So I left u at Christchurch. Next stop Mount Cook. Our first big hike. And a much needed warm up after a cold cold night (1 0c) in the car. Twas a tough but rewarding 5 hour trek up and down but well worth it to see the beautiful snow capped mountain range at the top. We then stopped for a scenic lunch overlooking Lake Tekapo on the way to Dunedin which was breathtaking. At Dunedin we encountered the steepest street in the world which was a lot of fun (not for ...

Hello everyone! It's been an interesting few weeks since last blog. Main events including the death of our campervan; the 'Californian Rattle Snake', tattoos and generally being hobo's! It all started well as we headed off north to visit the Cape Reinga and marvel at the meeting of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean, which was beautiful.

The following day was not much bet...

The weather was terrible and it was a very early start yet Tim and I managed to catch our first waves with the grace...

Hehe. Could be worse though, we have had 2 whole days of sunshine since we've been here (i'm not bitter at all!). Anyways, had a big ol' walk around Sydney visiting some touristy spots such as Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge which were both very cool (a...
