We slept surprisingly well and slept in too! Oops! We got sorted and were on our way! We had heard sirens while at the campsite and thought it was odd in such a remote part of the country! We had only just got past the first town and we soon realised what they were for. There had been a serious accident and the road had been closed for at least 1 hour and a half. We had the option of going back to the town but decided to sit in the queue to save queuing later. We...

We were up early and packed up ready to go and collect Newt the spaceship, our home and transport for the next 2 weeks! We had to catch the bus into town and catch a train out to the suburbs where the depot was! She is very beautiful and has a few snazy features..including a dvd player! She's not as spacious as Talula was and cooking certainly wont be as easy but we will manage, tis only 2 weeks after all! From the depot we popped back to the hostel to collect ou...

Quite scary and makes the one that we felt in Sheffield seem like nothing! We saw various artefacts from Fiji which was cool as we could relate to them! We also learned about t...

We had a very long lay in! We were shattered anyway but also fed up of all the early mornings in Fiji! Our hostel is very homely, including our room, so we couldn't not sleep in! We caught the bus into town as we're staying in a residential area about 10mins bus ride away! As it was Sunday we knew that there wouldn't be much going on and that if the shops were open, they would only be open until lunch. We mooched down the main shopping street and changed money ...

Not much to report today! We both got eaten alive by the mozzies last night so are covered in bites! We shared a taxi to the airport with someone in our room and were greated with massive queues, and no air con, just fans! It was like an oven! The airport was quite small and there seemed to be queues for everything! We had a rubbish flight as the entertainment system was broken! We arrived in Auckland to some lovely sunny weather! We caught the airport bus to th...
