Travel Blog: Kaye Albyt in the UK
See what Kaye has been up to each day

We're a great nation of travellers and with New Zealand being so far removed from the rest of the world, we love to get away and explore the seven wonders of the world and more!
Kaye, a sub editor at Newstalk ZB, decided to combine her love of travel with her love of words and

Follow her travels over the next week and a half as she meets Prince Philip, has tea and tiny cakes on a royal ship and hopefully doesn't cause any diplomatic incidents! |
