Farewell to New Zealand






Today is a sad day, the saddest of all the sad days so far :( We left Queenstown this morning after two fantastic nights with our old bus crew. It was so good to see those guys and catch up with what they have been doing, they all said how much they had missed the infamous Essex Girls - about 4 buses in a row knew who we were because people kept talking about how much fun we were!! Hey ho - the truth always gets out evenutally!!

We have realised that everyone has an alterego, and some of them are dangerous! Gloria and Tony made some appearances over the last two days much to everyones amusement,some of the photos may explain more!!

Anyway we are now in Christchurch, literally done nothing but get straight on the internet. Waiting for Jimbob abd Kevhead to arrive as they left Queenstown a day early to go rafting so will spend the evening with them, saying our last goodbyes. We did find out that some of the bus crew will be in sydney when we are so that will be really good.

We have all loved New Zealand so much, it is such a beautiful country, we have had the most amazing time, met the most amazing people and are so sad to be leaving it. However, OZ is round the corner and so is Julie, so we will have to perk ourselves up for the next stage of our trip. We arnt even half way through yet!!!

We seem to be getting less and less comments on the blog from you guys, so come on let us know how you are as we love reading them.

Missing you all and hope all is well

Take care

As they say...when one door closes another one opens! Australia will be brilliant in a different way, with lots of surprises in store I am sure. I bet Sydney will be fun, the Aussies like a beer or two and so do you now by the sounds of it. You take care and try not to be hung over for the flight!
Love you lots - Sue G xx

And where are the comments from the guys???

Lots of love to you all, missing you xxx

Hey girls,

Still reading all the entries and checking the pics out on facebook.. I hope you realise that the first hour or so of my mornings at work are spent just looking at your photos - people at work think I'm a right lazy skiver!! The last NZ pics were awesome Debs, some of the 'scenic' shots were so beautiful, can't image what it must be like to see that with your own eyes. Glad the reunion with your old bus friends was great, and even better to hear you're giving us Essex girls such a good rep out there! Still hugely jealous of your adventures anyway, you're making me seriously want to consider giving up my job and naffing off somewhere... bad girls. Kate, its just too annoying how perfect your hair is when you're supposed to be living out of a rucksack and looking all scruffy. All of you look too perfect, let's have some of those unwashed looks please!!!! Anyway, rambled on for long enough, take care and have an amazing time in Oz. Lots and lots of love to all of you, Emma xxxxx

Hi Girls really missing you all
what does a bloke have to do to get a hug around here'?
do i have to fly out and join you? When you all come home I want lots of hugs. It sounds a really SOOPA trip and lots of fun. I hope you are noting all those new fiends addresses so you can travel the world to meet them again.
Are there any spare bunks in your hostel as i might surprise you and just turn up, (Maybe!)
Anyway now I have found out how to send a comment I might send some more messages so be warned!
Have a great time and i will be wanting to hear all the details when you get back.
Lots of love to you all
