Hi all!  The last week has been pretty mad, I left Kaikoura last Thursday and took the bus up to Picton.  Stayed at a lovely hostel called the Bayview Backpackers, but it was a good 40 min walk into town so I just took a walk around the Marina and chilled out.  I flew from Picton to Wellington on Friday afternoon.  The airport was literally a shed!  The plane was tiny and it was quite windy so you really felt it flying, was an amazing vie...

Was so much fun, we got picked up by a proper Neighbours bus and driven to the Neighbours shop to pay for the tour. While we were there a mystery actor was meeting us for photos and autographs and it turned out to be Alan Fletch...

I left Sydney this morning, was awake at 6am (althought I barely slept last night) and caught the 7.05 shuttle to the airport for my flight to Melbourne at 9.15.  My hostel is in the St Kilda area, it seems okay although it's a lot colder here than Sydney!!  My room at the hostel is freezing!I haven't been up to much the past few days, just chilling out before a busy two weeks.  Saturday night we went down the pub and watched the Liverpool ...
