Arrived in Nelson pretty late in the afternoon but we got to stop off along the way to have a random bush walk and sit around a nice lake. That was nice. Spent the whole of the next day at the Abel Tasman National Park. It was really beautiful. Went sea kayaking all day. It literally was for hours. Sooo tired! But the sea was mega calm so it really wasn't that hard and definitely a lot easier then when Matthew and I did it in Laos, crazy!! But that was a good...

Well only stayed in Kaikoura for a night but we arrived in the afternoon and it was a fantastic day. I decided to try something different and go swimming with seals. That was pretty cool and we were lucky that there were loads of seals around and we ended up having these two seals swimming and playing with us for about an hour. I had to wear a thick wet suit though and boots because the sea is too cold. But it was pretty cool and good to do something different. T...

Well I successfully completed the first part of the journey alone. It was the first time I had flown, even though I have done it a million times. Was mega easy but had an issue on the plane when I realised that I hadn't arranged a visa or anything. It was all ok as it turns out that I didn't need one anyway. Lucky!! But Christchurch is nice, amazing weather on Saturday. Had a cultural and intellectual day of looking around the Contemporary Arts Musuem and...

Even though we didn't take any pictures really in Cairns it was pretty nice. It just happened that I didn't have my camera and we really didn't do that much. Just spent a day by the lagoon, the sea is a no go so they have a really nice lagoon instead. Great weather again and got in lots more sunbathing. Other then walking around and having a look at the city and in the night markets, we just headed out on a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef. That was...

Well as you can see from the pictures there really wasn't much here. It was a nice place to come and chill out in especially after Fraser Island and the Whitsundays but I am glad that we were only here for 2 nights. The weather, for the first time, wasn't that great and you couldn't go in the sea and out hostel pool was closed off. I just ended up sitting on the decking area overlooking the sea writing my journal and reading most of the day. But that ...
