Aha! Another blog I hear you cry (... real tears an' all!) New Zealand. The poor brother to Australia - well, not really! Some people have told us it's a lot colder in New Zealand - much like the weather in England. This week has been evidence to the contrary. Christchurch was lovely and warm the two days we were there and Queenstown was 30 degrees today. There was a bit of rain on Friday - I had to explain to the locals what it was - but it looks like it's goin...

yeees Lauren's back! Wowsers .. what a busy couple of days. Not that we were complaining about the weather but the last couple of days have been overcast, which has been a slight relief. Sydney is awesome, lots to do, really cool bars, far to cool for us Brits!! :-) Last night we dressed up (well wore semi-decent clothes - rather than Millets shorts and fleeces) and booked a swanky restaurant next to the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

The menu for yesterday evening was spag-bol a...

The next morning We ventured out into glamorous Hollywood.
