So the second installment of our 41 hour day began with a walk around Waikiki town, where we were immediately hit by how American eveything was.? Everyhwere we walked there were fast food restaurants and ABC stores.? We made it down to the Hilton Hawaiian Villiage, where?Ed and I watched the sunset and were treated to a?Polynesian dancing and fireworks show.? Being backpackers, I think we musthave looked a little out of place, as a nice American couple called the...

We said our goodbyes to Jenni and Leeann and took the ferry back to Nadi, with Chad, Tuks, Bill, Shaun and Monika...got back to our hostel and went straight back out to catch a ferry to Walu Beach, which was in the Mamanucas.?

With the taste of Fergburgers still fresh in our mouths and 3hrs sleep later, we departed for Dunedin...as you can imagine, not much was made of the day apart from catching up with sleep... The following day we headed to Lake takepo...on the way we stopped off at a few sights, including Baldwin Street, with its amazing gradient, which made it the steepest street in the world...a shocker to climb. Then we made our way down to the Moreaki Boulders, which were a se...
