Two best friends relive their ’Gap Year’ travelling the world in 2010, by re-reading and reflecting on the hilariously misguided blog diary they kept along the way.

S4E23 is out now!

This week, we look fondly back at a chaotic day, for a Rachel spent in bed after getting ill via orange juice (we still don’t really know how) and for Emily spent running up and down an abandoned skate park with two Australian snowboarders, and being given a highly ill-advised dreadlock. 🏂

Some unfortunate shots from our wild and windy day on the Milford Sound, including us tucking heartily into our free meal buffet, Rachel’s close encounter with underwater wildlife, and the unidentified bird we met along the way, which I believe to be a kakapo but Rachel insists is a mountain parrot….

Among other things, we learn more of NZ’s possum problem, stare into our deepest desires and traumas at the most reflective lake we’d ever seen, and crash into the town of Franz Josef, ready and raring for some prime glacier time.
