So, what have the adventurous pair been up to this week? We have our own car now, it has become kind of a giant handbag containing all our things, we no longer have to live out of a bag, we have a car to store towels, food, shoes, coats etc, all the bulky useless stuff we don't really need much! The car is amazing! we can now go where we want, stay where we want, have the freedom to change our minds, (which we have done alot!) we can stay longer or move on if i...

So where have we been? We went to the lovely sulphur smelling geysers of Rotorua, very impressive if a little whiffy! The hostel was lovely and had a naturally heated pool. OMG it was lovely, you wouldn't believe how hot it got though! Me and Aine skipped the high energy chaos adventure nit in favour of a free walk around the thermal park.
