<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest post on our blog is dating back to August 27th 2012!! Ouch... So what happened since then, and why haven't we been writing? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess we wanted this blog to be about our travels during our round the world which we didn't finish and I guess we ended up putting writing on hold. But I miss it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Writing was always on my top 10 'to do list' as they call it. I don't know why, but I enjoy writing. And, I don't care if nobody is ever going to read it. It is more about the exercise of it rather than wether people are going to read about it. Weird hey? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway... I am back on the blog. Logging moments, thoughts, ideas, whatever comes to mind. Kind like a private journal, but that everyone can read I guess. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is Tuesday 13th of January, and I am back in New Zealand after 10 months spent in France. Nothing has changed here, which is what I like most. Of course, new roads have been built, new businesses have been created, new people have arrived, but other than that, it is still the same. The same in a way that makes New Zealand what it is and should always remain. A place of peace and warmth, a place of smiling and genuinely friendly people. They should have called it the land of the happy people by the way. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have 60 days, now 59 days left to enjoy. And I want to write the most about my time here. I am probably not going to follow any writing protocol... I am just going to let my ming wander and will see what has happened 59 days later. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b>
<b>COMMITTED. </b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, this is what I am going to be. Committed. Committed to writing something everyday or so. Looking up at the definition, the word obligation came up. I am not a person who feels obliged to do something, committing is not really my thing, and I often cut corners or simply give up. So, for once I am going to stick to this. Writing. It might not make sense at the end. But there is only one way to find out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll see you in 59 days and we can talk about it. Between then and now. You'll have to wait and see. </div>

Time to break the hibernation right ?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiArct758VfMoDuRHdWPBmnjnoyBaBQku2ut9pRGMHVDZL325jrgTuBDWbDlceRh3x3O2d8I2aS9ZxlHkDzxQScILbTvopKW3siPUTIo0XChYwYb4zpiGq-9vsFrWZVjbri_6oX_LeFUfE/s1600/IMG_4169.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
<br />
Ok, while Marie was in Europe having all the fun, I decided to go meet my brother and parents in Fiji for a Weppe family reunion, a month ago. The family was complete for the first time in 4 years and just that is enough to make you have a great time. Now consider that this actually happened on what is pretty close to paradise on Earth in my opinion, Fiji.<br />
<br />
In no time, we were all on Fijian time, taking the sun, surfing (of course), snorkelling, spearfishing (more like snorkelling with a speargun unfortunately), stand up paddling (and totally assuming it), hunting for coconuts with a big cane knife, eating fresh fish, receiving the "Bula" yelled by locals with the widest smiles ever going through villages !<br />
<br />
No need to say the surf is amazing there. Tavarua is truly a gem obviously and the Coral Coast on the mainland hides so many quality breaks, it's confusing !<br />
<br />
All photos were taken by Steven Lyon, living the life in Fiji and willing to swim around the shallow reefs (when he's not getting barreled on his bodyboard, that is). check him out http://www.stevenlyon.com.au/<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry, we haven't been very good lately about keeping the blog updated... What's new for us?! Simon is going back in the water in three weeks! I am going to France for three months this summer (for the North hemisphere), so I'll get active and write from there! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Otherwise, we have been catching up with friends here in Raglan, and it is so nice to spend time with them. We had an amazing weather since we have been back (it has only rained 3 days!!), hence we have been able to do some really cool stuffs or just hang around and enjoy the amazing sunsets drinking some nice cold kiwi beers. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enough talking, here are a few photos of a fishing trip to Papanui Point in Raglan - which is mostly about drinking some nice red wine an eating some snacks, and if we get lucky, maybe catch a fish!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kakite Ano!</div>

<br />
We have now been back to beautiful NZ for a month! This place is just amazing, and we have the chance to have it as our home.<br />
<br />
More to come about our time back in Raglan, but first a few shots of the summer sunset we had over the past few weeks.<br />

