Even though I got up at 7.30, I felt as though I was chasing my tail, I had a quick shower and ate a small breakfast. I met Tony, who was Liz’s husband and we chatted about the affects of the coronvirsus.   I headed towards the blue cafe and ordered a gluten free beef andContinue reading “The Malborough Sands Mail Boat Trip”

I was up early and managed to leave before 10am as I had a big drive of about 2 hours that lay before me. Some of the journey was twisty with a sheer drop on one side. The mountains were quite brown as new Zealand has had a very hot summer. Google maps nearly saidContinue reading “Unexpectedly surprised”

I had a bad night’s sleep due to the lack of fruit in my diet at the moment.  I slowly pottered around, sorting things and when I had breakfast, I spoke to Laura, who was German, and she is going to Fiji, so I gave her some tips about what to expect when she arrivesContinue reading “Whale watching”

I was up early to get to the dolphin encounter place at 8.30 to check in. The weather had changed to moody grey skies and the sea was a bit choppy. I ordered a hazelnut hot coconut milk whilst I was waiting to go on the trip. I video timed Tony. I do miss him butContinue reading “Dolphin watching”

I woke up really early and was ready to go by 5am.  I had a big drive ahead of me which was mostly driven in the dark.  Towards the end of my  journey I saw a huge bird of prey which I later found out was a Marsh harrier.  It was in the middle ofContinue reading “Swimming with Seals”

I had a lovely sleep, complete silence, no fan, the bed was okay but the bathroom had very squishy mats, yuk but thankfully I figured out that there was a shower, not great as the hot water was tepid. I set off using Google maps to guide me to Burnham where Leah Anne was harnessingContinue reading “A bit of a blustery day”

I had to be up at 5am and I finished off the last bits of packing. I was a bit cross with the other guests who left their clothes hanging on hooks in the shower, no consideration for me. I was a bit worried at 5.30am as the host was going to take me toContinue reading “To New Zealand”

It was the day of the last trip, I went to the bus stop at 7.30pm, I saw Charlie, who had helped me to find Yu’s house.  I saw a small kitten being wrathful chased by a small flock of very angry starlings.  Then I saw the bus, that was supposed to pick me upContinue reading “Final full day in Fiji”

After the hectic week I had, I had planned to have a quiet day and today’s blog will be about how things are going from an autistic perspective. The coronavirus virus news is making me very worried about my travel arrangements and as nobody really knows what will happen. My latest worry is travelling toContinue reading “Quiet Sunday”

I was picked up in a huge bus which had the air conditioning on at full blast. When I arrived at port, I was quickly checked in and I was the last passenger to board a huge catamaran. On the journey to the island, nobody chatted to me. As we arrived at the island weContinue reading “South Sea Tour”
