LA Arriving in LA there were massive queues, we got a pic taken and finger prints at customs. We were waiting in the queue to get out of customs when a security guard checks our documents and points us towards the baggage inspection area, we were thinking 'hell no' we had heard about this at LA, it is supposed to be pain staking. But when we walked over there was no personnel there so we just walked out the exit unsure whether we were supposed to do that or we...

Ahhh Fiji......Fiji Fiji Fiji........ Famous first words by ourselves on arriving in Fiji. I knew i was going to like Fiji when the customs officals stamped us through within 5 seconds (amazing compared to Oz & NZ!!). Walking into the unair-conditioned airport we got a bus with a few others to Nomads Sky Lodge in Nadi (pronounced Nandi) which later became our home.

We left Queenstown around midday of 20 June (after a heavy one!) to make it to Christchurch for the All Blacks, England rugby match on the 21st.

The 21st was mostly spent buying merchandise and thinking up ways to wind up the All Black supporters at the match although we did get to a beach near the city. Before the game we had a few drinks in the hos...

We had to get up early for our flight from melbourne to christchurch as our flight departed at 08.30. An uneventful flight was followed by an uneventful couple of days in christchurch.

We jetboated here as it is much cheaper to do it there then in queenstown and the ride is 3 ...

Sydney at 8.00 when we arrived was cold! We got ourselves to Kings Cross where most the backpacker accomodation is and stopped at the first place. That day we went down to the harbour booked our bridge climb and saw the Opera House. The following day we went to book our 'wicked campervan' at the depot which is a little way out of the city centre, then once having sorted that out we took a ferry from near the opera house to manly point where we had really good vie...