Hello everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the story of our time in Oahu, Hawaii: We landed late evening at Honolulu International airport after a short 6 hours flight from California. After getting the rental car, we drove to the North Shore. Our first impression was that Waikiki did not really match the image we had of Hawaii; tall buildings, over packed town... but once we arrived on the North Shore, all of this bad first impression let go, and we finally felt good! There is pretty much nothing in the North Shore, when I say nothing I mean, no big buildings, no streets full of restaurants and shops, but there is a lot more than that to it; beautiful beaches and nature, people moving around on bikes, and of course awesome waves. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The swell was pretty small for the first few days, but hey, this is the North Shore during winter, so of course it did not last very long! Banzai Pipeline was soon firing 15+ N swell, with all the other famous spots showing what they have. Our days were about finding a cool place to surf, a spot where you won't pee your pants too much (sorry for the expression) each time the set was coming through! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you have probably read on our Facebook page, we had to stop our trip and come back to NZ so that Simon could get the time he needs to fix his knee. So I am actually writing from beautiful Raglan! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We really hope to be able to go back traveling very soon, but we really want Simon to be better first. The blog will keep on being updated with cool pictures from NZ and more...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to thank you all for following us, we had an amazing time on the road, and it sure won't be our last adventure!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Aloha & Mahalo.</div>

Oye Oye,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well well well... we are close to the end of our adventure in California, and what a journey it was!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I personally had no idea what to expect about the 'California lifestyle', and it certainly canno't be resumed to the easy stereotypes we see in Hollywood movies, as it would be at the same time entirely true and yet too simple to really explain what California is about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We met some amazing people, ate some crazy food, things like 'fa' (soup), 'shabu-shabu', New York style pizza, and drunk a hell lot of 'venti/tall non fat hot chocolate with no wipp cream'... and much more (Oh I was about to forget, Mexican food of course, chicken/asada/fish tacos etc...). We drove up and down the coast to amazing sceneries, parks and cities. And of course not to mention what the coast has to offer for surfing, from cold and grey Santa Cruz, to warm and hyppe La Jolla! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think 4 simple words really put it together: WE WILL BE BACK!! Be it as tourists, or who knowns, to settle there...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have put together what I think are the most beautiful pictures we have made of this great 'escapade'!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
10 days to go before we hit Hawaii!</div>

Hi everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So after our 5 days in San Francisco, and thanks to Nick from Lost Campers and his awesome advice, we decided to add the Lake Tahoe to our itinerary. And this was such a great idea! Having grown up in an island, I did not get to experience the mountains in winter, and our time at Lake Tahoe was simply overwelming! I canno't remember having seen that much snow in my entire life, not to mention the impressive alpin lake standing in the middle! We spent two days exploring the area, walking in knee deep snow (how awesome!), enjoying the incredible silence of the moutains. It is probably one of the most beautiful place I've ever seen! We then made our way to Yosemite national park, and again, what an amazing place... these big rocks hiden in the valley. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are now making our way to Death Valley...</div>

After our drive along Highway 1, we reached San Francisco last Sunday. The city is simply amazing: the architecture, the people, the cafés, the food, the shops etc... We loved it. Below our favorite photos of beautiful SF.<br />
We are now in Yosemite National Park, continuing our road trip to some other crazy place! But more on this later.<br />

Following the famous Pacific Coast Highway 1 towards San Francisco, we hit Big Sur.<br />
<br />
Big change from the Southern California, nobody there, real wild, big cliffs falling straight onto the ocean.<br />
We actually felt right at home, be it New Zealand or Brittany...(probably because it started raining too!).<br />

One cold windy morning a couple of weeks ago, we met Ron at Huntington Beach. After a quick chat he got interested by what we were doing and invited us for dinner to meet his girlfriend Angele that can speak a little french. Ever since we have been hanging out together quite a bit and they've been amazing with us, showing us all the good spots to surf, eat (my main activity now that I'm landlocked) and offered us a real bed to break the "van routine" :-). Thanks You guys for everything and you have a place to stay anytime in NZ!<br />
<br />
We caught up for some surfing last Saturday while we were down south in San Diego. After a false start at Torrey Pines (close out !!),we found a little spot close to Cardiff-by-the-Sea, the sky was grey for pretty much the first time in a month but thats not a problem for surfing right? <br />
<br />
Check out the ladies surfing !!....sorry Ron I got distracted by Marie for your last wave :-). The sun popped out right on time for a feast at Swami's Cafe afterwards! </div>

Hi there people ,<br />
<br />
Time to discover the south of SoCal right ? After a quick stop in Huntington Beach to catch up with friends we made our way to San Clemente with 2 missions: find a new board for Marie and surf the famous reefs of Trestles.<br />
As you can see, both missions accomplished ! Marie found a nice little Timmy Patterson 5'11 and we caught a little swell that lit up the Trestles reefs. Check out Marie trying her new board !<br />
<br />
PS: You all wonder how on earth she got me to take pictures isn't it? ...well you remember this sleepy early morning check gone wrong in Panama ..Well after surfing in pain for about a month turns out I ll have to be landlocked for few weeks to make my knee right for the rest of the trip....<br />
To "survive" this, we ll go up north to spend some time in San Fransisco and then get lost in the wilderness in the Yosemite Park !! Not too bad for a plan B !simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12981823506964267697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132421078731174645.post-33843800019292694562012-01-13T11:18:00.000-08:002014-12-29T10:57:55.714-08:00Californian coast in campervan<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:RelyOnVML/> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:HyphenationZone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>FR</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

