So, here I am. My last full day/night of my travels! Sydney was really good fun. Lucy and I did a lot of shopping and stayed with her cousin in the last week which was really nice as we got well looked after. On the last few days in Sydney we got very pampered. Lucy's aunt paid for us both to get our hair done, mine was a complete mess as I had just left it for 4 months and the sun sea and sand had taken its toll. So now I've had it done it looks much better! We...

The weather has been ...

Wandered around for a bit this morning and had fish and chips for lunch :s then a tour group was giving free rides out to their sailing boat which was moored just off the beach! So I jumped i...

I left Paul and Sonia's (temporarily, I will be back!) on Wednesday and took the Magic Bus from Christchurch city centre. The Magic Bus is one of several tours which you can choose from to take you around the sites in New Zealand. The one I am on will take me around the South Island with about 8 overnight stops. So on Wednesday we drove to Kaikoura, North from Christchurch. The drive was beautiful, lots of snow covered mountains and rugged beaches! Before arrivi...
