BULA BULA So finally we had some time to do NOTHING! I dont think you realise how tiring this travelling lark really is. Up at the crack of dawn, packing, un-packing re-packing, cheking in, checking out, sleeping on busses. Lifting and carrying my rucksack is like a gym work out on its own! So Fiji was bliss, getting up only to eat and lay on the beach and paddle in the sea and moving only to reaply sun lotion and change position! The moment we stepped off the ...

Ok so since the Sky dive over two weeks ago we have travelled almost the whole length of NZ (well the main parts anyway) We made our way from Taupo to Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, took a ride up the tram and that was as much of Wellington as we could bear! Then we crossed on the ferry to Picton and then caught our Magic bus on to Nelson with Louisa who we'd met on the Magic bus in Auckland. Anyway Nelson is said to be the sunniest place in NZ and lucki...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK! Ok so have I got all of your attention?? TODAY I JUMPED OUT OF A PLANE! ARGH! AT 15,000 FT IT WAS SO FUN! I cant believe I done it!

We travelled down from Rotorua to Taupo yesterday planning to do our jump today but were convinced by our driver to do the dive as we arrived as the weather was going...

So we finally left Oz after three whole months travelling the East Coast and partying and working in Sydney. But we couldn't leave before having a surf lesson and we couldn't have picked a better day for it. We had beautiful sunshine and non-scary waves! The lesson was 2 hours long and we only had a small group of four which made it easier to get help from our instructor, Lawrence. First things first we got into our wetsuits and it was down to the shore to do ...

So its now coming to our last week in Sydney and in Australia! We leave for Aukland next friday 28th and so its back to the backpacker life of living in crummy dorms and being woken up at the crack of dawn! Ah well, we can be just as loud when we want to be! Last weekend I went snowboarding in the snowy Valley of Thredbo, which was so much fun. I made some new friends there, used muscles I never knew I had and covered myself in a few nice bruises! I was picked ...
