The first thing that hits you in Hong Kong is the heat. Within five minutes of leaving the airport, you’ll be itching to have a shower. The next things you’ll notice will be the pollution and the crowds. We had decided to stay in Kowloon, the main shopping district of Hong Kong where all the locals flock in the evening, and where many of the budget hostels are (budget hostels which have some pretty interesting pasts, such as unaccounted for bodies being found under beds and other wonderful things like that). Our room in our hostel was 14 floors up, had no window, and the most cramped shower/toilet that I’ve ever seen. But there were no dead bodies, and the hostel owners were lovely and friendly, and we had air conditioning – it could have been much worse!

Welcome to our blog. From here you will be able to track our journey around New Zealand. Hopefully we will keep you stocked with photos and accounts of how much fun it is to pick apples for 12 hours a day!
Be sure to keep in touch, either by leaving us comments on the blog posts or by email/facebook and we will see you all in the spring!
