Right been awhile since i have done this. after we left NY we went to Washington DC which was really historic, not alot going on, but we saw all the shizzle u see in the films (white house, national mall, congress) got some photos. Met some mentalist in the hostel called Dave, claimed he had burnt his face on a microwave (Stop talking s***!!).
We got back to NY for a few days, stayed in Jamacia Van Wyck in Queens, not the nicest of places wen u see police rocking upto a house opposite at 3am but a life experience. Once we left NY we headed for LA and Santa Monica. The hostel was pretty cool met some more decent folks, sciatica kicked in again still kicking up now but not as bad. Santa Moncia is stunning its was the best beach i had been too (rivalling St ives, but Fiji Denaurau beat that aswell) went shopping in Santa Monica, found a Vans shop and spent a bit hey ho. Decent night life in Santa Monica pretty expensive though. We left there to head for Anaheim to meet for our Contiki trip, we had to take a 50 min bus ride through Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and the s***holes in teh surrounding places, we then caught a train and another bus and still ended up walking about 2 mile to our hotel.....
The Contiki trip would take to long to got through day by day but here are a few of the highlights:
- San Diego (gaslamp district, wicked night out)
- Pheonix (Scottsdale uni, another great night out)
- Grand Canyon (Helicopter ride into the canyon, walking down into the canyon and Log cabins)
- Las Vegas (Partied in two of the most exclusive clubs (XS and Playboy/Moon (Palms roof top party over looking the Vegas strip) wat happens in Vegas, really should stay there!)
- Yosemite Park (Beautiful place, but was pissing it down with rain so little bit ruined, had 80's party and Karoke, first chunder of the tour)
- San Francisco (Again stunning place, just like the films, cable car rides, robs birthday ending in a Limo, Gay Bar that Lauren took us too.)
- and finally LA (Santa Barbara beach, drinking games in the hotel bar, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Venice beach).
- A fantastic experience made s*** loads of Aus friends who we are meeting and hopefully staying with when we hit Aus in Dec.
From there we left for our 11 hour flight to Fiji, horrible!!!! once we arrived there it was 5:30am and 25degrees have that!!! we got to the Tanoa hotel and crashed. We preety much just monged here for four days just going round Nadi and Denarau beach to recharge after America and to get ready for NZ. Food and drink in Fiji was stunning and really ready for NZ.
We left Fiji after another delayed flight and arrived in NZ about 9pm local time went to the Jet park hotel (Swanky) and had few beers and got some kip. Next day we picked up our home and wheels for the next 27 days, she is beautiful a great ride. Once we stocked up the van and i had a well needed hair cut, we went West to the coast (Lion Rock), absolute surfers paradise. 1st night in the van was funny setting up johns bed is like a creche, its tiny, for kids, me and rob got no chance!!! we then left and went north stopping off in a few small towns, NZ is like driving major roads through the Lake District, its stunning. We drove to a small coastal town called Piahia. and here we are....we are heading to Russel now where the first English settlements were and then we heading back down towards Auckland to have a quiet weekend in the city!!! (NZ is home to about 4 Million, about 1.9 mill lives in Auckland).
