Laura's gone to New Zealand!

Early this morning (2am to be exact!) Laura left our lovely little Island to go to New Zealand. Her burns are really bad and she cant put anything on them or go out in the sun so decided it wasnt really worth staying.
Emily and I have stayed so that we can finish our scuba course etc and we are all going to meet up in Auckland on our original arrival date which is next monday. Hopefully then Laura will have recovered and we can continue our trip as planned.

M 'n' M's day of adventure...whilst Laura did nothing!

Hey from all 3 of us for once!
Thanks for all the comments and well done for working out how to use blog.
Today, Emily and I went hiking right over the island (which is a BIG mountain!!!!) we thought it would be a leisurely 4 hour walk but found ourselves scrambling up rock faces, crawling under fallen down trees and climbing up roots. NOT FUN!!
It was absolutely beautiful when we got to the "needle" at the top but not sure it was worth all the effort. We were looking forward to the waterful at the end since the beginning of our treck but when we FINALLY got there, it was too cold to go in. Before the 15 minute walk to the bus stop we decided that an ice cream was definitely in order. luckily, we found the only shop on the island that sells them wooo.
Meanwhile, Laura sat on her ass waiting at the cafe 30 seconds away from the hostel drinking a cold coca cola and munching on a chocolate brownie wondering when we were going to return. When we didnt arrive on the 2nd bus (bearing in mind there is only 1 an hour) she went to...sit on her ass again...and read her book.
Love Emma, Laura and Emily x x x

Rarotonga

We're in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands now. Its perfect with white sandy beaches and turquise water. Its also really hot though and we're all slightly frazzled. P20 is amazing if you manage to get it everywhere. if not you get incredibly patchy skin. my stomach could be a pirate map!
We havn't really done anything yet since we arrived 3 days ago except for lie around in the sun but we have lots of plans for the next 2 weeks.
theres a market on saturday, church on sunday which is said to have an amazing choir and we are doing a paddy dive course mon - thurs which means we have a certificate to scuba dive on our own anywhere in the world.
We also plan to treck across the island over the mountain in the middle which apparently takes 4 hours. Mind you, this time scale was given to us by our 2 room mates who got incredibly lost!
We found a random computer that doesnt charge for some reason so all this is free at the moment yay!

LA

we're in LA atm staying in a road off of hollywood blvd. tuesday we went to look at all the stars (found marilyn monroe and johnny depp amongst others)
wednesday was spent at universal studios. it was raining so there were no queues! we were however accused of bringing the weather with us. You lot go it back half way throught the day though - have fun with that :p The tour of the studios was definitely the best bit. we drove through the road where desperate housewives is filmed (and took some photos for Ruth and Jo)
The rides were great too but were kinda short so we were glad we didnt queue for them
Yesterday we went to venice beach and spent the day walking along the sand - first bit of exercise since we left. It was sooo much cleaner than english beaches but Lisa (our room mate) said it was really dirty compared to the ones in australia - it can only get better! I was ill last night but fine this morning so were off on a tour to rodeo drive etc shortly and then window shopping on third street promenade.

Anyway, gota go as i only have a couple of mins left!

1 day

leaving tomorrow woo

We'll be in LA in 2 weeks!

We're leaving 2 weeks yesterday - scary stuff. Laura and Emily have finished work already and i finish at NPM this friday. Also got a christmas temp job at superdrug in Croydon which either finished yesterday or will this sunday (not too sure but find out tomorrow.)
Then we have a week of last minute preparation and theres lots to do. However, arranging leaving parties seems to be the highest priority. Not doing too badly though - sorting bank accounts out tomorrow morning, have a prescription for antibiotics (thanks mum) just in case we get any deadly diseases and going shopping on sat with Eve for trousers and primark tops :D

Really excited but gona miss everyone loads so make sure you all leave stuff for us to read!
