Hi guys!! We're back, so here goes... :D We spent a good few days in Wellington with Gill, Simon and crew, enjoying our last visit with them whilst we're on this trip. On the Friday night we saw the film "Street Dance" with Sophie and Gill in 3D which was cool, and it was nice to have a night with the girls.

Kia Ora from the very cold South coast! For our last night in Queenstown with the gang on our bus before we left them for the Bottom Bus, an optional loop around the very South of NZ, we took on the town once again, with Emily in full swing this time! There were a couple of guys playing acoustic music in the Altitude bar so we began there with a bit of a boogie before heading off to the World bar again. It was another great night and a great way to say a last goo...
