Australia, New Zealand & Fiji

I know it's been a while since i posted! Have been so busy :) . So here is a few piccies and brief blog about all 3.

Australia- After i left Perth, i spent a few days in Sydney, before going down to Tamworth to visit some family friends. Sydney is cool, i found it was quite like America in the way thaat it's built. It has lots of space and very wide streets... Alot like NYC. I loved seeing the Opera House, walking along the Harbour, seeing the Bridge and doing a day of touring on the Hop on, Hop off bus. Although as a solo traveler there is a limit to how much fun you can have in sydney!

Few photo's of Aussie ;

New Zealand - I flew into Auckland, and my friend Nikki was there to pick me up. It was so nice seeing her again! I stayed with her in Hamilton, about an hour an a half out of Auckland, and took day trips during the week while she worked.

I went to several cool places; Rotarua, Waitomo, Hot water beach and some other little towns on the NE coast.

Rotarua is famous for its natural mud pools, hot pools, smelly sulpher air and also for its Traditional Mauri shows.

Waitomo is famouse for its amazing caves and black water rafting, it's main attraction is the Glow worm cave. The Glow worm cave was incredible, you get taken into th cave and you climb into a boat. You go through the caves in the pitch black, but 5 mins into the journey, you look up and there are millions of tiny blue lights. It's as if your star watching!

The Mauri show was also really amazing. I got to the "Mauri Village" and was greeted with a song and dance, then we went into have a traditional mauri cooked dinner. They cook the dinner underground using earth and wet towls to keep the steam from the hot pools in the pit. After our delicious supper, we went on a walk into the forrest to find a village, where we watched a 2 hour show. Was a great experience !
I could go on forever about all my story's, but here are some pictures for now... I'll tell you the rest of my stories when i see you all :) ; Will post more pictures in seperate Blog, as i cant on here for some reason ....
