New Zealand
We are currently in Queenstown, a beautiful upmarket ski style resort by a lake nestled in lord of the rings-esque mountains. A lot to report since Nelson. On our way to Westport (our next sto…

Annas Fiji Photos
Anna's Skydive Lake Taupo
After seven months of working and planning, we are finally off on our travels around the world. Hopefully we'll have lots of exciting stories to report back and photos to make all of you back at home jealous
We start off on the 14th April flying off to LA and connecting to Fiji. My guess is this first (21 HOUR!) flight will be a little emotional, leaving our family, friends and boyfriends behind...so probably order a nice bottle of BA wine to comfort us as we fly away. The next two weeks will be spent hopping from white sandy island to island, getting tanned and partying. Not a bad life really.
After Fiji we go to New Zealand for a couple of weeks and go on the Zephyr Kiwi Experience bus from Auckland to Christchurch. Hopefully by the time we reach the mountainous southern part we will have built up the nerve to jump out of plane or off a bridge...
From Christchurch we fly to Sydney and meet Rachel . We'll travel up the east coast on the Oz Experience bus, stopping off at a surf camp and a cattle ranch where we'll round up cows using a quadbike...should be some good photos from that!
Next we fly to Singapore and travel up though Kuala Lumpur to Thailand and finally Ko Phangan for the Full Moon Party on th 29th June - this will be the biggest, craziest party we've ever been to. Then we're going to just travel around a bit and finish off in Bangkok.
We end our travels in Jaipur in India. Here we're doing a volunteer scheme with i-to-i . Basically doing drama workshops with children from the lowest income families and teaching them English....so perfect for me and El! After two weeks we'll hopefully have worked out what we want to do next and then travel around for 2/3 weeks.
