From the mania of Santiago to the peaceful 50 square km, completely isolated, Pacific Island commonly known as Easter Island but to the locals Rapanui. We were booked onto a tour here and it was absolutely fab. The camera as you can see from our photos got some seriously prolific usage!! You really feel like you are on a different world. We were staying at Chez Joseph (really nice guy by the way) in Huanga Roa - the only town on the island but it look...

A week later we had met loads of lovely people around NZ all too happy to listen to our tales and tells us theirs. One guy had driven his camper the whole way down the mountainous and trecherous Haast Pass with no brakes!- honest and he seemed so sane but I guess that's what three years travelling does to a man!!

We were taken out on day trips to lake Tekapo, which is beautiful, up to Mt. Cook and the Hermitage. Clear a day as you ...

We're still here in Byron staying at the arts factory, just went in for a pub quiz here at the hostel with Elise and Nick. We thought it's only two dollars in, what the hell! So we ended up winning much to our surprise. Got about a hundred dollars in cash and a trip to Nimbin for two, a surf lesson and a kayaking with dolphins thing. We've been to Nimbin so Elise and Nick had that, so Caroline is going surfing and as I am not the best swimmer in the world...
