City, Country:: Roaming the world

About Me:: I am Mini Nick... I came into existence when Nick Holmes moved down near Antarctica to study penguins. Team Monkey needed a replacement for Nick. Basically it needed to be someone who was small, happy to travel anywhere and liked getting into photos... so I was it.

I have now set my goal to be the first top hatted sash wearing penguin to visit all continents, if you can help me, let me know.

I am happy to travel the world in people's bags or via FedEx to any obscure place. If you want to attend an event, let me know...

Hi everyone I have been lucky enough to go on yet another trip, this time to the jewel of the Orient, Singapore. Highlights of the trip were a visit to the famous lion on the waterfront and seeing one of those fancy big balloons on a string that people pay money to go up in. A bit scarey for me. I also took the opportunity to taste the World famous Singapore Sling cocktail at the equally famous Raffles Hotel. It was a lot of drink for a little penguin and I felt the worse for it afterwards.

Southern Adventures

Hi All Well I have been lucky enough to have been travelling again and have managed to get myself down to see some of my loosly linked relatives in the southern part of Patagonia. In fact in this trip I have been many places that are new and exciting. I have managed to stow away with Adam again and he has taken me to the following areas on this trip: Mexico City Chile Patagonia Cape Horn Argentina Ecuador (it was hot in the rainforest for a little penguin like me) Galapagos Islands and we are… Continue

Sailing is just like Ballooning...just wetter!

Wow! What a start to 2008.

Someone set me up for a little sailing trip over the New Years break and I have to say it was much more pleasant than I expected.

Normally I would just swim down the coast but riding with Sean and Phil on Namadgi as part of the 2007 Rolex Sydney to Hobart (TM, available in all good stores next Chris… Continue

Scared half to death...

Well after my jaunt to Beijing and Honkers it was off to Tochigi in Japan for some ballooning action.

I was given the opportunity to spend the week flying with some guy from Australia the announcers kept calling Seen Kavaana. Adam said he was sort of ok and had flown here before so figured I should be ok.

After the first flight I was so scared by the area and a near death experience on landing that I hid in his flight bag for the rest of the time and only got these few shots to… Continue

Beijing or Bust Baby

Hi to all of my friends out there.

I am writing to tell you of my lastest adventure. I was sitting around trying to handle my rejection after Chris Liberti didn't want me for ABQ, when a great offer came in from one of my friends, Adam, to joing him on a work trip to Hong Kong and Beijing, and then heading on to Tokyo for the Motegi balloon event. Of course I accepted.

I had a great time in Hong Kong, although I have had to share a room with Adam which has been a bit nasty as h… Continue
