Having just arrived in New Zealand after spending 7 months in Thailand, I hated it! It was cold, I knew no one and I just couldn’t muster even the smallest smile! I remember feeling a little lost and lonely.
I booked onto the Magic Bus, a tour company that transports you wherever you want to go. I chose to travel around the whole of the north and south islands. It was the best thing I could have done, I made friends quickly, had a lot of fun, and had some fantastic experiences!
It was only about 6.00am when we left Auckland. The bus driver made a pit-stop, so we could take a photograph to mark the start of our adventures! It was cold and misty, but the views of the city and the low-lying clouds on the far side were fabulous!
And just like that, I was happy and excited once more!
