Sorry about my lack of attentiveness to this site. It hasn't been for lack of trying. It's just that Internet of late hasn't been easy to come by and then when I do find it, the computers are really crappy and coin operated and you can't plug in cameras, memory card readers, etc. So for starters - I've uploaded HEAPS of new photos from my time in NZ so please check those out.

 

I've only got 2 days left in NZ and then it's back to London to spend some time with Raj and Pari and then, home in about two weeks (I can't believe it).

 

The last 10 or so days have been great. Franz Josef was definitely a huge highlight. The downside of the last while has been that I was quite sick (with what I think was food poisoning) for a while... But, I'm much better now and eating everything again. I've met some really cool people in the last little while so that has made it a lot more fun. Two of them were Canadians.

 

Speaking of Canada - today is CANADA DAY so happy Canada Day to all. Guess how I spent it??? I went snowboarding today at Coronet Peak. It was absolutely brilliant. We had a flag on the hill and it was a blast.

 

I'm leaving for Christchurch tomorrow and my 22 hour flight is looming in a couple of days. A belated happy father's day to all out there and also a special shoutout to my parents who have both celebrated birthdays this week.

 

See you all soon!
