We haven't done half as much interesting stuff in the last week or so as in the previous blog but we're gonna tell you all anyway! If you bore easily, find something else to do now! So since the skydive we've held back the spending a little, though we've still done a few pretty cool things. The day after the dive we just chilled out, we were both on a bit of a come down from the high of it possibly. We left for Queenstown the day after that having done what we ca...

This entry will be a bit more like it after the last frustrating addition! We have come to love this country and the freedom we have gained from getting our lovely car which we have named sunny. After leaving Kaikoura we left for sunnier realms northwards to the city of Nelson. The drive was sweet, even sweeter that we weren't on a bus full of drunken 18 yr olds but we could take wee detours and stop at opportune moments to take snaps. When we got to Nelson w...

We'd opted for another overnight journey to Sydney, so it was 13 hours on the coach from 8pm Friday night to 9am Saturday morning. We slept intermittently, waking around 8.30 on the approach to Sydney. As we were look...

So, over two weeks since our last blog for computer reasons really, so bit of catching up to do. Since our last blog we've been through 4 days each in Brisbane, Surfer's Paradise and Byron Bay and also arrived in Sydney for a few days, but we'll leave Sydney for the next blog. We had to spend our first full day in Brisbane searching for a new bag for Chris as it had been broken on one side in the Uluru trip by that prat of a tour guide, and then the second o...
