We had to get up at 9am to pack our stuff to check out. As soon as I woke up I could feel my whole body aching. The bruises were worse and my muscles were so sore! But I still had to get up and get ready. We had to check out at 10am and our bus wasn't due until 5.30pm, so we had a lot of time to do nothing! Most of the time I spent it reading, writing postcards, in my diary (which needed catching up) and even watched a movie. It was raining pretty bad as well, w...

Sorry about not having a blog posted last night, when I got home, almost as soon as I lay down, I fell asleep. I'll fill you in on 'Haggas Honking Holes' glow worm adventure we did! The day started like any other boring, miserable day. It was a bit foggy, and lightly raining. After we had breakfast, we watched the movie 'Juno' while we were at 'Juno Hall'. Hilarious, right? After that was done, we still had a few hours until we had to go to the 'Waitomo Adventur...

Today, we got to Waitomo. It is one of the better places we wanted to go on this trip, simply for the Glow-worm caves! We are staying at a backpackers place again, but on a cute little farm. They have goats, sheep, and a deer. It's adorable! When we got here, we noticed how cold it was! And in the room more then anywhere, so we have had the windows locked and heater on all day! Mind you, the heater barely works. Kristy decided to take me on a 'photography' walk,...

So, what did you do from 8.30am to 5.15pm? So that's 8hours and 45mins. Worked? Slept? Watched a movie or 5? Seen friends? Well I, got to spend it on a bus! But we did get the luxury of stopping for a 20min break at Auckland. Suddenly that bottle of water and large coffee isn't seeming like a good idea! I'm lucky that I enjoy bus rides, so most of the time I just spent it looking out the window and daydreaming about anything and everything, after all, I have 8 h...

Today's forecast was rain. Lucky though, it didn't predict it right! It was a fabulous hot day, and we made the most of it. We went out for a walk into town in the morning, and around to the second beach, but it was pretty boring, so we went home. It was a lot more boring back at the room. So I found the walking track guide, and thought it was a good idea to do a nature trail. Out of all 4, we choose the one that only went for 30mins each way, and not 2 and a ha...
