Fiji has been incredible! It is such a beautiful place and the people have got to be the friendliest in the world! We started our time in Fiji in Nadi. We were booked into Smugglers Cove for the first couple of days to decide where we wanted to go. We had 2 weeks in total to work with so booked ourselves a Bula pass and accommodation pass to tour round the islands as we pleased. In Fiji we met up with our friend Adam who we spent Christmas and New Year with. Ov...

This is only a quick update to tell of my last week in New Zealand. Our last day in Auckland we finally got some good weather so went up the Sky Tower. It was a really clear day so we could see great views right across Auckland. We also got to see a couple of people do the jump off the tower. After that we took a visit to the Auckland Museum. It was really big and full of interesting things. There was lots on Maouri culture and an interesting bit on volcanoes. Ho...

In Queenstown I did my bungy jump! I dont know where the sudden urge to do it came from but I suddenly felt I couldn't come to New Zeland and not do one! I'm glad I did.

When I saw it I was terrified but at the same time was really anxious to jump off. There was absolutely no ...

We were picked up in Christchurch by Jan, a family friend of Laurens. We stayed with her for the weekend to settle in and she made us very welcome. It was definitely a lot colder in New Zealand than Australia! The day after we arrived in Christchurch we made a mad dash for the shops to buy some warm clo...

After a great time in Sydney I flew to Melbourne to meet back up with Lauren. We were staying in Base Backpackers in the St Kilda area. I really liked Melbourne. I think the reason I was most excited about Melbourne was because we got to do all the Neighbours stuff! On the night we arrived we went to the Neighbours Trivia night in a nearby pub. I was very excited about this! We got to meet Dr Karl, Michelle Scully and a couple of other new members to the cast. Th...
