Amazing Singapore…..
After a very lazy morning we checked out of the hotel. The rate for tonight would have been SGD$400! Sangeet looked up the programmes at the Gurdwara, there was a Sukhmani Sahib Paath starting at 2pm. Sukhmani Sahib is the name given to the set of hymns divided into...
My thoughts on New Zealand…..
I would like to thank Puaji, Paji and Phenji for the fantastic hospitality and accommodation they gave us. It was great to play hockey on the full size pitch, located in the back garden! God created a stunning New Zealand, pity mankind did a poor job with the...
Gurdwara & St Kilda…..
This morning we went to the Gurdwara, in a suburb of Melbourne called Blackburn. We arrived at 11am and hardly found anybody there, the sangat turned up and 12. I was thinking that if this was an white American Sikh Gurdwara they would have been there from the...
Walk about….
As we had planned a full schedule for the day we got out early to visit Queen Victoria Market, the market sells everything, clothes, fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and aboriginal art you could say just like any other market. The Queen Victoria Market (also known as the...
G’day Melbourne…..
Our flight from Christchurch to Melbourne departed at 6:30 am, the journey time is around 4 hours. It was with Air New Zealand. On landing in Melbourne (temperature was 13 degrees Celsius), we took the star bus into the city centre. As of writing this blog there are a...

Goodbye Lake Tekapo…..
Today is our last day in Lake Tekapo, we have grown fond of this small town and will miss the peace and quiet. After seeing the partial solar eclipse (detailed in another post,) we relaxed around the hostel common room. Sangeet challenged me to another game of Jenga....
Partial eclipse…..
At most hostels, there is a notice board, informing you of the weather, events, what to see and on this day a partial eclipse at 10:28am. The best way to view is through safety glasses. Everybody came out to see the partial solar eclipse One person holds the safety...
Lake Tekapo…..
For the past couple of days I have been getting bad stomach pains, seems like the intestine issue has come back to tell me it is still there. So this morning I just needed a lie in. When I awoke we went to the kitchen to have breakfast. Afterwards, we sat in the...
Goodbye Arrowtown…..
After checking out of the hostel we decided to head to Patagonia chocolates in Queenstown for a smoothie and to use their wifi. We needed to sort out the car hire for Australia, looking to drive from Melbourne to Adelaide along the Great Ocean Drive. The main sites I...
