    Who is this woman?!

    Calling for this woman to own up – did you pee your pants??

    Chilling out in an Ice Hotel

    Personally I can’t think of much worse than tromping through ice to spend the night in an igloo. Oh sure it may be a fancy pants igloo, but an igloo by any other name is still an igloo. However hand carved Ice Hotels are incredibly popular, so if spending the night on an ice slab [...]

    Wacky Spa treatments around the world

    So this morning I was up early (how does Petra do it?) and headed into TVNZ to talk weird and wacky spa treatments. Originally meant to cover 3 types, I managed to only cover the fish-foot eating pedicures in my 2 minutes 19 seconds. Clearly I need to go back! Click here to see the [...]

This jandal (or rather, thong) was spotted on the roof of Citron Vert cafe in Parnell Friday lunchtime just after the horizontal rain fell… [...]

    Stay a night in the cells at Napier Prison

    Pull up at the old Napier Prison these days and instead of police vans and naughty people leering through the iron bars, you’ll find the Napier Prison Tours and Entertainment vehicle parked out the front and backpackers walking through the gates. This scungy prison, built in 1858, closed only in 1993 after being deemed unfit [...]

    Would you shave your head for a free flight??

    That’s the challenge from Air New Zealand … If you’re up for getting your luscious golden tresses shaved off onboard a flight from Auckland to the Queenstown Winter Festival – you get the flight for free! On June 27th ALL passengers AND crew will be ‘shaving for a cure’ for the Leukemia and Blood Foundation [...]
