Well Well Well, Wellington
After a wonderful evening recovering our weary legs at Polynesian Spa in Rotorua, we boarded our 12:35am bus from Rotorua to Wellington where we were treated to 180º flat beds the whole 7.5 hour bus ride. However, our happiness didn't last as the bus's...
The Rotorua Routine
After a quick day trip to Waitomoto yesterday, our group had another night of mayhem karaoking and dancing with our new friends Ellena and Amber before turning in at an ungodly hour of 3am. And this photo happened. 3am being ungodly because Donna...
No Wait To Waitomo Gloworm Caves
After a magical first day in New Zealand, we got in a late morning and rented an 8 person passenger/soccer mom van for the 2.5 hour drive to Waitomoto for their famous gloworm caves. For $37.50 NZD per person that we booked ahead online, we were quickly whisked in for...

2 Hours In Melbourne

Don’t Go Cairns Chasin’ Waterfalls
It's been a productive 3 days in Cairns: 2 days ago we flew over the Great Barrier Reef and yesterday we dove straight into the middle of it. So today would be more a free day where the group save for Bryce, decided to rent both a car...
