We arrived in LA just before 12pm on 8th March, meaning we were living the day again as we had gone back by 18 hours! We got to our hotel (which was really nice) and set about organising the rest of our trip. We had some flights already booked and hotels had been reserved but we wanted to see if we could go home a bit earlier, money is getting tighter the closer we get to the end! But we still wanted to go to all the places we planned so we were looking to bring ...

Woah, it's warm and humid! We certainly knew we were no longer in New Zealand. We spent our first night in Nadi before we begun our Awesome Adventures Pass the next day. We thought we would have been on a tour with a similar format to what we had in New Zealand, but we're pretty much on our own, which was fine, just not what we expected.

We went through Kaikoura on the way through, and to Ohau Point where we spotted tons of seals in their natural habitat, they are so cute! We went through the Marlborough region which is famous for its wines and eventually made it to Nelson. Our first full day in N...

We were both looking forward to having our own r...

So on Monday we went and got our campervan - 'Jucy Lucy' (that's what we named her) the company we hired from are called Jucy so we didn't have to stretch our imaginations very far to get to Lucy. We set off towards the Great Ocean Road armed with maps, looking forward to our road trip! The campervan was an automatic so we didn't have to worry about gears, however we are both used to them so it was weird getting used to having no clutch! They drive on the same si...
