Hiya Peps I am now on last full day of my tour of New Zealand with Connections. I am currently staying at the Bay of Island, which is really pretty and relaxing - although not as many golden beaches as I thought. The weather is so much warmer here than the rest of the country, but still a bit over cast (although started with a sunny day). I have just been on a Dolphin watch tour - and saw a few bottlenose dolphins and teh different islands which up the bay. In a...

We initally stopped a very small t...

Hi everyone Today is my last day in Christchurch before starting my tour around New Zealand. I had a terrible sleep last night, however I still went to the Gondola as planned. The view from there were amazing. You could see all across Christchurch and the Canturbury planes. There were even mountains in the background covered in snow.
