Greetings. So, unbelievably our time in New Zealand is now nearly over. Strangely I am typing this blog from the same internet cafe back in Taupo as I did the last blog from, but in that 3 or so weeks, Lee and I have travelled a further 2500kms or so! After we left Taupo in the North island last time, we headed down to Wellington for a day and a half, purposely not spending too long there on the way out, as we wanted to spend a bit more time exploring it on our ...

Hi from Melbourne, Victoria. Lee and I are currently in the capital city of Victoria, having crossed the border from New South Wales a week ago. Our journey since leaving Byron Bay was running nice and smoothly, but in the last few days has been fairly eventful, but I'll come back to that. Once we left Byron Bay in NSW we continued down the east coast towards Sydney, as we had to stop there for an afternoon to meet up with a lady who we will be staying for the...
