We arrived in Sydney this afternoon. We had a 3 hour journey from Auckland which went pretty fast. Forgot to mention that I went windsurfing in Auckland which was a great experience! It was hard work but I managed to windsurf out turn and windsurf back! I was dead impressed... Ached the next day though! Sydney so far is amazing as we were flying in you could just see the beautiful beaches and blue sea. It really is gorgeous here. We are staying in King...

We have been in Auckland for a few days now. We headed 2 hours south to see the glow worms which was great. There were loads of them. We headed over 40metre's underground walking through these caves and then we got on a boat where all of the glow worms were. Penny's boyfriend, Soren, took the day off work for us which was really good of him and he drove us there. We had lunch in a tiny town - There was like one street you could tell it was a bit like Coronation S...

We arrived in New Zealand yesterday at 5pm local time. Penny was waiting for us at the airport and drove us to her boyfriends house which is to be our home for the next week.

We did drink Kava (Fijian local drink that makes your mouth go numb if you have the strong stuff - Its made from water and root so its like drinking muddy water!) Anyway we drank Kava at 11.30 through til 2.30 o...

We decided to leave Mango Bay and head to an island. Brett, the owner of Mango recommened Nananu Island Lodge. The island Nananu was north of Fiji so we had to leave Mango Bay at about 10.30, caught there shuttle bus to Nadi which took a couple of hours. We then caught a local bus to Lauoka which took 45 minutes only to change buses to go to Raki Raki. That journey took just over 2 hours 15minutes. We had travelled a full 180 degrees around the island. Our boat w...
