Melbourne: We decided to spend a few days in Melbourne and meet up with some of our friends from school who worked out there. Luckily they let us stay with them as they had a spare room which meant me and Laura saved a few pennies. Melbourne is different from the other cities we've visited and has a very european feel, buildings, food etc. We visited most of the city sites and also went down to St Kilda for the day. We also went out to watch the FA Cup final on...

In total we spent a couple of days at the Gold Coast. The first day we went with the family and had a BBQ on the beach around Surfers Paradise, on route we stopped off at Mount Tambourine to see some waterfalls. The weather had been pretty poor the days before but we couldn't let that stop us. The day turned out great though.

We started by going to Kaikoura to do some whale watching but unfortunately we encountered our second day of rain in 3.5 months and it was cancelled. So we continued south and went to Franz-Josef glacier where we did a glacier hike for the day, it was awesome and warmer than you'd think. We then made our way to Queenstown to begin our thrill seeking adventures! First came the 12,000ft skydive ove...
