Well we've crossed to the south island by ferry- all three boring hours of it!! Wellington was lovley we found the nicest curry place ever - their butter chicken was fab so i'll always be comparing curry's to there in the future! When we got off the Ferry we were in Picton at the very top of the south island. We had considered staying in Picton for a few days but after a bit of reserch on the internet found that there wasn't actually anything there apart from the...

Well we're in 'Windy Welly' and they wern't joking when they nicknamed it that! It's pretty windy here and changes between been freezing and really sunny! Before we got to Wellington we had a stop over in a place called River Valley. It's really really remote and theres only really a backpackers lodge there but it's so pretty! On the way Manjee our driver told us about the 'orgy pit!'. It's classed as a dorm room but its just big long bunkbeds where everyone slee...

When we got the the rafting centre we all had to squeeze into wet wetsuits which was entertaining and very difficult so unfortunatly theres no pict...

Well we decided to do the Kiwi Experience after all. The route we are on is the Sheepdog if anyone wants to see where we are headed just google it! Auckland was pretty boring really there wasn't much to do plus it was raining! Holly went up Sky Tower and really enjoyed it but i didn't fancy it. People jumped off the edge- crazy! We then went to Mercury Bay via Thames which was really nice. The road is up in the hills and is really windy so im glad we wern't hung ...

Well we've just got back from Mana Island today as we fly to Auckland really early tomorrow morning. We had a great time on Mana. It's alot bigger than Robinson Cruseo so theres three hostels to choose from, we chose Ratu Kini hostel which turned out to be the best choice, not that im biased!! There were four beaches on the island so there was pleanty of sunbathing space. Needless to say our suntans are much improoved (as are the white patches!!). The days were s...
