In Taiwan I encountered a fierce dragon. I have a phobia of dragons, especially when they're made of empty bottles. |
Oh yes, I'm proud to say I'm a frontpacker! But I failed to find a SINGLE frontpackers' place ANYWHERE in New Zealand, and the famous 'Frontpacker's guide to New Zealand' didn't provide any addresses of places to stay. It said you have to disguise as a backpacker and no one will notice. But believe me, when you're talking to fellow travellers in the hostels, you can tell when they're frontpackers. You can see it in their eyes. But I'm always too shy to ask the awkward question: 'are you a frontpacker?' and tend to avoid the topic. Instead I resort to more trivial chit-chat, such as assassination attempts, bloody terrorist attacks, World War III and all that. So why are frontpackers frontpackers?Well think of us as lazy folks. We like to travel, but not with heavy loads on our backs, so we don't get backaches or sweaty backs.I wonder why there are so few of us. Frontpacking rules, yeah! |
... But I was reassured by the signs saying that water and mudpools do not climb fences. Quite a relief!
We decided to pay a visit to Puzzling World in Wanaka. We entered the amazing great maze and tried to find our way to the four towers.
Sailing on to new adventures.....
