Other than having a lot of fun in Wanaka we took our first little camping trip to Dunedin. We hit the road straight after work, passing through a few tiny (old school) towns on the way to the 'big city'. We drove into Dunedin and experienced our first lot of traffic in a long time. First impressions reminded us of Southampton.. but we soon arrived at a peaceful campsite right on the beach. After putting up the tent for the first time (with no domestics!) we wen...

Since the last blog I have got myself a job at a hotel yey!! Samuel is still loving his job and has come back having caught the sun a few times as the weather is getting nicer. We have been on a few little road trips around Wanaka... It's a beautiful drive wherever you go! We also did our first climb in the area... Mount Ion. It's the smallest mountain and I must admit I struggled a little which is a bit worrying!! Was a nice walk though and we got a beautiful v...

We haven't done a blog in a while so thought I'd update you all on our time in Wanaka...

Luckily we were staying just off a road which I can only describe as being similar to Albert Road, with lots of cheap vintage shops. After a bit of shopping we decided it was time for a pub stop to celebrate the beginning of our next adventure :) We had been told about how good the fish and chips are ...

Our stop off in Singapore was short but sweet! We got checked into our hostel about 12pm and decided to have a little sit down on the rooftop before we went out exploring. We hadn't been sat down 15mins when the torrential rain started! This was a bummer, but not uncommon for Singapore. We got chatting to a nice English couple too, Emma and YET ANOTHER Sam haha. Eventually the rain eased off about 4pm so we went to the nearest food court. These were about the on...
