The next day in Tasmania the weather was beautiful too - nice and hot and sunny. I had planned to go to the wildlife park down the road but the (crazy) guy who worked there said it was expensive and not as good as the one in Bicheno - the next town I was staying in, so changed my plans again! Drove just down the road to some beautiful sights, caves, archways and dramatic cliffs all along the coast, and I had a good walk all along the tops of the cliffs in the Nat...

Hello wow it feels like ages since I have updated this and it is - it's 2 weeks ago so I think that this may be longer than normal - shock horror! Get the kettle on to read this one!

This picture is wher...

Going to catch the tram now into the city centre about 25 minutes away ...

Hello again for the last time from New Zealand - the land of Kiwis (the birds, fruit and people!) and of many sheep and beautiful scenery which I will miss so much! I have been doing loads since I last updated as that was some time ago now! Have been waiting to use the cheap internet in Auckland as I was in a beautiful tiny place by the sea for ages with the cheapest internet $6 an hour and it's $2 here much better! ($6 is like 2.50 quid!) I last wrote my postcar...
