hello all and sorry for the delay in my blog, it's been a hectic few days travelling and the internet facilities aren't as good as Asia was years ago. I love Rio!!! it's amazing - it has the beach, city, mountains and sushi! I was pretty nervous about arriving in Rio on my own but was very lucky to meet a lovely girl on the plane who was travelling on business and gave me a lift to my hostel in her company chauffeur driven car! I had been really apprehensive as i had read the taxi companis were a real rip [View Full Entry]

I'm back at my old job, living in my old flat with all of my old mates - was the last 12 months just a brilliant dream or did i really travel to amazing places like Vietnam? The only thing that makes me realise it's all real (and is keeping me sane) are my beautiful pictures (and clinging to travel buddies on facebook.) So i thought i would upload all of my favourites to round off the blog. It'll be a while before i'll have saved enough cash to be off travelling again (but it will happen!). FAVOURITE MEMORIES commando [View Full Entry]

Even though I arrived in dry season it rained far too much for any sunbathing or good snorkelling on Rarotonga. Thankfully I met a cool new friend, Jo from Grimsby and and we kept each other entertained by husking coconuts and watching DVDs. We stayed at 2 different hostels and unfortunately somewhere inbetween my MP3 player was stolen - argh!!! Luckily i do have a very nice new underwater camera i bought in duty free at Fiji airport to keep me entertained on the gadget-front! Rarontonga backpackers was nice and friendly but relatively small compared to Varas on the other [View Full Entry]

snorkelling fun!

Because of the Air New Zealand flight changes I had a lot less time in Fiji than I originally planned. This meant that i couldn't really do island hopping so i spent the 4 nights chilling out on Beachcomber Island. Before I even booked my trip I had planned to come to Beachcomber because I had seen it on a TV programme or read about it on a website and thought it sounded like Paradise. I was very happy when i got there and never wanted to leave this place! I had convinced my new NZ travel buddy Emily that [View Full Entry]

After Taupo it was time to move to Rotorua and we stayed in the best hostel yet - Treks is brand new and no bunk beds!! Rotorua is often called Rotten Rua due to the smell of sulphur (rotten eggs) from all of the geysers surrounding and in the town. It is also the cultural capital of the island and we took in some traditional Maori concerts with dancing and great food which is cooked underground on hot stones. We also took a day trip to Waitomo for caving - a 5 hour trip called the Black Abyss which involved [View Full Entry]

I have just had the most amazing experience, skydiving from 15,000ft over New Zealand's largest Lake - Taupo. It was the most exhilarating feeling and afterwards i just wanted to go straight back up and do it again! I had though i would be nervous before but i was so excited and it's only when the plane door opened that i got nervous and started to swear! Emily, Sarah, Danny and I went up in the same plane so they feature on my dvd too which is cool - i'll bore most of you with it when i get home [View Full Entry]

Arrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh!

New Zealand may be cold but it definitely rocks! It's pretty different to Australia too. I joined the Kiwi Experience bus which has been a great laugh and have met so many new friends. Highlights so far... Fancy dress party in Lake Mahinapua : Sarah- Jane and I dressed as Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles and our outfits weren't too bad considering we hardly had any time at all to prepare and all the shops were closed for Easter. Glacier hiking in Franz Josef - a full day hike through the glacier and munching on easter eggs at the top! Partying [View Full Entry]

Hey Hey! I'm back in Northern Territory now after a 7 day tour from Adelaide to Alice. I had flown to Adelaide from Tasmania with the worst hangover imaginable and didn't have much time to explore unfortunately. What i did see of Adelaide i really liked though and was quite surprised. The central market was my favourite place - fresh fruit, veg, cheese, meats and bread and a fantastic buzz about the place. The bus picked me up at the ungodly hour of 6.30am and i met my fellow passengers i would be spending the week with. I must say that [View Full Entry]
