(Lucy) In the photo we are at Lake Tekapo on our 'summer' holiday. It was a little colder than we expected as the snow fell. We started our trip at the beginning of November. We arrived to a partially rebuilt Christchurch which was interesting. The CBD has a small shopping mall with all of the shops built into brightly painted shipping containers. The next street over was closed off due to the crumbling buildings. It was eerie and strange. We stayed the night i...

Most people go to a cafe to watch the world g...

We're now in Bali drawing to the end of the travelling, it's been great but we're ready to get settled for a while now. The ballet in Prambanan was interesting not what you'd normally expect but Lucy enjoyed it. We'd heard that the best was to get to Bali was via mount Bromo on a trip so we were quite excited as the pictures looked magical.
