Wednesday 16th May 2007Journal brought to you by Sophie Today was a very good day all thanks to the wonders of Kiwi Experience.. We would never have been able to do anything like this if we hadn't of joined the bus.  These past few weeks have been some of the greatest fun I have ever had.  All the people are so lovely, our driver Jimmy is an absolute legend and knows what he is talking about and the sights we have seen are out of this world.  I am run...

Saturday 12th May Journal entry brought to you by Tami Sophie and I were due to catch our new Kiwi Experience bus today, but first we had to tend to a few matters from the night before when Sophie had left her watch in the internet cafe, and I had taken written, addressed and stamped postcards out to post and returned with them still in my bag.
