After little sleep, we finally arrived in Byron at 9am on the 24th April! We had to finalise a few things with Peter Pan's and then we checked into the 10th best hostel in Oz - pretty good few days ahead expected... There was only one thing to do next - go to the beach! We both noticed that this was the Oz equivalent of Pai in Thailand, one of our favourite places so far - it's very chilled out, quite hippy and very quirky! We arranged to meet Glen and Sam - our ...

After probably the best flight ever - chicken meal, Budweiser and Django Unchained - we touched down in Sydney at 6pm. By this time it was dark and rather chilly, which was surprising! Anyhow, we got through the airport all ok and arranged a shuttle bus into the city to our hostel. By hostel, as we discovered upon arriving at 'Asylum', we experienced a whole new definition of the word. The English translation of an Aussie hostel appears to be something along the ...

We woke up early for the long haul from QT to Christchurch.. Was a long 450km journey!

The next day we got all of our stuff together and Gary took us b...

The night we returned from our bottom bus was very chilled! We just made some dinner and crashed out after a long and good few days. That morning we caught up on some sleep and set out to town to have a look around some souvenir shops and bought a few things. As the weather has recently turned overcast and slightly chilly we just stayed in for the afternoon sorting out our belongings and what not for the flight on Saturday to Oz. We also spent some time figuring ...

Today we took a very long bus journey to what was recently voted 'the most beautiful place on earth', Milford Sound. I haven't been everywhere on earth (yet) but for the moment I will have to agree with whoever gave it that title. The waterways and mountains were formed by a glacier that crashed its way through during the last ice age! It really is an incredible place. There's waterfalls everywhere, the water is sparkling blue and best of all we had amazing weath...
