We got the bus from L.A to Las Vegas and it wasn't too bad. It only took us about four and a half hours and that's not bad compared to some of the long haul trips we have endured!We weren't sure what we would think of Vegas but when we get there we loved it! Everything is so big and bright and all the hotels are trying to out do each other! We strayed in a hotel called Tropicana that was on the main strip. The weather was fantastic too, so we couldn't ask for mor...

We arrived in L.A from Fiji on the 27th May 2008. There is about a 16 hour time difference between Fiji and Los Angeles, so to say the least our body clocks were all over the place.

Auckland - We arrived in New Zealand on 22 April 2008. We had decided the easiest way to see New Zealand was by a bus called the Magic Bus.

All we had to do was sit back and relax!Auckland is known as the city of the sails and you can understand why when you're near the harbour. Auckland is just like any other ci...

Nelson - First stop from the ferry was Nelson, apparently it's knows as the sunshine coast as it officiallys receives the most hours of sunshine of anywhere in New Zealand. It was sunny when we got there but it was freezing! We only stayed here for one night as it was only a small town and we were itching to move on and see the rest of the South Island. Greymouth - Is on the west coast, it's meant to be the largest town on the west coast. We thought it was like ...
