I'm home - and this is my last entry ever :( Luckily the second flight went really quickly and before I knew it I was waiting for my backpack at the carousel in Heathrow. It was so surreal as I don't think it had really hit me that I was home. Walking into arrivals I could spot my mum a mile off because she was wearing a bright orange top, and running towards me whilst crying. I was still in a bit of a daze for most of the day - it definitely didn't feel real f...

I've made it to Hong Kong - I'm halfway home! I'm only really writing this so I can have another country on my blog so there's not a lot to say really. Vicky and I had a nice hangover brekkie before we had to say our goodbyes and I headed for the airport. We have been together 24/7 since January so it was very sad waving goodbye from the bus! I am flying with Cathay Pacific - I am so far very impressed with the food, service and film selection. I watched films ...

Vicky and I had to wait for about four hours for our flight to Auckland which was soooo boring, so we eventually arrived at our hostel at around 6pm. We got ready and had a couple of glasses of wine at the surprisingly nice hostel bar, before going next door to buy some vodka which we s...

It's a shame because I've heard that Christchurch is a really nice place. After lunch we walked for about half an hour to the Westfield shopping centre (yes, the same chain as the Shepherd's Bush one). We booked some cinema tickets to see 'Just ...

We had a lazy morning in Tekapo, using the internet and stuff (the power had returned). After lunch Hannah drove us to a place called Geraldine which is halfway to Chrostchurch. There's not a lot going on Geraldine, so we just found a nice cafe where I had cup of tea and we read the papers. After some rice for dinner we spent the evening watching crime programmes on tv. Sorry foe these boring entries, our sightseeing has slowed to a halt as we have seen most of...
