We arrived in LA and took the shuttle to our hostel. We went out that afternoon and walked along Hollywood Boulevard. Initially I was really unimpresed as it seemed really run down and not as glamorous as expected. However, we continued walking until we reached the Avenue of Stars which we studied hoping to spot famous names! We strolled along the boulevard soaking up the cheesy but fun atmosphere, taking pictures of everything and watching the many street perfor...

We flew out of Auckland in the morning and arrived at Nadi airport during the late afternoon where it was raining. We collected our vouchers and made use of our free transfer to Nomads Nadi Bay resort, which was a lovely resort style hostel come hotel.

We had a really long and boring drive to Christchurch which gave us some time to catch up on some well deserved sleep! We arrived in Christchurch late that afternoon and took a walk around town, bought some ingredients to make fajitas and watched a Maori choir singing in the square before heading back for some yummy food! Again we left early the following mornin...

That evening we went to Red Rock to watch NZ play Australia in the Three Nations Rugby Final I was so cl...
