So we left Christchurch early this morning, didnt really do much yesterday apart from going to Science World which was GREAT fun..as you can see from our pics, we're such big kids. Today we're in Kaikora, which is a small seaside town, its a lovely place but theres not a lot to do other than dolphin or whale watching which are both a bit pricey for me and nat! Also we've already been through here at the start of our trip so theres not even really anything to i...

So we finally managed to pull ourselves away from Queenstown, which has been described by many as a black hole, which sucks you and your money in and doesnt let you leave. The number of people we met that had stayed so much longer than planned and spent so much more than they had meant to was unbelievable!

We went out sailing on Boomerang in the Whitsundays for 2 nights, and both me and nat agree its the best thing we've done so far on our trip (which bobby was very pleased to hear!!). It was so much fun we got some wind so were able to do a good bit of sailing, and in the evenings we moored up in calmer waters. We saw many things we've never seen before....a sky FULL of stars and shooting stars whilst lying on the deck at night, Whitehaven beach which is just an...
