We decided to again do the scenic route down South through a place called the Catlins, to get to the most Southern most city called Invercargill. The scenery again was really good and when you're driving you often don't see a car for age's just lots of sheep! We had arranged to stay in a hostel when we got to Invercargill but when we arrived I found out Ady had booked us into a nice hotel for my birthday. The hotel was great and even had a cinema room where you c...

We had arranged to meet up with Sam and Jo who we met on the night train in Vietnam. They live in Dunedin and kindly offered to put us up while we were visiting. When we arrived in Dunedin after our long journey we arranged to meet up with Jo's son Jesse. We went to his flat first to meet him and also to look at the car he had for sale.

We also jumped ahead 2 hours and had a 3 hour wait in the airport and a 3 hour flight to Christ...

We asked if we could book for the next...

So we set off on our journey in search of the Orang-utans on Indonesia. We had stayed in a place called Kota Bhuru for 1 night after the Perhentian islands in the worst guesthouse yet called the Travellers Inn or the Travellers grim as we learnt to call it! It was just like a prison cell with brown damp stains all over the walls and a gated window at the side. The bathroom was a shared one with a hole in the floor with a sink outside next to a bowl of small turtl...
