Day 30- Rotorua-Auckland-Omaha- What a surprise, when we came to leave our hostel to walk to the bus stop, the heavens once again opened! So we turned up pulling off the drowned rat look!-Sexy! To our horror we turned up to see the useless Buzz was our driver again-oh b*****! The day got even better when we found they had forgotten to put our name down on the list to be collected dammit! There was enough space though- not that that mattered as I was getting on no...

Day 26- Taupo to Rotorua- It was up early to pack as the girls in our room had fallen asleep and turned the light off in our room and packing in the dark with a torch was too much effort! After a spot of breakfast and checking out, the morning consisted of catching up on the FA cup and watched the Man City vs Man Utd game, followed by the Stoke vs Bolton game-well Scott watched all that game- I went on the internet for a wee while firstly to find out the score of...

Day 22- Wellington to Taupo- We got on the bus at 7.40am to a new bus driver who was still learning the rops.

And during talking he constantly sidetracked so he'd be mid convo talking about stockcars and then started watching 2 ...

Day 18- Kaikora-Picton- We had a little lie in and left at 8.30am where we had to hike up the road to where the bus driver was sitting despite all the spaces outside the hostel-silly man! We hopped off for our morning tea at a pretty stop at a beach where despite having said I would be good, shared some choocate cake with Sophie so that wasn't so bad! We jumped back on the us and arrived in Picton at 11.45am where we went and booked our ferry crossing for 2days...

Day 14- Queenstown-Dunedin- We woke up at 7am after getting a fairly good nights sleep for a change! We had a chinese couple move into our room which we were quite happy about as they tend not to be party animals and were in bed before us! Score! After munching quickly, we powerwalked to our pick up point. 300m down the road. Scott once again did his world strongest man impression carryin a backpack on each arm-good boy! Scott decided he didn't like the bus dri...
