Kia Ora! I feel I have so much to catch everyone up on since I've been in New Zealand! I started out in Christchurch arriving at my hostel quite late after flying from Fiji via Auckland. The hostel I was in was a converted old prison which had a lot of character to it, all the rooms were former cells so was definitely an experience! They offered complimentary hot water bottles, this was going to be a significant change from living on beaches in Fiji! I had...

NACULA ISLAND (Blue Lagoon Beach Resort) /NADI So back on the ferry it was, and was happily reading my book in the sun when after a few stops there was a tap on my shoulder, FIDI!! Even better she was heading to the same resort as me! A little further on the journey and there was another tap on my shoulder, Anne! She wasn't going to the same resort but it was good to have a catch up. We got off at blue lagoon and headed to our dorm, and met Jerry, Anna and El...

WAYA ISLAND (Octopus Resort) So back on the ferry I got with a girl Anne from Beach Comber and a guy called Zeke we met on the boat.

Zeke and I got off and Octopus and immediately felt like they had dropped us off...

NADI/BEACHCOMBER BULA! Sorry it's taken me so long to write an update, I've been living on desert islands where there was no phone reception let alone Wi-Fi but I wouldn't have had it any other way! I apologize in advance if this turns into a dissertation, have a lot to catch up on! So I left my hostel bright and early in Hawaii and headed to the airport for my 12pm flight to Nadi in Fiji. Upon arriving at check in we were notified that the flight was now le...

Aloha! So today is my last day in Hawaii, so thought I should fill you all in on what I've been up too before I leave! My flight from Hilo wasn't until the evening, so I had some time to kill before leaving for the airport. I bumped into a group arriving at the hostel and we all went out for some lunch, I had a Hawaiian Katsu curry (for the 2nd time I was there, don't judge..) which was awesome. We then wondered round Hilo for a while; it was really sunny whi...
