                    <title>Fiji</title>
                    <description>Our flight from NZ to Fiji was in the day which made a refreshing change of not having to hang around for a night flight. There was not any time difference coming from NZ to Fiji so we are still 13 hours ahead of the UK. Arriving in Fiji we headed to the travel agent and booked a weeks stay on an island and our last week back on the mainland. We stayed in Nadi that night and wondered into the main</description>

                    <description>We left Wellington on the early morning ferry which took about 3.5hrs over to Picton on the South Island.  Shortly after arriving we were picked up by our next bus with an interesting driver that played rock music really loud all day which wasn't annoying at all  Our first stop on the South Island was at Abel Tasman National Park where we stayed in a big tent at a really nice camp site which we</description>

                    <description>After arriving in Auckland we had a few days to explore the city before catching the stray bus. The city itself has the largest population in New Zealand however the city centre seemed very small with one main street. So after a couple of days we were ready to leave. We had booked onto the stray bus which is taking us all the way through to christchurch. So on thursday we hopped on the bus to our </description>

So for the majorirty of our time there we enjoyed walking through the many parks and the busy street doing some shopping. On the first day we headed over the river to the Southbank where there is a lagoon and park area for BBQs which is a very cool </description>

Before we headed over to the island we met up with the rest of the group we would be there with for a briefing and to organise our food for the trip.  On thursday we were up early to be ready for the 830am barge over to the island.  In total there was 13 of us going on the tour including our guide so we loaded up </description>

                    <description>We arrived in Australia after a long bumpy flight from Singapore to a dull overcast day.  We flew into Brisbane and then transferred to another flight up to Townsville to start our journey south.  We had originally had decided to start from Townsville to allow us to go on a snorkeling trip to The Great Barrier Reef but after seeing the weather and prices we decided to have a change of plan and hea</description>

                    <description>Moving on from KL we spent a few days chilling out in Melaka before we were to move on to Singapore. Melaka was the nicest place we had been to in Malaysia. Melaka historically was an important trading port and consequently over time had been occupied by many countries such as Britain and Holland. So this town had many cultural influences and a vairety of colonial buildings which gave it character</description>

                    <description>We arrived in bangkok after a long journey from Siem Reap and decided to stay the night before heading down to the islands in the South.  That night we had a chance to have another cheap Pad Thai and had a wonder around which after seeing so many different places seemed a bit nicer than we had remembered.The next day we had to hang around waiting for the night bus to take us down to Suratthani.  </description>

                    <description>After leaving Hoi An we spent the next 5 days or so in Nha Trang chilling out on the beach. Unfortunately when we arrived in Nha Trang we realised our camera and a phone were no longer with us due to them being stolen from our big bags in the hotel So we have no photos from here how ever we did get 5 days of sunshine to improve our tans and sample a bit of windsurfing which was good fun.

                    <description>We arrived in Hue after another 14hr sleeper bus journey from Hanoi we're still not getting used to them  After checking in and having a spot of lunch we set off to have a look around the Citadel.  It was a really hot day and made walking there hard work so by missing the main entrance we ended up walking around the full wall of the site before even getting inside which we could have done withou</description>

                    <description>We had booked a 3 day trip to Halong Bay through our hostel in Hanoi which started with a 3hr journey to the coast where we met the rest of our group.  We then boarded the boat which took us across to the islands.  When we arrived at the boat the weather wasn't looking too good around the islands but luckily by the time we arrived the sun was back out and we were able to enjoy the scenery.After lu</description>

                    <description>Arriving in Vang Vieng was a relief after a journey that took us through the mountains of Laos with the odd obstruction ranging from children to buffalo to goats and pigs often chilling in the middle of the road. After finding some where to stay we soon found some where to eat over looking the river. The next day was tubing day we had a leisurely morning drinking pineapple shakes our new fave </description>

                    <description>After leaving Chiang Mai we took the bus up to the border at Chiang Khong ready to take the slow boat the next day.  The slowboat took us on a two day trip along the Mekong River through to Luang Prabang.  The first day was a little uncomfortable sat on the straight backed wooden benches even with the cushions they sell you before boarding.  The next day we had a stroke of luck and got to sit on s</description>

                    <description>After our first two days in Bangkok we set off on our first tour.

We were then taken to see the River Kwai along the way here we saw a little baby tiger in a cage he was cute and had a funny little growl. After so</description>
