Today is my 3rd day in Bali, Indonesia. It is hot, so hot. The day I arrived it was 38 degrees! I don't think I've ever sweat this much in my life. It is gorgeous here, really gorgeous. Can't wait to share the photos!

roller coaster
Wow, my moods certainly seem to change quickly. For some reason it just totally hit me that I'm in Australia, and that is just amazing. I freakin love Melbourne and I'm so sad I only had 2 days here, and that I have to leave tomorrow.
It just doesn't seem real that I'm doing this stuff. That I technically live in New Zealand now, and I'm taking mini trips to Australia and Indonesia, like seriously. I can't seem to wrap my head around it, and then bam, it hits me.. and I realize how amazing my life is right now.

Frustrated.
It's my 4th day of my 12 days of travel, and I miss Auckland. I feel like totally face palming myself for being so silly. I'm in Australia for petes sake! Right now I'm in Melbourne. Maybe it's the thought of how expensive Australia is, maybe it's cause now I've gotten worried about going to Bali. Ugh, I dont know what's wrong with me. Why am I like this.. why can't I just enjoy the fact that I'm travelling right now, and it's such a short little trip away from Auckland I should be enjoying every second. SIGH.
Ok, so I was having a rough morning when I wrote this. I'm feeling better now. I've only got a day left in Australia, which is just so weird.. but I am excited for Bali!! Can't wait to swim and lay in the sun :)

She's on Fire
Wow. It had been a long time since I made a blog entry. Sorry everyone. I have been so busy, and as my previous post shows, I was away in Rarotonga for awhile.
It's so weird seeing Vancouver everywhere. The world really does have all eyes on Van/Whistler at the moment. I was in the casino last night, and on a gigantic screen they were showing olympic photage and the sea of people wearing red and white, and canadian flags everywhere. I will admit, I do kinda wish I was home just to participate in all the festivities, but I am 100% glad that I am in New Zealand. So happy that Canada is doing so well and getting lots gold medals. I've got all my kiwi friends rooting for Canada :)
Let me tell you, while I was in Raro, I was home sick for AUCKLAND. Not for BC, but Auckland. I love being here so much, it has become home now.

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE
Just a short journey away
Rarotonga, Cook Islands. As I had posted about earlier, I booked myself a little vacation inside my vacation to go see the Cook Islands. I was really excited to go, however about 5 days before I left, the Cook Islands were hit hard by a cyclone. I was freaking out and constantly updating the news to see what was going on. Thankfully the cyclone bypassed Rarotonga, but it devestated Aitutaki, a near by island. After hearing that Raro was ok, I let myself be excited again.
The hostel I stayed at. It was called International Backpackers. It was run by a husband and wife in their 70's, and their daughter. They all live there, as well as their 6 year old granddaughter. It was cheap, very cheap. So it was ideal for me, but you really get what you pay for. While the people were lovely, it was not the cleanest place ever. The noise was awful. I'd wake up at about 7am to the owner sawing, drilling, banging, etc. BUT, if you're looking for cheap, I would recommend it. Plus, the beach was actually a 3 minute walk down the road.
The sunsets were pretty gorgeous.
It was beautiful. but unfortunately I was sick the entire time, and got cold sores and imbitago all around my mouth. It was rather disgusting. I ended up leaving a couple days early. Which was fine with me. While it was beautiful, there really isn't that much to do unless you have money to spend, or are there with your signifigant other. It's very much a romantic island.
