Right as this moment (of writing, not when you are reading) I am feeling really quite nauseous and seasick. Oh, I might mention that I'm on the ferry going to the South Island of New Zealand. Some people get Narnia and New Zealand confused. But I can assure you, I have travelled a little bit further than just the back of my wardrobe. For anyone wondering, I am talking about a friend I have called Morgan. He insists that I'm in Narnia, and wants to know if I have...

It's time to go and explore Wellington! It's 9.20am, and we were excited and ready to see what New Zealand's Capital has to offer! Oh, but nothing's open?! We woke up early for nothing? It's not Sunday is it? But no, even on a Thursday, nothing opens here until 10am, or later! It's the city that DOES sleep!

Kristy says she wasn't hungover, but a headache that lasts all day after a night out isn't a coincidence! As little as she claims it to be! Oh, and I mention last night was Monday? But apart from that, the day was pretty lame. We got up and I needed to shower...

Today was our first day in Taupo. Taupo is quite a big city, and has a massive lake in the middle of the city, which is almost outside of our hostel. It was raining when we woke up, actually that's a lie, the rain woke us up. It was raining that heavy I thought the roof was going to cave in! So we got up, and dressed. We went for a look around the hostel, and decided it was time to bite the bullet and go outside for a walk to get some groceries. And of course ...
