Oh dear, so the homecoming was a while ago however, it doesnt seem quite right not to add it to the page as a some sort of salut out... The past year for me has been amazing and the best thing I have done in my life, that I can say with my whole heart. Every peice of memory will forever be with me along with all the friendships I have made along the way. Many proven to be strong bonded already. When I arrived home at first it felt rather normal to ease into the life I had left behind. (Apart from the sleepless nights and deadbeat days...) When I got back into my old room, nothing had changed... it felt surreal. How can I have done so much and seen so much and nothing ... read more

Hi everyone!! Once again, found alright internet here in Fiji which is somewhat of a luxury and I am very pleased I can report back to you all what I'm up to over here! Came back from Robinson Crusoe Island three days ago, but on a island that shuts down their electricty at midnight overnight it was somewhat hard for me to phone, text, email... smoke signs were more likely than any of the above, hihi... so sorry for the late entry! Anyhow, so headed off to Robinson Crusoe Island for three nights and to check out the islands off the south coast of Viti Levu (also known as the main island). I got dropped off by Mango Bay bus at the vatudrandra (I think thats how its spelt) Police post and had approx an hour ... read more

Hello everyone! Ahhhh internet at last that seems to work semi decently! And this is the most communication I have had since I got here! Bula!!!friends, family home and away. This one has landed in the lusturous land of white sand beaches and kava! Last country to stay as well so rather monumental when you think about it! I got here saturday and settled rather nicely into my double room ensuite, with ocean views. I checked in just as the sun was setting and I must say after the hectic day I had arriving to that was breathtaking! Leaving Christchurch was a mission! I must say... Got up and had to check out of Base an hour before everyone else because it was easter and for some strange reason they needed the beds on floor one ... read more

Well this is where the bus finished in terms of travelling with everybody I met from River Valley and Wellington. We arrived after a rather looong journey from Lake Wanaka but worth every scene we past (of course - nz is really the scenic capital of the world). Now Queenstown is a place of adrenaline and in all terms possible we made sure it would be in all respects. The bus pulled up right infront of the Remarkables (the mountain ranges in Queenstown that really do live up to their name!!) for a Kiwi Experience group photo. The sturdy ones on the bottom and the rest of us piled ontop! its quite an amusing photo and when I look back on it I am sure I will really miss everyone and that very funny moment! Very ... read more

After rather strenous activities for the past couple of days it was time for the bus to have a day off anc chill out. Where would be better than Wanaka?! This lovely little up and coming chic NZ town was the perfect place for us to retreat to. We had an amazing drive there with views of Mount Cook and the mirror Lakes along with some stunning scenery of new Zealands finest landscapes. We stopped off at the only place in Nz where the rainforest (or native bush as they refer it to here) leads all the way down to the ocean. Just mezmerizing, and its even on the 100% nz tourism advert! How cool is that to say that I've been there! After the lovely drive and alot of singing and banter on the bus, ... read more
