Pretty boring day being hungover and waiting for our ferry to the South Island where we have an awful shock! With our campervan we get reduced rates on the ferry which is the main reason we chose the company thinking the price would be $210 which is still extortionant for the stupid ferry anyway! But when we get there we are told that is the price for the car and it would be another $75 per person! I nearly had a heart attack! So after a long and disappointing fe...

Did the rest of the drive pretty quick and had a chance to look round the city, nothing special! It's definitely getting colder! We find out another one of our friends from cairns is here for the weekend so we go to her hostel steal showers and wifi and head out for dinner and drinks later Carrie comes to meet us after work and we have a lovely reunion!

Although the spot is not signed posted there's just a vague map at the start of the beach oh and did I mention it's freezing! Like can't even take out shoes off cold it feels like walking on snow instead of sand! Obviously being us we can't find it, argue over where th...
