I left Queenstown quite early on a bus with a not so welcoming driver. First of all he just stared at my ticket when I held it out to him as I was getting on the bus. He looked at it as though he had never seen one before. He never took it, he just said one word ... name? I told him it and then he pointed for me to sit down. I sat down and thought how good Josh had been he was always welcoming and friendly, lively and funny on the microphone, not like this one. A...

I caught the Kiwi bus in Te Anau at 10:30am to go to Milford Sound. The driver explained that actually it isnt a sound it is a fiord.

We were all feeling tired after the night in the car but we still went out for some goodbye drinks in Altitude bar. The next night was Mi...

We were ready at about 9am. Aaron was driving the boys car and Michelle was driving the girls car. We set off on our 4 hour drive to Dunedin. We stopped a few times on the way to go to the toilet or rather Emily did. buy snacks and a CD so we could have music. The closer we got to Dunedin the worse the weather got. When we got there we went to the stadium to pick up the tickets and then went to find somewhere to park. It was $7 for 10 hours which meant it would r...
