Woah, it's warm and humid! We certainly knew we were no longer in New Zealand. We spent our first night in Nadi before we begun our Awesome Adventures Pass the next day. We thought we would have been on a tour with a similar format to what we had in New Zealand, but we're pretty much on our own, which was fine, just not what we expected. The first place we stayed wasn't very good. Driving from the airport to the 'hotel', we use that word loosely, wasn't very impr...

The first day of a new week we said goodbye to some of our group that were only going to be with us for seven day and made our way to Nelson, which is still on the South Island, for a couple of nights. We went through Kaikoura on the way through, and to Ohau Point where we spotted tons of seals in their natural habitat, they are so cute! We went through the Marlborough region which is famous for its wines and eventually made it to Nelson. Our first full day in N...

After a long (freezing!) cold night at Melbourne airport, we boarded our plane to Christchurch (New Zealand) both immediately falling asleep on the plane as we were taking off.

We were both looking forward to having our own r...

So on Monday we went and got our campervan - 'Jucy Lucy' (that's what we named her) the company we hired from are called Jucy so we didn't have to stretch our imaginations very far to get to Lucy. We set off towards the Great Ocean Road armed with maps, looking forward to our road trip! The campervan was an automatic so we didn't have to worry about gears, however we are both used to them so it was weird getting used to having no clutch! They drive on the same si...

Before we got to start our campervan adventure driving along the Great Ocean Road, we of course, experienced another hiccup in Melbourne. On Friday evening it started to rain - heavily. We had planned to venture out with some girls we had met in our hostel but none of us fancied walking around in it. We agreed we'd wait until it had stopped and then we'd head out. Whilst sitting in our room, all the lights went out. The rain continued and it became obvious it was...
