Leaving Christchurch, I took the Tranz Alpine train across the Southern Alps to the town of Greymouth on the west coast...
Franz Josef Glacier: I'd heard of this on the first stop of my RTW trip in Buenos Aires, from a British couple who had just come from New Zealand. So I'd always had this place in the back of my mind, as a future stop on my trip...
Loved eating in Melbourne! Partly it was because my hotel was located just two (longish) blocks from Victoria Road in Richmond, the heart of the Vietnamese (secondarily Chinese) community...
