Back on the bus again, getting a bit bored of always travelling even if it is only short journeys! The problem wih Magic is heading into winter season, you have to stick to the bus timetable and some days buses don't run so you have to plan your trip so you don't end up stuck somewhere!  Only a 2 hour drive today we are going back to Taupo, it was so beautiful when we went we wanted to see more but before we didn't have the time but this time we have two full da...

Today we start our random decision back up north and away from our flight destination sure that we will work something out in the long run! We are heading to a place called Napier, it is on the East coast and has the second highest amount of sunshine in all of NZ! So should make for a cool beach resort. A while ago there was a massive earthquake and it pretty much destroyed the whole town. So when the town was rebuilt it was the period known as Art Deco, this re...

After doing 4 days of free walking activities we are ready to splash out on a wicked tour. (little did we know that actually on this day we would be spending a whole weeks budget in a day!!) We are taking a little detour to the Waitomo caves before heading on to Taupo. Along the route...

So our journey begins, first stop panoramic views of Auckland, we could see for miles. In my left eye I could see high rise buildings with the height of the Sky Tower, towering over the city and with the right I could see miles and miles of green land, mountains and trees. We took our touristy pictures with our new image, a symmetrical hair and pins in my neck! We jumped back onto the bus and headed to Hobbitin, where they kept the set of the Shire ready to fil...
