Hey all. Hopefully this PC won't freeze and delete our journal. As for our tour, we left Christchurch and headed for a place called Kaikora, then onto Picton, and now we are in Nelson. So basically its an anti-clockwise tour of the south island (the southern discovery tour itinerary we are doing is on the Magic bus website if you fancy a peek). Not a lot to mention really, Ash pretty much summed up everything in our last journal. (apart from my bravery of ano...

Hi everyone, we  just spent an hour writing a new journal then the computer went all strange and lost all of our work! Grr.

We stayed at 9 different resorts throughout the Yasawas in 20 days, there was such variation in each place we wanted to see as much as possible. Haven't...

Hi all again, well aren't you lucky getting two updates in two days! We figured we better leave a post as we are (hopefully) heading out to the Yasawa Islands tomorrow morning and they don't even have electricity in most places, so no luck of an internet booth there. As for out photos we promised, no luck there I'm afraid as the computers just don't seem to recognise our cameras or anything, so looks like you will have to wait until we get back! The flight here w...
