Day 164 and Helen Laura and Luke were all up by 7am and getting ready as their tour started well before ours. Me and Burns were still in bed as they drove to their drop off. Me and Burns then went to our tour centre and napped for 2 hours as our tour didnt start till 11am. At 11am we were told our tour was delayed as 4 people were late so the tour company promised us free photos afterwards. Our guide was called Jono and the other 4 people in our group were 4 ...

Day 160 and we woke early and it was friggin freezing, and we all had to put socks and trousers on. After a round of hot drinks (Luke is becoming quite the tea drinker, and from knowing him for 5 years and the start of Uni, I never thought I'd see the day he would offer to make a round of drinks). We drove 45 mins to Rotorua and as soon as we got there we could smell rotten Egg. This is because the area is full of hot springs and Geysers which smell like bag eg...

Day 156 and after a night of constant rain we woke to blue sky and sunshine to our amazement. Our milk had gone werid, we think the fridge isnt the best!

There wasnt a lot to do apart from see New Zealands oldest stone and wooden house, go on a pointless walk and g...

Day 152 and we were up and checked out by 10 and got a taxi to the airport where we were headed to collect our home for the next 63 days. Thanks to our good friend Nikki, we were able to get a good deal on a campervan for the 5 of us for our entire time in New Zealand. We arrived at the Apollo car centre at 10, where it was mega busy. Luke had done some washing in the morning but no dried it so he left his clothes on his bag and the tarmac outside to dry. Thi...

Day 147 and we all were up by 930 realising we had to leave and check out by 10. We put all our clothes from the tour in the wash as they were filthy. Once checked out we walked to town as we had several hours to kill before our fligh to Cairns. It was still mega hot. We went to the Rock Tours office where we told them how good it as and how well Greg did with us. We met up with a couple of the Dutch people and found out they were waiting to go on a 21 hour ...
