It’s been really, really, really, REALLY…REALLY fab having Ems here in New Zealand and sadly it’s her last night here tonight. Tomorrow I’ll take her to airport at 4.00am…yes you heard correctly…4.00am! As this is a happy and sad occasion we went out for a walk along the waterfront and some food at Mac’s. It wasContinueContinue reading “Em’s last day in Wellington :(“

Ems and Bex on Tour: Wandering around Wellington

As me and Ems are back from our little holiday we thought we’d do some sightseeing within Wellington. We ventured to the Mount Victoria Lookout, where we got well and truly blown away, travelled on the Cable Car and walked down through the Botanical Gardens where we tried the new art of ‘Sundialing’.

Unfortunately she did vomit on the way down but only once the parachute hadContinueContinue reading “Ems and Bex on Tour: Taupo”

Ems and Bex on Tour: Rotorua

Ems and I began the day with a drive to Rotrua’s Skyline. We had seen a leaflet for it and both really wanted to go on the Luge’s.

Ems and Bex on Tour: Auckland

Today me and Ems made like grannies and took a bus tour around Auckland. It was $40.00 for the whole day and you can ‘hop-on-hop-off’ as much as you like within that day. The busses stop at 14 important places within the city and you get a commentary as you are driven round. Most of theContinueContinue reading “Ems and Bex on Tour: Auckland”
