Hello Frinton...Goodbye NZ

We found Val and John's beautiful house quite easily and it was really nice to see a familiar Frinton face all the way out here. Their hospitality was amazing we enjoyed our own ensuite, fresh towels, lunch and dinner and breakfast laid out for us the next day-perfect! Val and I chatted late into the night and James and I managed to unpack Monique and repack our backpacks, you can probably imagine the mess we made in our room. We wish we could've enjoyed Val and John's home for longer (although I doubt they would!) but we had to drop off Monique and catch our flight to Australia. It was sad to say goodbye to Monique she had served us well over the past two months and after a slight glitch with our Australian visas we were spending the last of our New Zealand dollars and checking in my hula hoop before boarding our plane, with emergency exit seats as we were so early!
