Kia Ora people ha ha. Just got back to Auckland after spending a week away on our jollies. We went to Mount Maunganui (or something can't remember spelling but you guys won't have a clue anyway). It was a small holiday resort (is it a town or a village Chrissie?!) near Tauranga (again stupid Maori word I can't spell). The Mount is by the sea (where we stayed) and has the most gorgeous beaches, white sand crystal clear water and its so long that ther...

We got a flight from Hobart around 6am and our flight to Aucland wasn't leaving until about 5 in the afternoon so we bought the worlds most expensive breakfast (robbing gits) and found some chairs and just slept for as long as we could.

Well we've had a very productive last few days. On Wednesday we went on cruise up the river to the Cadbury's factory!

He was waffling on about all sorts of rubbish from backpacker's hostels to industrial spies, you name it he talked about it! But did get to...

Hi just a quick one to let you know what I'm up to. On Thursday we caught a flight out of the very very hot Melbourne to the much cooler Tasmania (about 23 degrees at the moment), where we're staying with Kats family Robert, Robyn and their daughter Clare in Hobart. Its a lovely little city (more like a town really) with old buildings and gorgeous scenery and a sweet little harbour front with seafood and bars and stuff. Robert's house is in a spectac...

On Saturday we went on the Neighbours tour. This was so awesome! We were picked up from the hostel and first taken to the neighbours souvenier (sorry for spelling) shop where i bought a book and Kat bought a T Shirt and we met Libby Kennedy!!!!! Seriously check out the photos we got a couple of autographs too and she came on the bus and talked to us all for a bit, she's so nice (and really skinny too which i didn't expect). On the bus on the way there we ...
