Up bright and early before the alarm which always bugs me, especially when we are in these super comfy beds with big fluffy duvets. Anyhow, time to get ready for Waiheke Winery Island Day! Woohoo! Our last full day in New Zealand, where has the time gone? Time to give it a good damn send off and hold the tradition we seem to have going... get drunk on the day before you have to fly to make that flight travel process a little more harder for yourself... We joi...

Our final night in a New Zealand hostel! It wasn’t so bad, we had to tip toe around a little this morning to get ready but we were good to go for the last kiwi bus at 8.50am. My back is bloody sore today and our thighs are aching too. Need to try and keep moving and stretch a lot today on that bus, can’t imagine it’s going to be full. The bus wasn’t a kiwi bus it was a random coach but with a kiwi experience driver and just as we expected the bus was qu...

Yuk! 4.45am wake up call was disgusting, we did however manage to not make any noise, it was so cold in the common area I think because they have plastic roof and it has holes in the sides. Brrrr! Quite a few people from our hostel doing the crossing and the bus was full also.

How last night I didn’t strangle that man I do. not. know. He was horrendous! Then at 6am this morning he got up after he had been coffing his guts up for about an hour to then come back into bed and sighed loudly and yawned loudly like a child. Are you f***ing serious?! Shut. Up. Then he would snore. Then coff. Oh... my.... god.... what an absolute ass hole. 7am we pulled ourselves out of bed and got up to get ready, you know we put our stuff out ready the n...

Finally a good sleep, we slept long last night! It must have been the wine that didn’t wake us up until 8am this morning. Lovely having a late pick up at 11am it meant that we didn’t have to rush around! We walked over to the bus station with our bags after Ellie managed to zip here up. The mornings entertainment as always is watching her try to do that bag up haha. She had the munchies today, I knew because she hadn’t stopped talking about pies and cr...
