The past few days were pretty adventurous! 10.11.2016 On the way from Rotorua, we stopped to have a stroll in the Red Woods. - We were wondering around the beautiful Canadian red woods for nearly an hour. Chris kept making huge plans of nicking some of the pine cones and planting "those amazing, straight trees" in England, so in the future he could make some incredible furniture out of the great timber! (I found it quite amusing!) After a pleasant walk, we also...

14.11.2016 After our black water rafting, we were lucky to use last rays of sunshine to have lunch in one of the lovely parks nearby. Later on, it was just grey clouds and rain... - A pretaste of the days to come. Cruising on the Surf Highway in Taranaki, we felt gutted the weather was so bad and we couldn't try surfing! I would have loved to learn there, as the beaches were breathtaking! Having spotted the sign pointing towards the Three Sisters (rock formation...

But a week in Auckland was enough and we were more than ready to explore New Zealand! To start with, w...

23.10-27.10.2016 A dream came true when we saw the beautiful bay outside our plane's window! We are finally in New Zealand! The journey here was pretty tiring and the first flight... oh well... a rip off! Having been spoiled on the way to Japan, we assumed the airline would provide all the meals. Soon after discovering we have to pay for the films on board, we realised our food didn't come cheap either. We made our entertainment programme worth it and watched as...

Sorry guys, we are massively behind keepng you updated! Here's a quick catch up. 20-22.10.2016 The last two days in Japan, we spent in Ueno, the so called cultural district of Tokyo. I managed to find a hostel right in the centre where we had a private, Japanese style room. It felt like a five star hotel after our stay in Troy! We even stuck the sleeping Japanese matts on top of each other to make a comfy bed - worked out pretty well! And being able to take a s...
