Saturday 16 May, 10:40 am local time. At "The Lakes" hotel internet lounge in Cairns where the air con is on full blast so we've sneakily turned it off! It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to the great and wonderful Land of Oz. We've seen a fair share of the East coast (drove from Sydney, in the South, up to Cairns in the North), but could've easily spent our 3 months here exploring this enormous and diverse country.

Monday 11 May, 7pm local time. At a deli/convenient store/make-shift internet cafe in the pretty little town of Townsville.

Here's a quick update of this past ...

Tuesday 21 April, 6:30 pm local time. At an internet café called "Blah Blah" (what an appropriate name!) in Christchurch. Good day all! It's been one week since our last update, and needless to say we've kept ourselves busy.

Tuesday 14 April, 8:40pm local time. Just arrived in Taupo. It's happy hour at the Internet cafe ($2.50 NZD/hr instead of $10), which makes us both very happy! Hello hello! First off, thanks to everyone who read our first blog (after all, it's for ya!), and secondly, for all your lovely messages!
