Wednesday already…..Tomorrow we are starting our journey!!
Yesterday we took Mina (our cat) to ours neighbours’ place, where she will have pretty in very good hands. I’m sure.

We are nearly ready. We just have to pack. I have a list of things that I should not forget in the iPhone (things software) and we will follow it tonight.

News regarding our trip arrangements are that Jucy cars sent us a corrected reservation without the ferry and the top insurance. Now it costs $35 per day, which is about 14 Euro per day.

We also got an email back from vanira lodege in Tahiti saying that they are available on the days we requested, so we might book. Look at the photo on the left. Bungalows look great! and they all have views to the ocean!

It costs 105 euros per night. This is far more than we had on mind as budget for sleeping but we might make an exception.

We also got some feedback from Poor Knights diving centre.
They have daily trips to poor knight islands from Tutukaka. Full day with two dives, everything included (equipment too) is $225. It does look pretty good in the photos and video.

Yesterday I sent an email to everybody to give the address of the blog. I got tons of answers and recommendations. I would like to encourage you to put them as comments of the posts instead of emails to me. 

This morning Geneva was under snow. We just hope that there will be no problem with snow tomorrow. In Geneva and in London, sure.

Monday. 3 days to go.
I just booked the car for our stay in New Zealand. We will be getting to Auckland on the 28th of February, at 21.35, so we will rent it from the 1st of March until the 26th, when we will drop it in Christchurch
The company I used (that I found they have a very cool internet site) is jucy (http://www.jucy.co.nz).
We are taking a small car. $936 for 26 days so around $36 per day. We add extra $12 per day for a good insurance, making it $48 (about 20 euro per day)(after calling VISA, they told us that if we pay with VISA card, the insurance is automatically upgraded to the best one). That includes free Ferry to change Islands. (only if you go from the south island to the north one…).

We have also booked a nice hotel in London for Thursday that we found via http://www.bookings.com 
You can find very good last minute deals in this site, even a bit cheaper that the one we were going to use before http://www.ratestogo.com. The hotel is 4* (Shaftesbury Premier London Hyde Park) and normally costs 395 gbp per night while we pay  59.

In San Francisco we also have a hostel booked (USA Hostels San Francisco). For booking hostels we normally use http://www.hostelworld.com.

Now we would like to book the first night in Taithi. There we will probably stay only a couple of nights. We will rent a car, and then we might take the plane to go to Moores and Bora Bora. For the time being we will probably book only the one in Taithi, probably this one that looks supercool http://www.vaniralodge.com/bungalows
