Why is Everything Upside Down?

Is the earth really a sphere? Was Columbus a fool? Can man travel to the edge of the world and fall off? To find out, join Moni and Phil on their quest to conquer the other side of the world. Koalas and all.

Milford Sound. In the "divorce boat" AKA kayak, Moni steered and I dictated the tempo and ate the waves in my face.

Hanging around Mount Cook, the highest peak in New Zealand.

Camping in New Zealand. Location: Milford Sound

Phil making gnocchi while camping. Because food tastes best in the middle of nowhere.

Suddenly: sheep!

Our first two days in New Zealand. Our route so far on Google Maps.

Day 1: Akaroa, which is a peninsula with amazing hills - it used to be a volcano, now it's a wannabe French community. The French landed here before the English did, but when they went back to get settlers and equipment, the Brits stole the island from them.

Day 2: Mount Cook, with 3700 the highest peak here. We picked up some fresh farmed salmon on the way.

ps // So far I have only used one lens and aperture for New Zealand. Lensbaby all the way!

Leaving Australia at midnight - Melbourne to Christchurch. Next: two weeks of romping around New Zealand in a camper van.

When they say "extremely hot", they mean extremely hot...

Just cooked the spiciest dish I have ever made. I foolishly used 5 of the chilis for two people. For us it was edible, but just barely.

Phil's last day at work. I feel so pretty!

For Günther.

And while marbling accounts for a mere 10% of tenderness, it still makes it look so pretty...
