Hi everyone. Just a short (I promise!) postcard to let you know we're are both good and everything is going well down in Queenstown. It's really great to be back together but it was also really nice to miss each other - having spent every day together missing each other is not something we'd previously been able to do!!! Anyway, we spent a few nights in Auckland and about 3 days in Raglan. We had some great fun out surfing and there were some decent waves whi...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all good. Am back in Auckland now for a few days just chilling out. The bus trip was really cool and just what I needed - not having to worry about any driving, meeting new people (even if some of them were complete donuts!) and getting to see all the top spots in the North Island. The weather let us down for the first few days up in the Bay of Islands - bit of a shock to the system having come from Oz. My rain mac was worn on too m...

Kia Ora everyone, well I got to Auckland last night and arrived safe and well. I'm off on a tour of the North Island tomorrow with www.flyingkiwi.com - doing the 'hot rocks' tour.

Mel went up to the Mt Kosciosko Lookout (2000m up) - although she didn't have to walk all that way! Took the chairlift up and walked the rest! This is the highest mtn in Australia and so its a ...

Hi everyone. Hope you are all good and its not too cold for you all! Since we last wrote we finished the rest of the Great Ocean Road. After we moved on from Apollo Bay we headed to Jan Juc about 5km south of Torquay. The weather was amazing that day - they reckoned about 36 degrees! It was pretty muggy though and as expected the heat was followed during the night with a massive storm! Luckily we were in the van but we did feel for all the families who were ...
