Flying over New Zealand, I caught my first glimpses of the snow-capped mountain ranges far beneath us, was an amazing sight! Even before I had landed I could see hundreds of sheep scattered across the hillside, the stereotypical image you could imagine. The air was a lot cooler and fresher stepping off the plane and I didn't really know what to expect from this far away country. Having heard that the Kiwi's were a friendly nation, I was disheartened when the firs...

So we didn't have a great journey and after checking in to a hostel, we caught up on a bit of sleep. We woke up to have some free pancakes at the hoste...

First of all it was rush hour so there were hundreds of cars which was pretty alien to us as we had spent the last month on long straight and empty roads! Secondly we ended up paying the toll charge twice as we drove straight through the city and out again, but atleast we crossed the harbour bridge by night! Arriving at Robs hostel, we cooked up some food and s...
