Bula! This greeting just about sums up Fiji, it is so welcoming and friendly and you here it from all the locals. Fiji is amazing, we have had such a fantastic time here and would definitely return. We have never encountered such welcoming, friendly people who will help you however they can, including carrying your luggage everywhere! (Which made David feel bad!)We arrived into Nadi on Tuesday and were greeted in the airport by a welcome band singing the traditio...

This is our last blog from New Zealand (and it will be a very short blog!) and it feels sad to be saying goodbye, partly because we have had such a good time here, and partly because it means that our trip really is ending soon! We have only spent one and a half days in Auckland and so it has been a whistle-stop tour but we have enjoyed it alot, Auckland is a really nice city.

THEN, we ...

Hi there! We have spent the last few days in Melbourne, staying with relatives of Jo's (Joe and Julie Morris) which has been fantastic! They have thoroughly looked after us and made us feel so welcome. We were very grateful to be picked up from the bus station after our 13hour journey, which completed our 4000km in total of coach trips down the coast. No more buses!! To be fair though, the Greyhound pass has been fantastic, we got to go everywhere we wanted ...
