In Thailand! So so so hot, a huge contrast to New Zealand and the past 2 months or so! Got up at silly o'clock - 2am! I didn't sleep well at all due to worrying about oversleeping. Got picked up and taken to the airport. Checked in then just relaxed and used the wifi before boarding the plane to Sydney. There were children around me! Next to me, in front of me and behind me. The girl next to me was so fidgety, she couldn't keep still! And the girl in front of...

Woke up in time to FaceTime my mum and others. The connection was so rubbish though, it didn't work! And it's New Zealand, you'd have thought it would be better than South America but no lol! Went out instead and bought last minute essentials for Thailand - suncream and so on. Went back to the apartment and decided what to post home. Ended up posting home a huge parcel with all my winter clothes. It was ridiculously expensive but worth it for all the extra spa...

Woke up early - my body is definitely used to early mornings! Went to the hairdressers as I needed a tidy up. I really should have left it as I have the worst haircut ever!

I was hoping to go up the sky tower but it was raining so I postponed it to tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be better then. Went shopping inst...

In Auckland, my last destination in New Zealand! Left straight after breakfast and headed to Whangarei Falls where we went for a short walk to see the falls. Arrived in Auckland at lunchtime. Said goodbye to everyone, it was weird after being with them for the past 17 days. But a new adventure begins soon! Checked in my apartment. Yes, I'm staying in this lush apartment for the next three nights as a treat to myself as it was on special offer. It's so nice! I ...

A free day today! Was hoping that the rain would stay away - in the morning it did. Decided to explore Paihia today. Had breakfast before heading out. I was contemplating whether to take my coat or not as it was warm outside. Ended up taking it with me and I'm glad I did! Walked over to Waitangi and decided to go for a walk to the waterfalls. It was 5k each way so ended up walking 10k which was nice. But it poured with rain halfway through! So I was very glad I...
