Hi guys, well we had the most amazing time of our whole trip so far in Fiji. We loved it there so much! We arrived in Nadi on the main Island and stayed for 1 night in a lovely hotel where we had a great meal. The next day we had an early start to catch the ferry to our resort Botaira in the Yasawa Islands. As we had booked through the resort we got to travel in the Captains Lounge where we had free drinks all morning! So Ben started on the beers at 8.30am! ...

The boat trip took us to some amazing scenery, lush green hills with (rich) people's houses nestled amon...

Hi guys, we've now been in New Zealand for 10 days and we're loving it!   The country is beautiful and we've been so busy as there is so much to see and do. We arrived in Auckland on 8 May.  Auckland is a big city and we did all the usual city things here, museum, aquarium, walked to the harbour and around the city.  We also went up the Sky Tower which allows you to have 360 degree panoramic views of the city.  What they don't warn you about is...
