Off to the island of Yanuca today for the island trip! As we were leaving I asked one of the guides if there would be a chance to do any surfing, which it turned out we would! First stop for the day was sport fishing which was pretty unsucessful so it was on to the snorkelling! The driver said that there would be some pretty good waves near the snorkelling spot so I could go surfing! The reef was called Frigates and it was about 40 mins out to see in the middle ...

Finally another country and a relaxing one at that! We left 30mins late from Auckland which was no biggy but had to turn around when the captain comes over the tannoy and says 'Ladies and Gentlemen i'm afraid we are going to have to turn around and land at Auckland as the front door is not closed properly!'

Back to Auckland again and the end of the Kiwi Experience! If you are reading this and want to go travelling, do it with the Kiwi Experience as you are guarenteed to have a good time! It truely was the best part of the trip! Shame its come to an end but at least we will be able to chill out now and not have to be up at 6.30 every morning after a night out! That evening I met up with Deano and Sam and went out for a meal! It was nice to see Guerns again. We went ...

As I was in the shower one of the really annoying wenches from our bus decided to steal his bunk becuase it was the last one w...

Back to Wellington after a dramatic drive along the Kaikoura coastline past all the seals, whales and dolphins that it is famous for! The seafood me and Alex had for dinner last night isn't boding well in my stomach and I feel rough as! Arriving into Wellington we check into the Ferry for the 1.15 sailing and then jump on the boat! Thankfully there was some football for us to watch so it made the journey go pretty quick! I was hoping for some good weather as we ...