<span lang="EN-US">Hi guys,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">So we have been cruising along the Californian coast with our awesome Catie van for around two weeks now. I think it is time to let you know of our awesome experience. First of all, the van enables us to move around with the swell, stay and camp in amazing places, and the weather here is awesome, so no trouble being in the campervan for so long (yet?!). </span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Our van is a Dodge Grand Caravan; we rented it from a small company based in San Francisco called Lost Campers (http://www.lostcampersusa.com/). If you are keen on doing the same, their fleet his awesome, they have three different types of vans depending on your needs! It is very cheap and the people there very nice! Enough talking, here are some photos!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">We are currently in San Diego. We are planning on moving to the central coast next week. Keep you posted.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">After 2 months in South/Central America, arriving to Los Angeles was a bit of a shock and we actually felt more out of place than in Perù and Panama for the first few days. Soon enough though, after a few Starbucks coffees and traffic jams, it was back to business as usual, funny how fast it goes. My parents and youngest brother came from France to spend Christmas with us and wanted to make the most of it so the first 2 weeks have been pretty busy. We spent few days in LA to check the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk, Hollywood and Beverly Hills, Malibu, Ventura, and Santa Barbara. Then we headed south to San Diego via the desert (Joshua Tree and Anza Borrego National Park). I think we kind of all fell under the charm of San Diego…amazing coastline and super cool city…we stayed at La Jolla (mean the jewel) and it does deserve its name! Oh yeah there is also a massive oceanographic center and university overlooking one of the best spot of the region (Blacks Beach)…It made us seriously consider doing some more studies ! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Hope you enjoy the pictures. We are now in Ventura, with our awesome van Catie. Videos, photos and updates coming soon!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US">Hi everyone,</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">After cruising the Californian coast, we decided to have a change of scenery and get our freak on by going to Las Vegas for the New Year. For us, Las Vegas was one of those places you have to visit, because you have heard so much about. To be honest, we had mixed feelings about what to expect… The drive from Los Angeles takes around four to five hours and crosses the Mojave Desert. On the way, random ‘cities’ have grown to accommodate the gambling freaks and give you a little hint of what Las Vegas can be. We arrived at night and the city is pretty much standing alone in the middle of the desert, with its high casino towers. After a cosy night in our lovely van (her name is Catie by the way) we were ready for Vegas. Everything is done so that it is very easy for people to spend in the Casinos. The food and even sometimes the price of the ho</span><span lang="EN-US">tel rooms are discounted to make sure you have enough money to spend on all those machines and tables ! Resort car parks are free to anybody, so we ended up parking (and kind of camping !) at the Treasure Island Resort, fancy isn’t it !! The Strip, as it is known, is a 5 km long portion of the Las Vegas boulevard, where all the big attractions, casinos and resorts are. The flow of people there is unbelievable. It took us 50 minutes to walk back to the car-park one time, because you are just stuck in the middle of the crowd. And surprisingly this crowd is a real mix of people, from the foreign tourists amazed by the whole concept, the Vegas gambling freaks, the good old bogans, to the homeless, street performers…and more ! In two days, we hardly had enough time to visit all the resorts, each having their own little ‘inside world’; the Paris casino/resort for example, as its own ‘Boulevard’, a representation of a French town. Anyway, I can go on and on about Vegas, but you got the picture: you might not be into the whole gambling/partying hard, but it is still worth seeing!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">After surfing some empty beachbreak waves at Wizard Beach on Bastimentos for our last days in Bocas del Toro, we left Bocas Town under a burning sun. 4 buses and a couple of taxis later, we arrived to Santa Catalina on the Pacific Coast. As a side note, this trip was also the occasion to test how many persons you can fit in 25-seat bus….the answer is about 50 but it is not super comfortable!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Most surfers will know Santa Catalina at least by name, and we had mixed expectations from what we had read and heard (crowd etc..) but it is still mostly the jungle out there and it was pretty quiet. We stayed at a nice little place, right on the beach, overlooking “La Punta” which is the main spot of the area (thanks Shay for the recommendation!). The swell we tracked down on the forecast maps showed up progressively as expected…good introduction to the place with 2-3 ft the first day, 3-4 ft the next and 4-6 ft the third. The spot is a righthand reef break with nice wally sections and a great rhythm…plus the water is amazingly warm (almost doesn’t feel normal when you jump out). The wave is surfed mid to high tide only so the main task of our few days there was watching the tide fill in and pick the best time to go out. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The swell was supposed to peak the fourth day so I made sure to wake up early to check it out and maybe catch the end of the mid tide early morning….well here is a lesson: make sure you are actually awake when you get out of bed..while still half asleep I managed to miss a step and smash my knee on the corner of the terrace…Small consolation, it turned out the swell had peaked the day before and it was onshore and a bit too low already. One more high-tide evening session and we were off to Panama City again to take our plane.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Hi everyone, </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">From Panama city, we caught a bus to Bocas del Toro (10 hours), where we spent a week. The white sand beaches, the Caribbean culture, vibe and food, and the amazing tropical plants and fruits here and there are all reminders that you are in the Caribbean! We caught a small swell when we arrived, and had the chance to surf in boardies, surrounded by amazing sceneries. We did a fair amount of biking in Bocas, as everything can pretty much be done by bike (unless you want to visit the other islands of course!). So we would bike 7 kms each way to the surf spots, surf, eat, chill, sleep, and this over again for three days. Then the swell dropped, so we went to Bocas del Drago on the other side of the island. Again more biking, way harder this time, but definitely worth the (hilly) ride. Starfish beach as it is called is one of the most beautiful beach I have seen, coconut trees, crystal clear water, hardly anyone, a little sheltered paradise… breathtaking. Because the swell was small we did not get the chance to surf the best spot of the archipelago on Carenero Island, but we did get some good surf at Bastimentos (another island). Wizard Beach is accessible either by boat by walking a very muddy path (it is the rainy season in the Islands). After two more days of surf at Wizard and some mud walking, we are on the road again, going to Santa Catalina on the Pacific coast. Flying to California in 8 days! </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We arrived in Panama on Monday after two flights of a few hours and a stopover in Bogota. We spent the first night and the following day in Casco Viejo which is the old Panama city. There is a very nice hostal there, called Luna's Castle, an old private home immensely big and beautifuly decorated! The next morning we walked around the neighborhood which until recently was of little interest to the richer Panamians who left for Nuevo Panama, on the other side of the city. However, in 2003 the UNESCO declared Casco Viejo an important aspect of the Panamian Heritage and since then reconstruction of the abandonned and deteriorated buildings has taken place. Although most buildings are still in very bad shape, you can only imagine how beautiul this part of the city must have been...</div>
We then took a bus to Bocas del Toro on the Northern Caribbean coast of Panama, but more on this in our next update!<br />
Cheers,<br />
Marie.<br />

