We finally left Blenheim! We all agreed it was kind of a backpackers purgatory, you get sucked into it and find it very hard to leave - even though you really want to!! We were there for a total of six weeks, which we spent working to earn enough money to carry on travelling around New Zealand. Unfortunately, this 'we' is just me and Tom, Eddie is still working in Auckland and wants to do the travelling at a later date when hes got more money and can take his ti...

We arrived there on Sunday night and checked into the Big 4 Caravan park, where we had two cabins waiting f...

On monday we had an interview with the boss, Blake, who told us to come back for an introductory afternoon that same day! We shadowed a guy called Sam for a few hours in the afternoon, who showed us the ropes but also told us he had a spare room in the house hes just bought if were looking for somewhere to stay!!
