We have been driving around New Zealand for almost a week now and we are absolutely loving it. What a beautiful country. We started off by heading to a city called Dunedin. It is known for its cafes and its proximity to a beautiful area called the Otago Peninsula. On our first day in the area we went on an amazing walk, although it also ended up being quite tough. We went all along a beautiful beach where LP said there was a chance of seeing penguins. As we wer...

We have just arrived in Christchurch, New Zealand after three great days in Sydney. It's snowing here and very cold but we are prepared for it so it's not too bad. We're thinking our camper van's going to absolutely freezing though! We pick it up in two days.

We had a long journey to get here though. About seven hours in total. Shortly after arri...

It]s a massive city but so well organised that you]d never know that 12 million people live here. We]ve spent loads of time just wandering round and have gone up the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and seen great views over Tokyo. We have also eaten loads of sushi, ramen and tempura and have seen loads of amazing buildings. We ...
