Hello! It seems very strange to be finally getting around to writing about our time in the North Island of NZ when we are melting in the heat of the USA... but we are very behind.....This is when Holly's little diary comes handy! So, heading north we hopped on the early ferry across to the North Island and Wellington. Despite being ridiculously expensive to take a campervan across ($200!) it was a beautiful journey as we left Picton and travelled through Marlb...

Kia Ora or Hello from New Zealand! Wow, what a busy month this has been travelling around this amazing and beautiful country. When we last wrote we were in Cairns and just about to fly back to Sydney. That evening we met up with our friends for some goodbye drinks in the Harbour. It was great to see them and a fair few tears were shed! The next day was spent trying to fit in as many of our favourite things as possible, such as a visit to Max Bremner Chocolate Ho...

Hello! It's crazy to think that just over 2 weeks ago now we were basking in the 30 degree heat of tropical north Queensland. Here in NZ we've had minus degree temperatures and even snow!

Having gone straight from this and the organised tour to Fraser Island, we took a couple o...

Hello from the Whitsundays!

So, just over 2 weeks ago we headed off from Sydney to start our adventure up the east coast, not really sure what to expect and with a fair bit of anxiety that as two 30 yr olds we wouldn't fit in with all the 18-21 travellers we would no doubt m...

G'day everyone! Currently we are sitting on an overnight Greyhound bus travelling from Sydney to Byron Bay, our first stop on the East Coast leg of our adventure around Oz. I thought this was a good time to catch up on our blog and our trip along the Great Ocean Road and most importantly, Holly's 30th. The previous week we both completed our last days of work and then after a manic packing and cleaning session we said goodbye to our lovely house in Maroubra. Le...
