Glenfalls Camp Mohaka River

Glenfalls Camp Mohaka River

We spent the first night of our Christmas 2014 trip at Reid’s Farm, just before Taupo. Because it is free, it was pretty crowded, especially in the nicer areas with views of the Waikato.

Nam Ha River

Nam Ha River

We’re back in civilization after two days kayaking through the Laotian jungle. When I first saw that the boats we would be using were the inflatable variety I was a bit disappointed, but it turned out that they were ideal. This time of year the water level is only just high enough to be navigable,  with quite a few rapids to negotiate. Continue reading Nam Ha River

Zip Line to Gibbon Experience

Zip Line to Gibbon Experience

We have spent the last three days deep in the Lao rainforest searching for gibbons. Getting there was so much fun I don’t care that we didn’t  find any, especially as we have already seen them in Thailand. Continue reading Zip Line to Gibbon Experience

Sylvester – Cobb Tramp 2011
