Hi All Quick note to let everyone know I got from Christchurch to Sydney no hassle but not had so much luck getting to Bangkok! Boarded the plane, sat there for an hour and then we had to get back off due to wiring problems! They have now had to change planes and I have been delayed 4 hours! Lovely! Luckily I ran into Tiz who was on my New Zealand tour and is spookily on the same flight over to Thailand! So have some company! Also on the bright side I got a a $15...

Doubtful Sounds Cruise First bit of advice do not do Doubtful Sounds with a hangover or pack your overnight cruise bag for Doubtful Sounds when drunk! We got on the bus at 9am Nick our driver stopped off so the people who had not managed breakfast could get some food - there was a fair few of us and I was not the only one still drunk! I guilt tripped Uie into buying me breakfast which consisted of a feta cheese and spinach roll - strange choice of breakfast - I...
