Well, that's it all over! This morning I flew from London Luton to Edinburgh after spending a few days with relatives in England. It was really good to see everyone again, especially little cousins who seem so much older than when I left! Arriving in Edinburgh, I had a stupid grin on my face and was glad to be back in Scotland. My mum and dad were there waiting for me when I came out (steve is still on holiday) and my mum practically attacked me with hugs! I'm h...

The centre has rescued Little Blue Penguins from the wild and looks after them. It was awesome watching them swimming around and stuff. That night I wen...

Well that's our wee roadtrip over! From Queenstown we drove on up to my favourite town in New Zealand - Wanaka! It's adorable, the town is right on the lake front and surrounded by the Mt Aspiring range of snow-capped mountains - I love it there! We checked in to the Purple Cow backpackers and in true 'Clare, Clare and Andrew' style, went out for coffee. That evening we went to the Paradiso cinema to lie on the comfy sofas and watch 'The Bucket List' - it was a r...
