225 days, 9 countries, and 65 cities, towns, villages and islands later, we are now reaching the end of our eight month tour of the world.

With only two weeks left, our final stop was New York City. What a perfect way to our trip of a lifetime!

"My cousin Kate, her husband Paul, and their 2 children Keira and Nia, were there to greet us at the airport when we arrived in Charlottetown. At this point, Nia was only 11 days old and so tiny! We went straight to the Farmers Market for breakfast, and then headed back to their house where we sat out on the deck for a few hours catching up. Later that afternoon, the rest of the family came round and we had a BBQ. It was so nice to see everybody again and meet the two new additions to the family, Nia and Simon, who were born just three days apart from one another.

Another month has soon passed and as we only have another three months of our trip left we leave New Zealand for LA this evening.
We have spent the past month travelling the south of New Zealand and also spent a week in Fiji, and we have loved every moment of it. I am so lucky, I don't think I have had a bad day since I left the UK five months ago!

First stop, Nelson - May 8th:

We hopped on the Kiwi Experience bus in Wellington and got on the ferry to go over to the south island. The bus was full with 50 people, and everyone looked pretty young, so we were looking forward to getting to know everyone.
The ferry was amazing, and even had a cinema on board, so we made full use of that and watched Marley and Me. Another fantastic film, only I was crying my eyes out.... Poor Marley!

We arrived in Nelson later that afternoon after stopping off for lunch at Lake Rotoiti, which is situated in Nelson's National Park, and is absolutely stunning. I don't think there are words that can actually describe how gorgeous it is so i'll let the pictures explain it.......

I can't believe we have been in Australia almost two weeks, our time here seems to have flown by!
The flight from Thailand to Sydney was pretty horrendous for the simple reason there was a screaming baby sat right behind me who wouldn't shut up for the whole 9 hour flight!
