Auckland, New Zealand

Hey All,
We;ll we have now finished New Zealand and what an incredible time we have had - just seen and done some more amazing things but have simply fallen in love with the people and the place! We did our helicopter ride and ice trek on our anniversairy which was lovely (4 long hard years with him...hehe) - just incredible. I held Daws hand so tight as I was so scared - but it was just the best experience cruising over the ice glacier just something always to remember! Generally we have just been cruising around seeing fantastic places - plenty of Lord of the Rings sights and we also saw some volcanoes which was pretty cool. We went to a place called Rotorua where it is a geothermal hotspot, and the whole village has bubbling mud and smelly sulphar in the air - stank of rotten eggs so we were soon outta there. We also went to the very north of the north island which was pretty much the edge of the world, where we cruised along Ninety Mile Beach - which was just stunning - Sand dunes and White Silica sand incredible. This is a place will be def coming back to - hopefully sooner rather than later.
Generally as a whole we have enjoyed the south island more so - just generally more picturesque and jaw dropping!
But we are now packed and ready for BULA time - here comes FIJI BABY! 13 nights sitting on a beach and supping cocktails! We are so ready for a holiday within our holiday! Sea, sand and a proper bed outta the campervan!! From fiji we head to the US of A, where daws gets to watch the NYK's and I get to Shop...... Window shop of course!!!! But here is to the final leg of our trip.... looking forward to seeing you all.
