It's the 27th April and we are in Rotorua. We started the first day off yesterday with a sheep shearing and sheep dog show which was quite good. Then we headed to the skyline and luge centre where we got in a cable car and went into the mountains, getting a great view of the area as we were really high up! We then had a couple of goes of luging, which is basically a sledge on wheels that you steer yourself down tracks on the hills which was pretty fast. Next up ...

It's the 25th April and we started our tour this morning in Auckland, and headed to Waitomo. On the way we stopped of the see a kiwi bird which is the native bird of New Zealand. After lunch we checked into our little chalet for the night, and headed to the Waitomo caves.

But when it stopped we had a wander round the city, it reminded us a lot of a smaller version of London (probably something to do with the rain!) we decided to stock up and buy an extra jumper each we freeze to death after being used to the super heat in Ca...

It's the 19th April and this morning we said goodbye to Jodie :( and then there was 2 again. We have moved to a chilled hostel but will miss staying at Gilligan's and our crazy German roommates. We had a hangover style night out after our boat trip with 3 Aussie guys we met on the boat. Starting off just a few civilised drinks soon tuned into dancing on tables, skittle shots, men carrying handbags, crazy dance moves, pushing Jodie around in a shopping trolly and...
