8217;s surrounded by a great park, Cornwall Park, and is a nice place to walk dogs. So that&#8217;s what we did. The hill used to have one tree at the peak, but due to a chainsaw attack, the old pine tree that was there died. So now it&#8217;s nicknamed &#8216;None Tree Hill&#8217;. The local iwi don&#8217;t want [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Zealand &#8211; Auckland Zoo with the Cousins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we got back to Auckland, we had a few days to spend time with our families. One of our days was spent at Auckland Zoo, which has developed quite a bit since we last went a few years ago. We went with Mum, Matta and my younger cousins Emere, Hana T and Takimoana. The kids must&#8217;ve played on every playground in the whole zoo as we wandered around. We loved the new tiger enclosure. There&#8217;s a pool right next [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Zealand &#8211; Heading Up North</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a few days in Auckland catching up with the parents again, we decided to head north for a couple of nights. First, we went to the beautiful Rawhiti, where we hadn&#8217;t been since our wedding. It was a bit grey and gloomy, but still a great break. Matta and Rob got straight in the boat to go fishing. You can see the tiny dot of their boat in the distance of the bay&#8230; We weren&#8217;t having fish for dinner, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Zealand &#8211; The Buried Village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While we were at Lake Tarawera, we thought we should do some touristy stuff. Namely, a stones-throw down the road, we wanted to see The Buried Village. The little museum at the Buried Village was very interesting because of all of the photographs. The Pink and White Terraces ones were great. Back in the day, tourists visited the terraces for bathing, and some would record their trip, like in the photographs below. It was fantastic to see these images and how marvellous the [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Zealand &#8211; Chilling at Lake Tarawera</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It drizzled through Christmas and poured through New Years. Well, it was no different at our next holiday destination. Well, we got a couple of days with sunny mornings, but it rained in the afternoons. So we made the most of the sunlight we got! John being dragged by his niece Olivia. Awesome. The front 9 are from the Gavin bach. Wonderful wonderful hot pools. The baches at Lake Tarawera have a couple of competitions the baches hold every New [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Zealand &#8211; Catching up with Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We got to catchup with almost all of our friends when we were back in NZ. (Sorry to those who we didn&#8217;t get time to see!) The highlight was certainly Eric and Prue&#8217;s gorgeous wedding! But first, there was a Hen&#8217;s party. The start of our day was learning to lawn bowl from Rob&#8217;s grandpa, GramBob. Don&#8217;t you love Prue&#8217;s dress? It was full of ruffles! No photos from the rest of the day, but it involved a drawing class, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Zealand – Xmas and Snells Beach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All done with Canada, we leapt on another plane (the All Blacks safety video on the AirNZ flight was classic) to get home for Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve at the Harte&#8217;s. We had a lovely 3 course meal which Helen ( Liz&#8217;s mum ) made &#8211; a salmon salad, roast turkey and trifle dessert. NOM NOM. Christmas day we headed up to Snells beach for the Bilkey Family Christmas. Firstly, we went straight out to get some scallops for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vancouver &#8211; City Explorers and Totem Poles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past month (mid Dec to mid Jan), Rob and I have been in New Zealand. Beautiful, summery New Zealand. But the weather is another matter. It takes 24 hours to fly to NZ from London (not including stopovers), so we decided to have a day long stopover in Vancouver. It&#8217;s a beautiful city. I had been to Vancouver once before when I was 14 for an overnight stopover, so didn&#8217;t see too much of the city (at least, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Sloe Gin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our friend Richard introduced us to Sloe Gin &#8211; a sweet syrupy after-dinner drink that&#8217;s made from sloes and gin. Now, we didn&#8217;t know what sloes were, but we have a much better idea now. And we didn&#8217;t know how to make sloe gin, but thanks to Richard we now do. Firstly, we have to pick the sloes. Stage 1: Picking the Sloes Well, before you actually pick the sloes, you have to walk a long way to the sloe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rome &#8211; Invader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During our Rome trip we happened to run into some invader street art. The one below was while we were waiting in line to get into the Vatican museums. There is a lot of graffiti around that is just scribble, so it was nice to see something a bit more interesting. We saw most of his art outside tourist attractions, however we did run into a few that weren&#8217;t. I think some of the natives thought we were a bit [...]]]></description>
