ACCESSIBLE ACCOMMODATION . . Today, I started my scout for the best accessible rooms I could find in Central Auckland. The rooms need to be easy wheeling to the Britomart (central train station), Spark Arena (events centre), Main Ferry Terminal, Queen Street and The Viaduct (bars and restaurants galore). . THEY HAVE TO BE RIGHT IN AMONGST IT ALL . I decided to post a pic of this bathroom because of its impressive size ... spacious and big ♿️ . However, It was missing a seat or bench to sit on. The Duty Manager informed me that a (backless) shower stool was available on request. So I think for most of us that would mean BYO or hire one. . The room came with a great view, but it’s real selling feature was that much sort after interconnecting room. . Can’t wait to share the full review. . . #accessforall #accessibility #accessibleaccommodation #travelforall #aucklandcbd #accessiblebathroom #sparkarena #aucklandcentral #wheelchair #wheelchairtravel #grabyourwheels #wheelies #accessibletourism #travelwithoutlimits #newzealand
Well it’s certainly good to be back revisiting our old haunts again. Finlay’s leg is still pretty sore. Our outings are generally short and sweet so he can head home to rest his leg more. . . We bumped into all sorts of locals who hadn’t seen us around for a while. It was so nice to know we’d been missed. Barley was never too far away from Finlay’s side ... a true companion that dog 🐕 . . #rehab #lowbonedensity #musclespasms #familytravel #inclusion #travelwithoutlimits #auckland #skytower #travelforall #beingfree #wheelchair #wheelchairlife #cerebralpalsy #cp #newzealand #powerchairs #invacare #devonport #accessibletravel #accessiblewalks #parkbench
Well sometimes you never know where your day might take you. I thought I’d be pottering around the house and water blasting the moss off the concrete outside, but instead I ended up exploring this beautiful area. Looking forward to bringing our Finlay here in the near future with his Hippocampe Wheelchair. The shore is easy to access along with a nice easy wheel into the crystal clear sea. The Bay borders onto the Hunua Ranges Regional Park too with lots of walking tracks and trails to explore. . . Beautiful fertile countryside to drive through to get here, only 17km from South Auckland. A real horse lovers paradise. . . So looking forward to checking out the accessibility around the Park itself on our return. I’ve also heard the Clevedon-Kawakawa Famers Market is worth a visit too on a Sunday. . . #newzealand #accessforall #wheelchair #hippocampewheelchair #auckland #accessibility #familytravel #disability #ability #travelforall #barrierfree #cerebralpalsykids #regionalparks #powerchair #accessiblebeaches #accessiblewalks #oysters
Well it’s been slow going getting ‘out and about’ since our Finlay broke his leg. Low bone density is going to be a new challenge without our usual standing transfers. Transportable hoist and a new adapted vehicle is on our high list of priorities. However, today we finally went out into our local community to smell and touch the nature. Our Barley (the dog) returning to Finlay’s side. . . We are looking forward to helping Finlay get stronger again. His leg spasms have become aggressive and painful so the Physio/rehab period is going to be a slow and painful one. . . . However, despite this Finlay’s need to get back into nature is apparent. So we are busy making some plans on where we can venture out to. Things are on the up and we are so looking forward to assessing some fantastic #accessiblewalks for you in our blog- #onwardandupward ♿️✅ . . #rehab #lowbonedensity #standingtransfers #familycaregivers #travelbloggers #accessforall #accessibility #travelforall #life #cerebralpalsy #wheelchair #accessibletravel #accessiblewalks #newzealand #disability

is in Croatia! . Checking out wheelchair accessibility wherever we go! . . Views of the old town of Dubrovnik are wheelchair accessible via cable car. We love the fact you could easily wheel onto the cable car to take in the stunning vistas of this beautiful historic city. Mobility parking at its entrance or take a public bus with ramp access to where you get on. Ramping was easy wheel on ♿️✅ . . 🇭🇷 Croatia . . #accessforall #accessibletourism #wheelchairtravel #wheelchairlife #accessibletravel #accessiblecroatia #travelforall #croatia #wheelchair #accessibility #travelwithoutlimits #barrierfreetravel #kiwistravel #accessibleviews #barrierfree #dubrovnik
