Just arrived in Auckland today - had to hand our campervan back (after 3 hours of sheer scrubbing!). Very sad to say goodbye to the Queenie, and a weird adjustment to make to be back as travellers in hostels again!

We have had an amazing time in Australia, would love to go back to Melbourne - not sure we could live here, and it has been seriously expensive, but we have tried to make the most of everything and have had a really great time. Last time I wrote from Brisbane - pretty tired from non-stop going, so we needed a 'day off' (don't laugh, traveling can get tiring sometimes I...
