Amazing first few days in NZ. Everyone on the kiwi bus is fun and friendly, and we've made lots of friends already. We've done so much that it feels like we've been here for ages! Day 1 we arrived in Auckland. Me and Low went for a walk around the area in the afternoon, then had a nice meal and early night ready to hop on the kiwi bus in the morning. Day 2 we headed to Hot Water Beach where we stayed the night, stopping on the way for a 30 minute walk over to the...

A walk through the local park takes you to the bottom of the Petronas Towers where there are beautiful dancing fountain displays. After watching these for a few minutes we headed in for a little walk around the Suria shopping mall, where they've put up festi...

Well the day has finally arrived! We've made it to the airport on time, are all checked in, and can now relax. There's no going back now!! We'd just like to say a massive thank you to all our friends and family for all the cards, presents, and well wishes. The support we've received has been incredible, and I know you're all just as excited as we are for us to be going on this adventure. We promise to be safe and look after each other. Will let you all know when ...
