Catching up on some blogging. In 2019, a few of us spent a week in Panama. This will be the first blog for that Panama trip.

Travelling Minions in 2020

ByTravelling Minion January 3, 2021 1 Comment
Probably like everyone else on the planet, 2020 did not go as planned. Back at the start of the year I originally intended to take two major trips with the opportunity for smaller ones in between. Unfortunately, with this global pandemic, I only embarked on one trip early in 2020. I debated whether a year in review this year would be very worthwhile given that most of the year I spent at home....

Cathedral Cove

Christchurch to Auckland At the ungodly hour of 4 AM, Gimpy and I set out in the dark towards Christchurch Airport. We needed to do an early morning car drop off, then catch the shuttle to the terminal, before flying to Auckland and driving to Cathedral Cove. After arriving at the terminal, making it through security was a breeze. (There seems to be little security when it comes to domestic...
