Hello! Have been in New Zealand a week now and absolutely love it. The people, the scenery, the cafes, cakes, activities, hostels...infact everything are all marv! We are now in Wellington, the capital city and it seems like there is a fair old bit to do here. First i'll give you a quick catch up of the places we've stopped at along the way so far... Auckland - I really loved the feel of the city and everything was made even more lovely jubly by being jo...

Amazing what you'll do to get the cheap ticket! We stayed at a hostel which was pretty central but it was so quiet in the city that it felt as if we were in the middle of nowhere. Sa...

Perth - We arrived in Perth almost a week ago (Monday) and time there really flew. We stayed with Lisa (Mummy) and Mari who were on tour in Vietnam and got to meet Dougal (dad) and Lucy (younger sister). Such a lovely family. Typical salt of the earth type people. Perth is a quiet city but is very beautiful. One thing you notice is the cleanliness everywhere and how attractive the neighbourhoods are. We had so much arranged and organised for us so our experience ...
