Hello All,

I finally managed to get some money out and pay for the internet, whoop. anyhoo, am feeling better about being out here and have been cycling a bit. Did a bit of guiding today with another guy who works for Freeride, so thats cool. The weather is super hot, keep burning my arms so looking like a lobster. I have a mountain of washing to do, so thats my next priority. am also going to the local burger joint tonight to see if i can get a job, going to try finding another part time job also. Wanaka is lovely, laid back and not to busy at the moment, but apparently the town population increase by 10,000 over christmas and new year, crazy. not been doing to much as ive been trying to settle in. Went to Cinema Paradiso last night to see a french film, this place is amazing. you can get fresh cookies, a dinner at the interval and icre cream. i went crazy and spent about $40 on food there last night, i thought i deserved the treat, ha ha. The purple cow hostel is cool, but have been sharing digs with two blokes, one of which snored so so loud, it was relentless. i even tried sleeping out side the room on the sofa, but could still hear him. Loud american!! anyhoo jst catching up with emails etc at the moe, have printed my cv off to hand out to places around the town hope everyone are ok , missing you heaps

lots of love
