This is going to have to be a short one as I have about 10 minutes left of Internet and the Internet where we've been staying is pretty expensive. We've been having an amazing time in New Zealand, such an beautiful landscape. Reminds me of Scotland at times and Canada (not that I've been) at others. This country makes me think of Dad quite a bit as I know he'd love it! The group we're on tour with are lovely, about 23 girls and 2 boys.haha. So parents have no need to worry! We already feel like we've all been together for ages and I'm currently learning danish due to the 8 Danish girls (and one boy) on our trip. Its really fun! What have we done so far? We've done Coastal Kayaking which was tough ... read more

I've been a bit slack with the old blog and so I apologise to all those that read it. Basically the parents... I haven't really spoken to the family much recently so for once I feel this is actually of use to fill you all in. I left you last in Bunbury, Western Australia. Fun capital of Australia it is not however it was nice chance for me and Chloe to relax a bit. Me and Chloe managed to read 2 books during the 3 weeks in WA, those that know me will know what a miracle that is. The weather was a bit pants to start of with but by the end of the week we got some nice hot scorching days. However it wasn't all just sitting around reading. We went to the gorgeous ... read more

Hopefully we can get some up soon! We love a bit of imagery ey! Ok, so Jess left up on the waterfalls at Springbrook...pretty amazing place..the clouds seeped beneath the tree tops shades of deep greens, mountains,stunning waterfall with the gold coast (surfers paradise) high risers in the distance..All in one picture!The area had a mystical and secret feel to it (the fog could've had something to do with that mind you!) but yes, one of my fav places thus far! It did rain..and I mean bucket it down but it added to the feel of it..trekking (our version ... read more

We're feeling a bit nostalgic and sentimental already. The last 4 days or so have been so amazing that we're trying our hardest to keep hold of the fringes of Fraser Island as it slips away from us. The Whitsundays and Fraser Island are over, only to be remembered by photos. I know this is slightly ridiculous but seriously, the BEST 3 days. Before Fraser Island we did a days sailing trip round the Whitsunday islands. It was so beautiful. Whitehaven beach is the nicest beach I've ever seen in my life. White sand blue/green sea. Amazing. Unfortunately also got badly burnt here as I got sand stuck to me everywhere after going in the water so reapplying was difficult. This has now resulted in a very blotchy tan on my back and the whitest most ... read more

Well, we survived Auckland. Mainly due to a free trip that got us out of the city and I have to say New Zealand is beautiful, so we're looking forward to going back in Jan. The Rainforest was the first port of call. Had a brilliant day, driving through the rainforest, going to a Wildlife Sanctuary where we got to hold a Koala (tick) feed Kangaroo's (unexpected tick) and stroke a baby Crocodile. Saw some breath taking views and went for a walk along Cape Tribulation Beach/ In the rainforest. Here our tour guide-who looked suspiciously like Steve Irwin and was called Steve- proceeded to pick up a large red ant with a green bum and bite the bum off. When he uttered the words, you try it, I couldn't resist. I'm like a child in ... read more
