Happy New Year! Well we have had a pretty busy 2 weeks in Sydney and after New Zealand it was a bit of a shock to the system to find oursleves in such a big bustling city again (the population of sydney is the same as the entire population of NZ!) However we love Sydney, its a really beautiful city, very clean with lots of gorgeous beaches, harbours and of course the stunning opera house. Oh and the shopping is pretty good too!

We also got our first taster of Maori culture at the Auckland museum including a cultural performance where they performed traditional songs and dances and demonstrated...

We spent our first 2 nights on the mainland in the Nadi Bay resort hostel which felt more like a hotel and had 2 swimming pools - luxury!
