Decided to extend our 1 night stay in Wellington to 3 nights in search of some R&R to help us over our flus. Sparkling wine made an unwelcome return enticing us to crash another buses private party and drink all their free Jagermeister. Frolicked home screeching a medley of select irish folk tunes and attempting unsuccessfully to swing around lamp posts, before skulking home to nurse our battle wounds..

Arrived in Christchurch with our new found bessie (Deirdre) in tow to discover a very beautiful man in our room in the form of Joe, the most stunning adonis the world has ever known. After much ogling we headed out in search of a hangover cure in the form of a KFC, Burger King and several whiskeys.

(Previously we had been on...

Wewere afflicted by a terrible dose of rain which insisted on following us down the coast, from Brisbane through Surfer's Paradise, to Byron Bay, forcing us to take shelter in numerous pubs and clubs along the way. Luckily the mpany was good and the craic out in full force. Good times were had by all. Sorry we can't go into more details but the weather really was against us and we did very little!! After a horrific 13 hour night bus from Byron Bay to Sydney,...
