Wayalailai Eco Haven Resort I had a s*** nights sleep, the bed I was on had a crap mattress and dipped in the middle so bloody thin that I felt every pole of the bunk bed, as if my back wasn’t aching enough! We didn’t have long on the island this morning for breakfast and a a quick stroll around the island before we got speed-boated to the ferry for our next island which was about an hour and a half away I think. We were both a little sleepy, I think we h...

Picked up at the crack of dawn. Last night was s fairly decent nights sleep even though people had the main lights on at 5am and Ellie said she could hear them playing music. The bus was full of a random mix of people all getting on different boats I can imagine. When we got to the ferry port it was crazy, we had to check our bags in with the guys loading the truck before we checked in for our tour at the desk and then the guys didn’t know which boat they wer...

Surprisingly not so hungover this morning but still know that I’ve had a drink and feeling a little squiffy!

Our last full day in New Zealand, where has the time gone? Time to give it a good damn send off and hold the tradition we seem to have going... get drunk on the day before you have to fly to make that flight travel process a little more harder for yourself... We joi...

Our final night in a New Zealand hostel! It wasn’t so bad, we had to tip toe around a little this morning to get ready but we were good to go for the last kiwi bus at 8.50am. My back is bloody sore today and our thighs are aching too. Need to try and keep moving and stretch a lot today on that bus, can’t imagine it’s going to be full. The bus wasn’t a kiwi bus it was a random coach but with a kiwi experience driver and just as we expected the bus was qu...
