Can't believe I've only got 2 days to write about today! Must be a record. Found a cheap internet cafe in town, yay for cheap internet! Well as you may have guessed, we are now in Queenstown. We left Franz yesterday morning to embark on a nice long bus journey! We ended up on the bus from 7.45am until about 6pm in the end. We had the same magicbus driver for a very long time, a slight 'character' called Mark, or Ma-a-a-a-ark which was how he introduced himself. ...

Long time no speak again! We have completely left the north island now and are getting pretty far south in the south! About 3/4 of the way down the west coast, in fact. We caught the interisland ferry from Wellington to Picton nice and early on Saturday morning. It took about 3 hours in total and was a pretty awesome ferry to someone who has not been on many! I didn't even realise we were on it at first, it was huge and had proper rooms and chairs! Even the seas...

Disclaimer: This will not be an essay of epic proportions like the last few blogs. I don't have a lot to talk about and am tired and uninspired tonight! With that said, we are now in Wellington. Tonight will be our 3rd night in New Zealand's capital city, which I must say is the quiestest capital I have ever been to. The population is something ridiculously small, which I have been told several times but cannot for the life of me remember. The first day we spen...

We are now in Taupo! Unfortunately our last day in Rotorua absolutely hammered it down with rain so we were mostly stuck inside watching home makeover shows and America's Next Top Model. Just like home, really! We did manage to venture out late afternoon though, and finally see some of what Rotorua had to offer. It is famous for its geothermal activity, so you see lots of randomly smoking ground! We went to the geothermal park which was pretty awesome, it has al...

Well I am back again! Need to stop being so lazy writing this because when I get round to it I just have more to say! After the last entry we had another day in Auckland. We mainly just bummed around a little bit, spending too much money on food! New Zealand feels a lot cheaper than Australia, and it is, but we really need to get out of the habit of going out for food just because we can almost afford it! Money must be saved for the various extreme sports NZ has...
