Kia Orana from Rarotonga! Its my last day in the Cook Islands and its been a very relaxing week. After arriving, we hopped on another plane to Aitutaki island where we hired a car and went whizzing around the island sights (well about 10k per hour!) and did the lagoon cruise which was well worth it to see the gorgeous lagoon and deserted islands. In Rarotonga, we have to abide by 'Cook Island time' so everthing is done at a slow pace which suits us fin...

Hello folks! Well am nearing the end of my travels soon. We've been in New Zealand for a couple of weeks and its been fantastic. We decided to go on a hop on/off bus called Stray and have met some great people, done amazing things like caving, bone carving, glacier walks and lots of other things I can't remember just now! Anyway just to say I'll be back on 3rd of March so hopefully catch up with you soon. Should have some good photos to bore you wi...

Seemingly it is closed the majority of time due to high temperatures, winds, rain and the occasional aboriginal ceremony....

So far we've been to Sydney for New Year which was amazing. We managed to get a spot at the botanical gardens after queuing at 1pm which gave us a view of the opera house and harbour bridge. It was a long day waiting around but the fireworks were well worth it! Unfortunately, they were serving horrible win...

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm writing this from a place called Orange which is a few hours from Sydney. Australia has been fantastic so far. We arrived in Melbourne and had a few days sightseeing and I spent my birthday night with some people we met at the hostel, following a comedy night. Was so amazed as I was asked for ID to get into a pub on my birthday - 31 years of age!! Pretty chuffed about that one... Anyway, I decided to go on a day trip to Phillip...
