Our third week in New Zealand started with an early start, leaving Taupo we were heading across the country, east to Napier. The drive took a good few hours and we arrived in time for brunch. The Napier of today is the silver lining of the dark cloud that was New Zealand's worst natural disater, the town was rebuilt after a deadly earthquake hit it in 1931, which caused huge city altering fires....

Ben and Cerri off on their adventure around the world We start our journey on the 17th May 2010 and are due to return to the UK on the 15th May 2011. We have both had enough with the hussle and bussle of working life and have decided to re-live our younger days by becoming travellers . . . some say we're having a mid twenties crisis! The main reason we are flying the coop is that we are currently waiting on our visa application for Australian Residency to come through, so instead of waiting in the UK in the lovely Welsh weather we decided we wanted to see a bit of the world before we set... full info

Jealous
OMG I'm so jealous. I spent hours in Te Papa, and I loved Kaikoura. Try and get up Fox Glacier for a hike, it's breathtaking - and just before Queenstown, is the world's first commercial bungee jump. Terrifying but amazing. Hope you're behaving yourself Banj. Have a great time x

Amusing
Hi there. Just read your blog and has made me chuckle!! Poor old BIG FAT SUE and you guys.. I couldn't think of anything worse than a campervan or caravan... I used to take the piss out of poor old Alan (bless him) and still do so with Chris (one of our drivers) who both were/are caravan club members!! Fair play to you all and pleased to see/hear you are all enjoying yourselves, I think..what an experience!! Your sense of humour is great Ben, your comment 'Happy Days' is so you! Keep safe and warm by the sound of things. Bye for now. Ruth
