Hi all,
We're now in New Zealand at Lake Taupo which is gorgeous.
In our last few days in Oz we sunbathed at Bondi, went to a show at the Sydney Opera House, both realized we had NO money left and went for a FREE drink (courtesy of vouchers from our hostel) with Jenny from our Malaysia trip who happened to be in Oz!
Got to NZ on the 12th and stayed for the evening in Auckland where we went for our last nice meal of travelling to Orbit restaurant which is at the top of their sky tower and revolves as you eat!
Next day we picked up our awesome campervan and got driving to Coromandel to see Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove - both of which were lovely and we had a gorgeous drive along the coast and then a ropey drive over a mountain!
We slept at Hot Water Beach and met two German guys Ben and Bolly, who at learning our age said 'god that's old' - thanks…! Anyway moving on we had our horse trek on Coromandel at Ranghi Ranch, which was really cool, Emilia had her horse Libby and mine was Lace, Em fell of Libby but was ok, apparently it was the most graceful fall that the Ranch owner had ever seen!
Then we headed to Tauranga but had an evening of rain so wasn't great as Tauranga is all about the beaches, ended up making dinner with outside a toilet block for shelter - nice! But moving on to Rotorua we spent a gorgeous evening at the Blue Lake after going to the one and only free thermal park in the area! We also sneaked in a campsite and used their showers as we were getting quite stinky!
Next day headed to Taupo and went to Huka Falls which was awesome. Then onto a thermal park called Okara Koroki which had geysers, hot springs, mud pools etc… very cool bit smelly…
Today Kelly was supposed to be skydiving but due to the weather it's been called off so all fingers crossed for tomorrow! Then we'll head back to Auckland where we'll head to LA!
