Bula!! (Hello) from Fiji! Just arrived. Its hot and humid (certainly compared to New Zealand), and its only late at night here. We were met at the airport by 4 guys singing and playing guitars Fijian-style (doesn't often happen at Heathrow!). Seems like a really friendly and relaxed country. The south Island of New Zealand was an awesome place - we had a great time. The camper van was cool! didnt get any choice of design, but we were both really happy with what...

Hi Everyone, We've been in New Zealand now for nearly two weeks and have already had an amazing time so far. We flew in to Auckland and spent a few days there in a really nice hostel. We decided to do a tour of the north island with the Stray bus after speaking to others who had done it and recommended it.

We went to see the Bunyip at Murray bridge before leaving Adelaide, the Bunyip is a Aboriginal Bogeyman! We can explain more when we're home. We also visited the Big Lobster -...

G'day from Adelaide, Oz! Seems like ages since we last blogged on, so before we leave Adelaide tomorrow let us recap what we've been up to. After Koh Samui in, we hopped on the ferry north to another island Koh Pha-Nang, famous for its Full Moon Parties. We did manage to get to a Half Moon Party which was an experience! Pha-Nang was one of the best islands we stayed at - just the right size. Great beaches. Amazing food at the local markets (I had a mass...
