New Zealand - The Stray Bus
In and around New Zealand
I have just returned from an AMAZING three weeks in New Zealand with the lovely Hannah. As per usual I have been rubbish at keeping my blog up to date but I am sure after I have filled you in on all my exciting new adventures you will understand why. New Zealand had some kind of power over me which made me do crazy, crazy things! After lots of recommendations Hannah and I decided to join the Stray bus to travel around the South Island of New Zealand. (Thanks to the 2 Als - my walking and talking Lonely Planet!) The bus was perfect; we could hop-on and hop-off where ever we wanted, we took part in all kinds of activities and we met some great people too.
