Norway
/0 Comments/in Landscape, Mostly Photos, Mountains, Norway, Travel/by CodyI haven’t had any chance to work on images. I just found a wireless connection at the library here in Bergen. In 2 hours I’ll be on the Ferry to Shetland (Scotland). Two days ago I hitchhiked here from Trondheim, 700+km. Two days on the road.
A few quick pics of Norway for the meantime…
Two weeks on Juist
/0 Comments/in Germany, Landscape, Mostly Photos, Travel/by CodyTime passes so quickly… Views of Germany and Netherlands to the south, the North Sea is northwards while Islands are to the east and west. Not a bad view day in and day out. 17km beach, No cars…
The Future is North
/0 Comments/in Random stuff, Travel/by CodyIn two weeks I’ll be standing on German soil with a pack on my back and my compass directing me north into the Norwegian artic. Not sure of my exact path of travel or the time it will take, or how long I will stay; none of that matters anyhow…
Heading home
/0 Comments/in Landscape, Mostly Photos, Mountains, New Zealand, Travel/by CodyThe sun is getting low on the horizon on my final full day here in NZ. Tomorrow I fly from Christchurch to Auckland, then it’s back to foggy California. Today was my first free day this week, the previous 6 were spent sitting at the car market trying to sell my van; which I managed to do yesterday, at last. At least the sky parted today and the sky was blue (well, mostly) unlike the cold and wet weekend.
Goodbye New Zealand…
Return to Golden Bay
/0 Comments/in Climbing, Landscape, Mostly Photos, New Zealand, Travel/by CodyDespite the name, Golden bay has been everything but ‘golden’ in the last week. Rain, rain, and a bit more rain. Despite this, a few days on the rock have still be managed. Here’s a few photos of myself at work and play. And no, I dont wear the same black pants every day…

A few pics I’ve managed between the rain.
Moorea
/0 Comments/in Landscape, Moorea, Mostly Photos, Travel/by CodyA few quick images, I haven’t even put them all on my comp yet; no memory or time.
3 weeks until I step foot in California again…
A Week Among Giants
/0 Comments/in Climbing, Landscape, Mostly Photos, Mountains, New Zealand, Travel/by Cody10 days in Mt. Cook national park:
Alright, I guess I should add some words for the first time in a long while. Yes, I’m still alive. Tomorrow I get on a plane for a week in Tahiti. At that time, I’m going to book my flight home, sometime around May 15 give or take. But I wont be home for long, only a few weeks. Then it is north, to follow the summer again, up into the arctic and the midnight sun; which I haven’t seen in 5 long years…
I’ve been up before sunrise every day for the last 2 weeks; bitterly cold in the morning, especially when it had been raining for 3 days straight and all your clothes are wet, with no hope of drying. At which point you give up and goto sleep at 6:30 in the evening, too lazy or tired or cold even to bother cooking dinner; since it will be either rice and or beans in tomato sauce, which you have eaten for the last 4 days straight since all the fresh food you had ran out and your bread went moldy. But even here, the sun returns, and you find yourself 100 meters up the side of a cliff with a bit more to go, watching the next storm approach from the west, hoping the rain will at least wait until you have finished climbing. Its cold and windy, but you cant decide if its worth the effort to pull you jacket out of your pack, since its not that cold. Back to the shelter and within 5 mins the rain starts falling.
How did a picture of me get on here? Careful your monitor doesn’t break!
Six Weeks of Life…
/0 Comments/in Landscape, Mostly Photos, Mountains, New Zealand, Travel/by CodyIf a photo is worth a thousand words, then here are 22 thousand words for the last six weeks of my life. In reality though, no words can can do justice to these days now gone…
The Long and Lonely Road
/0 Comments/in Landscape, Mostly Photos, New Zealand, Travel/by CodyNot long after dawn this morning. The van and I alone again, on the road to nowhere…
