Road Trippin......

Hello everyone, hope everything is ok in England, and you are all enjoying the spring weather.

Just a quick update, as internet is limited. We collected our hire car today, a silver Nissan Bluebird, which we have named Bambi (we thought Bambi Bluebird sounded like a good porn stars name!) and have started our journey south. We were all alittle nervous about driving again after 6 months away, but luckly they drive on the same side here, could of caused alot of confusion for J and I! It all came back to us tho and we took it in turns to make the 3 hour journey south to Waitomo (only had to make a few u-turns). Arrived in Waitomo about 6pm to find all the hostels full. We were starting to think we may have to camp out in the car when we came across a hut about 2km out of Waitomo village, with massive bunk beds, hot showers, huge kitchen and really cute kitten, for the bargin price of 4 pounds each. Also found a pub that serve cider and snake bite, so were able to have our first pints of cider in 6 months....yummy!

Tommorow we are off to see some glow worms in Waitomo caves, and then have a mini road trip planned back up north to visit the hot water beaches on the west coast. So lots of driving, and singing along to the I-Pod for us.

Well time for bed,
lots of love from all of us, Hayley xxx
