The North Island adventures are sadly coming to a close, however the the fun and games continue!! Currently in Wellington, a fabulous and vibrant city with lots to offer! Water blesses the city on each side with the native bush surrounding the city which makes for great adventure and scenic views! We travelled down from Hamilton after an emotional goodbye to the Wilson Family who were wonderful! We took the TransScenic Train which was fantastic, the scenery was ...

New Zealand, what a place!! Beautiful landscape, inspiring sights and genuine people! I could happily get used to the Kiwi living! Arrived in Auckland at 4.30am 10th September, ask me what happened to Tuesday the 9th and I wont know! Lost and gone forever! After an early start it was straight into Auckland to hunt for some digs.

Maybe that was it, maybe I'd spent too long in Ne...

Now fully in the swing of things in week 3 of challenger sports soccer. Arrived at JFK New York at 12:45 and took the express bus into the city. There were times when I didnt think we would make it out of the big apple alive!! An interesting journey, but when you see the New York City skyline open u...
