Fiji BULA! We arrived in Fiji on the eve of the 31st Aug and stayed for 9 nights, leaving on the 9th. During our time here we stayed on Nadi for 2 nights in two different hostels and on the Waya Island at Octopus and Wayalailai resort for 7 nights in total. Each place was memorable one way or another, whether it was for beautiful views, the Fijian laid back happy culture or for the people we met (some good, some very wierd!).

Kaikoura, Hamner Springs and Pancake Rocks Our next stop on the south island tour was Kaikoura to go dolphin swimming in the lovely warm sea, we then went to Hamner Springs to warm up in the hot pools, next we stopped of at the pancake rocks on the way to Franz Joseph! Kaikoura - It took us about 5 hours to get to Kaikoura from Murchinson. On the way we had an interesting experience attempting to get past a herd of sheep that were just wandering down the main r...
