Hello and welcome to our first blog for 2012! Well, we had an amazing time in the rest of the South Island which I shall now update you on! So after Christmas Day we made our way to Wanaka and then Queenstown. Both towns are really nice as they both sit on the edge of beautiful lakes. They are both touristy but Queenstown more so as it's the adrenalin capital of NZ! Our campsite near Queenstown was stunning with beautiful lake and mountain views. Whilst there w...

Hey All, Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and you're gearing up for a very Merry New Year.

Anywho, we got to Aukland on the 7th Decemebr and spent a few days checking out the city which we thought was really cool and then picked up our hire car and off we went (well, after buying all our camping stuff too!). So we spent a week camping in the Nor...

We couldn´t believe how massive and beautiful the jungle lodges were and the fo...

Hey people! Just thought I´d do a special blog after our adventure to Machu Picchu. So, after spending a few days in and around Cuzco visiting various impressive inca ruins we got on in a ´collectivo´(or minivan) and travelled the short distance to Ollantaytambo. The journey was beautiful with snow capped mountains in the distance contrasting with the yellowy brown colours of the hills we were passing through (distinctly different from Ecuador too). In Ollan...
