Picture this, pitch black, making my way back to the campervan late at night at the holiday park, in my own little world. I open the door, look right, think to myself that our van doesn't look that way when the beds are put out. I look left and to my ... Read more >

After a late night out in Wellington we took the Ferry across to Picton, a 3 hour crossing. It was a beautiful day, a little chilly out on the main deck. I had no idea it would take that long to get the South Island but the views along the way were ... Read more >

Just come to the end of our time in Fiji. It has been amazing. We went straight to the further islands the day after we arrived, 5 hours away from the mainland by boat! It was worth getting away from Nadi as the beach wasn't up to much. I have offically ... Read more >
