 So, for the 3rd year running we've done an Easter road trip... This time we hit the South Coast of NSW! As always, we started our trip early in the morning on Good Friday to avoid traffic. We were out and on the road by 6am which meant that the roads were mostly empty and we made good time to Kiama where we stopped for a quick breakfast while staring at the Blowhole. Unfortunately, the sea was too calm for the blowhole this morning... still a nice spot to have breakfast though!. Our goal for the day was to reach Ulladulla at some point, but since we didn't have to be there at any specific time, we took our time and made a side trip to Jervis Bay and its beautiful beaches. The beaches and waters at Jervis Bay are just stunning. |

 Back in Khao Lak and Thailand once again... This trip was a spur of the moment decision as we hadn't planned to travel anywhere for at least a couple of months and were originally going to have longer time away. But a few things at home changed all of that ;) As we found out that we were expecting we realised that if we wanted to travel on our own again (for a very long time), we had to take the opportunity and do it right away! We debated on where to go and since we were only travelling for slightly over a week, we did't want to have to travel too far! |

 Why would we fly over to New Zealand to go skiing when we can do that here in Australia? Because we can of course ;) It does help when you have enough frequent flyer miles to get the return journey for free... Unfourtunately, as we only had enough leave to do a very small trip the plan was to do skiing for two days and then catch up with some friends in Auckland! It all started very early... It's good to get an early start to the day but a flight at 6.15am meant that we had to be at the airport at 4am. Which of course if way too early for the trains to be running so we had to get a taxi. At least it was there on time to pick us up and at that time in the morning there wasn't any traffic either so it was a very quick trip. |

 We've saved the very best to last... Our stay at the Tokoriki Island Resort was the highlight of our trip! Our time in Fiji was coming to an end which was a bit sad... luckily we had decided to have a real luxurious end to our trip and we found our next island thanks to recommendations from some of our friends that have been there previously and loved it. And yes, it was really really good! We loved every moment we spent there... The staff here, were if possible, even friendlier than previously (and that's a tough call), they had an infinity pool that was just like a dream and don't get us started on the food... Five star meals every single day!! |

 Viwa island, to get here we had to get a bit off the beaten track... but it was really worth it! Travelling between the islands in the Yasawas is quite easy as there are large catamarans to ship you around. On these ships you barely feel the movement of the ocean and it's only if you were to board a smaller boat that this might be an issue. Well, Viwa island is not along the Catamaran path so you have to board a fairly small boat for the last 45min of travel. On the day we choose to cross the ocean it was a bit rocky and we were heaving up and down quite a bit but luckily we made it to Viwa without any incidents ;) |
