So…as I left off last time we were enjoying our last night out as a big group in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. We had to be up super early the next day to catch the ferry to the South Island, only 6 of us from our original coach were continuing on to the South Island, the rest were staying in Wellington for a few days. It felt strange getting on a coach with 30 strangers again after having bonded so well with people on our original coach, but we d...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and had a great Christmas. I had a fun (hot!!) Christmas in Melbourne - but I shall save that for another blog post!!

It was really interesting to learn about how the tunnels were made and used ...

My friend Mark arrived in Hanoi on the 1st of October and we spent the afternoon and next day exploring the city, we visited the temple on the lake and ate lots of yummy food in the Old Quarter of the city. We enjoyed exploring the rambling streets of the Old Quarter and we somehow manag...