<br />
Back to lower grounds after our trip in the mountains. No monster swell around so we didnt get to surf the mythical waves of chicama...I did have a "ceviche" there which was totally mythical though (peruvian dish made of raw fished with lemon and chili..amazing !!!) <br />
<br />
Anyway, we headed further north towards Pacasmayo, more exposed and consistent. The waves there are guess what....long lefthanders! We stayed a few days getting to know the wave and hurting our arms paddling back against the currents (there was also some more ceviches involved but that's another story).<br />
As I was getting close to being surfed out, I took a few pictures of Marie tuning her carving game on the pacasmayo's lefts.Check it out !! <br />

After checking out all the weird stuff of the shaman's market in Chiclayo we headed out northeast to the small town of Chachapoyas in the northern Andes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Chachapoyas" which means People of the Clouds was also the name of an ancient civilization that used to live in the area. They were conquered by the more famous Incas sometime before the Spanish showed up in Perù. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our mission was to visit their massive fortress that is hidden in the mountains at +3000 m overlooking the Utcubamba Valley. After a dodgy combi ride at dawn at 100 km/h in narrow gravel roads on the edges of the cliffs (I wish I had slept all the way like Marie, I would have been less tense !!) we got to the small pueblo Maria. A couple of hours walk and we got to Kuelap !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The size of the whole structure is impressive and it is hard to imagine the amount of work and time required to get all that up. It was pretty amazing to walk though the ruins on top of the mountains...it seemed to be a pretty well organized community<span id="goog_2141798204"></span><span id="goog_2141798205"></span>. Plus they have the nicest views of the mountains so that was probably a sweet life up there !</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you enjoy the pictures and the next update will be Marie ripping the long walls of Pacasmayo !</div>
