For my last blog I thought it'd be fun to make a list of things I've learnt in the past 2 months of travelling. I'll probably think of more on my flight so I'll keep editing this post when I come up with new ones! Things I've learnt from travelling: Don't lose your passport Free wifi is never to be taken for granted $30 is a lot to pay for a boiled egg You'll never feel more invincible than when you are free-falling out of a plane You will meet some of th...

I can't believe I'm writing my last blog before I go home tomorrow! With the amount I've done in 2 months, it feels like I've been gone for a really long time, so I can't wait to get home and breathe! After a few drinks last night it was another quiet day on the bus, getting us to Auckland at 3pm. This meant we could check into the hotel straight away, which we'd been looking forward to for the entire month in NZ. Arriving in the lobby we felt embarrassingly un...

There isn't much to blog about today. And when I say there isn't much, I mean there's nothing. We were on the bus from 8am until 2.30pm, with one stop for a quick cup of tea.

We have no idea what to do for the rest of the day but we've decided to go for some drinks la...

Once we finally got off the ferry yesterday I definitely was not feeling 100%. After checking in quite quickly due to our small bus, we had our free dinner at the hostel. Sadly, this made me feel even more sick and David had to help me finish my 'sausages' and rice. We went for a walk around to see if I felt better, picking up some ice cream for my dinner on the way. Not the healthiest but definitely made me feel better! Then whilst David went to watch some exc...

Today has been far too much travelling and hold ups. First we had to wait half an hour for someone to finish their dolphin swim (we did get to see a baby seal while we waited which half made up for it!), then we had to stop for someone to get money out of an ATM, then we had multiple roadworks to drive through. So by the time we got to the ferry, we just wanted to get on and arrive in Wellington as quickly as possible. I've also had the added excitement of ...
