HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!! I have been in Oz a month so far and what have we done....well we arrived in Sydney on the 10th of Dec...what a warm welcome...not, especially not after the 5 star service you receive in NZ, makes you remember what a nig city is like...however I knew we would love it really, was just a snotty shuttle driver...so we arrived in Base on Kent street in Sydney, smack bang in the centre of everything, a short walk to the QVB building and all the main shops :-) and a short walk to Circular key, and the rocks, the area which holds the opera house and the harbour bridge...loved the rocks, my favourite part of Sydney!!

Hey hey hey peps, hope you are well?!?!OK so the last 4 days in short, kind of!! So I am almost a week into my trip and have already done and seen soooooo much!!! I have to admit I have been a little slack with writing a journal and so I will give you a basic overview of my adventures so far!! I have stayed in wood cabins with cockroaches and frogs, rock climbed with bats, quad biked in the dark and fell out of a raft in he white water rapids and lived to tell the tale!:-) We arrived in a small community in Ecuador on Saturday, just outside a town called Tena, the people in this community were the kindest nicest people who looked after us so well, we hiked for hours in this ... read more
