by this point and there was a man who had been patiently waiting to us the internet but the campsite lady wouldn’t let him until we were sorted out! What a morning! Rob found his other emergency credit card and thankfully that worked, finally we were sorted so with a massive amount of thanks to the campsite lady we said our goodbyes for the moment and headed off to the kitchen for a cup of tea!!! I think Rob even had sugar in his!!! What a morning, we had only been up just over an hour and it has been none stop and very hectic!!! We were cheesed off that Rob would be in Auckland on our travelling anniversary but guessed it was the right thing to do!

For some strange reason if you’re a man wanting a US visa, you have to list all of the countries you have travelled to for the past 10 years, with about half an inch of space to write them in, your education history with addresses and your employment history with addresses!!! We found this really odd that only men have to do this, but I wasn’t complaining as it’s a proper chore to fill out visa forms!!! After filling in all of these and having a somewhat stressful day we treated ourselves to a beer later on in the evening! I think we had both forgotten how stressful life can get at times!

When we woke up the next morning we both looked at each other and
